Health, Testing & Certifications
At Maine Coon Gallery, responsible breeding is the foundation of our program. Every king and queen in our cattery comes from reputable European lines, is fully DNA tested, and receives routine veterinary care and evaluations. We test for major hereditary conditions that affect the Maine Coon breed, including HCM, SMA, and PKDef, and we only breed cats who pass all health requirements. Our cats are also monitored regularly by licensed veterinarians to ensure long term well being and sound structure.
Because many of our cats originate from Europe, their official veterinary and pedigree documents may appear in Russian or their country’s native language; however, complete documentation, lineage verification, and English summaries are always provided to our kitten families. Every kitten leaves our home with full veterinary records, proof of vaccinations and deworming, microchip information, and copies of any relevant parental testing. Our goal is transparency, ethical practice, and raising healthy, well socialized kittens with complete proof of care at every step.

Health Documentation & Certifications
This is an example of the official pedigree and export certification that accompanies our breeding cats. All of our queens and kings were imported from reputable, registered European catteries and come with verified lineage through recognized international organizations such as WCF (World Cat Federation) and TICA (The International Cat Association).
We maintain all original documents, including pedigrees, microchip records, export certificates, and vaccination records, for every parent cat in our program.
Full documentation for each parent is available to view upon request.
For privacy and security, identifying information (such as microchip numbers, breeder addresses, and signatures) is only shared with verified adopters.
