• Born and raised in our home

Availability varies by litter. At Aristocatic Maine Coons, the colors, patterns, and traits of our Maine Coon kittens depend on the specific pairing of our Kings and Queens. Our breeding lines commonly produce colors such as black smoke, black silver tabby, brown tabby, and solid black, with occasional polydactyl kittens depending on the genetics of the parents.

If you’re interested in learning more about the different coat colors and patterns found in the breed, you can explore our Maine Coon Colors guide, which explains the unique appearance of many popular Maine Coon color variations.

Some of our kittens may also inherit polydactyl traits, meaning they have extra toes — a naturally occurring genetic trait historically associated with Maine Coons in coastal New England. You can read more about this fascinating characteristic in our Polydactyl Maine Coon blog.

While many families have preferences for specific colors or traits, we encourage focusing first on temperament, health, and overall fit for your home. Our breeding program prioritizes health-tested European bloodlines, excellent structure, and affectionate personalities.

Are your kittens health tested?

Our breeding cats undergo health screening appropriate for the breed. Kittens receive age-appropriate veterinary care before placement.

Yes. Our kittens come with a written health guarantee that protects families and ensures responsible breeding standards.

👉 Health Guarantee

👉 Is a Maine Coon right for your family?
