Our Story

WHISKERS & PAWS Cattery is located in Canyon Lake, California, in beautiful Southern California. We are a registered cattery with both CFA (Cat Fanciers’ Association) and TICA (The International Cat Association).

Our focus is raising healthy, well-socialized Maine Coon kittens. For this reason, all of our Kings and Queens undergo extensive genetic and health testing before being placed into any breeding program. Testing includes,

• HCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy)

• SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy)

• PKDef

• FIV/FELV

• Giardia

• Tritrichomonas foetus (TF)

• Echo's & Hip Grading at age appropriate

We also perform advanced genetic testing to support pedigree analysis and responsible development of the Maine Coon breed.

All kittens are guaranteed against any life-threatening genetic defect for one (1) year from the date of adoption.

A Personal Note from Susie Robles

I am a Maine Coon mommy first and a breeder second.

My journey began in 2016 when I set out to find a Maine Coon kitten only to fall in love and end up with three. During my search, I experienced many emotions: uncertainty about legitimacy, nervousness, and unfortunately, heartbreak. I once brought a kitten home who sadly passed away in my arms while snuggling. A necropsy later revealed he crossed the rainbow bridge due to a heart deformity.

​

That experience changed me forever.

​

I am not only a breeder, I am also a pet owner who truly understands the buyer’s perspective. I know the trust, hope, and vulnerability involved in bringing a kitten home. Because of this, honesty, transparency, and health are the foundation of Whiskers & Paws. And above all, we strive to bring joy to every family who welcomes one of our kittens.
