We will be checking back on our email inquiries starting the 1st of May!
As our first babies will be getting close to ready at that time.








Our cats are on a natural light cycle which means that when the days get shorter
they stop coming into season, therefore very few kittens during the winter months.
We do not keep a waiting list and recommend either watching the webpage for updates,
or dropping us an email every week or so stating what you are looking for and where you are located.

As stated above we DO NOT keep a waiting list so an email works better than phoning.
When kittens are getting close to being ready we will refer back to emails received.
Please state your name, what you are looking for as in sex, color,
and where you are located, will kitten be shipped?
This info will help when we are touching base with those looking for certain characteristics
We cannot predict size, when kittens are ready, larger ones will be priced $100 higher than the smaller
although many times kitten size is not a predictor of adult size.

In all our many years of breeding we have NEVER had a case of ringworm in our cats or kittens.

We had our vet check the kitten she was purchasing from us and they even ran a ringworm culture.
We are pleased to say it came back NEGATIVE!

~THE TRIBAL LAIR~

Where is my kitten born and raised?

Our kittens are born in the nursery completely away from all the other adult cats or older kittens.
When they are of age to toddle around they are then moved to the kindergarten
building which has large areas to play and climb.
After kittens have had their first shots and been vet checked they are then introduced into the house
where they are subjected to daily household noises and activities.
Then the kittens can have visitors.
Our adult female queens have their own queens quarters away from the studs.
They are not with a stud cat unless they are to be bred, this prevents any and all "oops" litters.
Most of our cats are free fed dry cat food. We do not feed nor endorse raw feeding.

PLANNING TO VISIT?

When scheduling an appointment to visit the animals,
PLEASE keep the following in mind.


1. We rarely schedule any visits before Noon Central Time.
With many morning chores to be completed before our day begins.


2. Keep your visitor numbers to ONLY TWO ADULTS.
We have a small home and it is difficult to accommodate a group of people.


3. NO CHILDREN
We have this rule for safety sake and to prevent stress on our
animals who are not accustomed to energetic children.


Puppy visits can be scheduled anytime after they are born.
Kitten visits can only be scheduled after they turn 8 weeks of age.

We and our insurer thank you for adhering to these restrictions.

Does SIZE matter?


Most people are attracted to the Maine Coon breed for its large size.
"I want a big maine coon", is a phrase we often hear.
Then after owning one size doesnt matter, they fall in love with the breeds temperament and personality.
It is impossible to predict which kittens will be the largest. I have had a HUGE kitten end up as an 11lb adult.
And a very tiny boy end up 28lbs! (which is our largest, that we know of)
Most stud males will range between 14-20lbs, with neuters growing larger.
Females range anywhere from 8 to 16lbs on average.
As you can see there is a large size variation.

Our stud boy Ch Congocoons King Cobra was measured today 8/11/05 at just shy of 3 years old.
He is 20lbs, 41" long, 14" at the shoulder and his tail is 31" from the floor!
His brother, Ch Congocoons Sea Serpent is also a 20lb stud!

This is Premier Congocoons Rock Python on 9/04/05
I am 5'7 and I hate to say it but about 170lbs, so you can see how large he is!


CongoCoons Kilimanjaro is now 23lbs
CongoCoons Rock Python is now 22lbs
CongoCoons Maxwell is now 26lbs
CongoCoons Kashmir is now 25lbs
CongoCoons Flynn is now 25lbs
CongoCoons Bad Bocephus is now 28lbs
CongoCoons George W of the Bush is now 22lbs
CongoCoons Diamond is now 25.3lbs
CongoCoons Cheyenne (female) is now 17.8lbs

Yes we like 'em big too!

If you have a Congocoons Heavyweight that you
would like listed here, just let us know!

Backwoods Asia out of Congocoons Lily of Backwoods
Is now a long, lean, vet weighed 31lbs! Coongratulations Robbi!







WHY SHOULD I SPAY MY GIRL?
Take a look at our Feline Health page and you will understand
why we require that all pet girls be spayed by six months of age.
We have photographs of a pyometra surgery-Caution it is GRAPHIC

A FEW FACTS YOU MIGHT FIND INTERESTING

Tabby cats are striped cats, you can have a brown tabby, silver tabby or any color tabby.

Orange striped cats like garfield are called Red Tabby.
(Yes I know, they look orange to me too!)
Gray striped cats are Blue Tabby.
The black and brown striped cats are called Brown Tabby.

Tabby cats come in two different stripe patterns.
"Classic" tabby- are the bullseye design stripes or swirls down the side of the cat.
(To help you remember just think of a big C on the side of the cat)

"Mackerel" tabby- are bars of stripes running like the ribs of a mackerel fish down the sides.

Yes Maine Coons come in a variety of colors, but do not come in pointed like a siamese cat.

"Poly" cats are cats with extra toes on their feet.
Also called "Hemingway cats" because Ernest Hemmingway owned polys!
Polys cannot be shown in Championship class but are often shown as Household Pets.
Polys are just as healthy and pose no more health concerns than normal toed Maine Coons.
Although it is Sometimes necessary to remove problem claws to keep them from growing into the pads of the feet.

Champion means just that a Champion Cat.
Premier means Champion but the cat is altered (or de-sexed).
Grand Champion or Grand Premier means that cat was shown to its Championship then
continued to be shown until it defeated a certain number of cats after attaining that title
to be awarded Grand before its name.

When clipping your kittens claws if you will walk around with the cat in your arms
the kitten will have its attention on where you are going and not notice you are trimming them.

NEVER use anything around your cat that when mixed with water turns white-these are toxic!
