As a family run cattery, Lucki Maine Coons is a small, in home Missouri Maine Coon cattery that breeds and shows Championship Maine Coon cats in TICA & CFA as well as Maine Coon Polydactyl cats in TICA. We started in early 2020 by researching the wonderful breed of Maine Coons. We fell in love with the beautiful gentle giants and decided to bring them into our family. After a lot of searching we brought our first Maine Coon into our home later in the year. We decided to bring our cats in from top breeders that keep health, genetics, pedigree & lineage, and breed standard at the forefront of their breeding programs. We have been lucky enough to become close friends with all of their breeders and have maintained this relationship.

Our first Maine Coon, CHA. Woolen Tails Happy of LuckiMC. Happy, known as Svetty to us was our very first Maine Coon. She had four healthy litters as a queen and retired after her last litter was born in October of 2022. Svetty is will be six in February of 2025, she occasionally shows with TICA. She received her Champion Alter title in January of 2024 & is halfway to a Grand Champion Alter title. Svetty has always been one of our most outgoing, loving cats and I couldn’t think of a better cat to start off / be introduced into the breed with. She really embodies the spirit and is the true definition of a “gentle giant”.

Our cattery, Lucki Maine Coons is a family affair. we do everything with our kittens & cats. All of our cats are handled by us daily and live in our home as they are our personal pets as well as breeding cats. We do not keep any of our Maine Coon kittens or cats in cages, we also do not utilize outside kennels or buildings. Our Maine Coon kittens and cats are raised in our home. It is important to note while our cats do live in our home as our pets, for the health and safety of our cats, our intact males do live separately from our intact females. Our Maine Coon cats are also indoor only. Unless we are going out with the stroller, our cats stay indoors at all times. We do not believe that they are missing out by not being allowed outside. Unless potentially missing out on animal traps, vehicles, poisoning, various parasites, being stolen, contagious diseases such as Feline Leukemia or Feline “Aids”, wild animals/predators is considered missing out on life for a cat. We prefer for our kittens to also be kept indoors. In addition to your Maine Coon not being exposed to hazards outside, it is said that cats that are kept indoors exclusively have a stronger bond with their owners.

Our mission is to only produce healthy, well-tempered and breed standard Maine Coons that excel both in the show rings and as beloved companions. Lucki Maine Coons is one of the few Maine Coon catteries in Missouri that actively shows both Maine Coon & Maine Coon Poly cats & kittens. We are registered with TICA – The International Cat Association & CFA – Cat Fanciers Association. We enjoy showing our cats frequently and shows are the perfect place for you to meet us & our cats in person.

Our cats are seen by a licensed veterinarian regularly. We try our best to be the best and only breed quality and loving Maine Coons, ensure that our babies get the amazing home they deserve, as well as keeping connected to our kittens. Our cats are truly a large part of our family and we hope to bring this same experience to our kitten families as well. You can find pictures of our prior litters on the “Kitten Gallery” page. These are all of the kittens born from our kings & queens in our cattery.

Our Cattery Name: “Lucki” Maine Coons

We incorporated the name “Lucki” as a tribute to the joy and luck that these amazing cats bring into our lives, and hopefully yours too. Every kitten that we raise is done with so much heart, purpose, and a little bit of that Lucki magic. It’s rememberable, a fun and unique spin on the word lucky. We also felt that it was a good way to incorporate how “lucki” we feel to have all of you supporting us and how “lucki” we feel to be in the Maine Coon world.

You often ask, Why Maine Coons?

The most popular question we seem to get asked, why did we choose Maine Coons? The answer is, until you’ve experienced the love of a Maine Coon, you might not understand. There is something truly undeniably special about this breed. It is not just their size or their appearance, although their ear tufts, “lion like” ruffs, and fluffy “bottle brush” tails are certainly magical. It is their gentle nature, their personality that is soulful and endlessly affectionate. Maine Coons are the kind of cats that will follow you from room to room, chirp and trill to tell you about their day, and curl up next to you like they’ve always belonged there. They’re intelligent, confident, intuitive, and playful companions who seem to always know when their owner needs some extra love. Once we welcomed our first Maine Coon into our home, we knew that this was the breed we wanted to not only dedicate our hearts to but, also our home. They are our family in every sense of the word. Every kitten that we raise is a reflection of that deep connection, and it is our joy to help families experience the same magic that started our journey.

What sets us, Lucki Maine Coons, apart from others?

We are a small, intentional cattery and we like it that way. We only have 3-4 litters per year, which means that every one of our Maine Coon kittens is raised with hands-on love, care, socialization, and individual attention from the beginning. Our small size allows us to truly focus on the quality of our Maine Coons. We know each of our Maine Coon kittens deeply and do get strongly attached to them. We know their individual needs, their personalities, and what kind of home that we think they will best thrive in. This personal approach is something that we’re proud of, and we believe that it makes all the difference in raising confident, loving, and well-adjusted Maine Coons for life.

Health & Genetic Testing… Our cats are DNA tested and/or are from parents that have been tested for the most common diseases in Maine Coons; HCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy) and SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy) as well as PKDef (Pyruvate Kinase Disease), and PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease). In addition to genetic testing, our current breeding cats are screened for HCM via Echocardiogram by a board certified veterinarian cardiologist. It is important that the cats, especially Maine Coon Cats are screened by an echocardiogram as they are prone to developing HCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy), a common form of heart disease found in cats. It is important to note that although a cat can be negative for the mutation found in the MYBPC3 gene, that does not mean that they cannot or will not develop HCM later in life. No one can absolutely rule out any disease but, we can do our best to prevent certain diseases with this testing.

Breeding Rights… We also do not sell breeding rights. Our goal is to place our kittens in loving, permanent, pet-only homes where they can thrive. We are raising companions, not breeders. All of our kittens are spayed/neutered at 14 weeks old prior to going home, no exceptions. We do allow for kittens to go to show homes to potentially be shown in Premiership or Alter. Show quality kittens are the same cost as pet only as we cannot guarantee the kitten’s success in shows. Show quality kittens will also be spayed or neutered prior to going home. A kitten being shown does not mean that the kitten is to be bred in the future.
