Sparkle Coon Cattery (Maine Coon breeders)
About us
Welcome to Sparkle Coon Cattery, I am Annelie van Vuuren. we am based in Pretoria East, South Africa.
We started our cattery in 2007.
Our cattery is now medium in size. We began with only one male, Blue Diamond and one female, Georgie Girl. We obtained these two cats from Lenthall cattery back in 2004. They have both now retired. It was only nine years ago that we began thinking about expanding our cattery. We then added Roselyn and Daisy which we re-homed as well to make space for the new blood. We decided to keep Rex and Lily from one of the previous litters. Rex and Lily retired as well. Seven years ago we added a Poli boy named Sir Barnaby from the new owner of Lenthall Cattery, we also added Iceland Paris Emperor (Dante) and Kamsky's Russian Zarress (Zoe) from Iceland and Kamsky Cattery. Zoe was also re-homed after she had to undergo a cesarean with her last litter. We also added a Poli girl named Miss Patti Paige from Lenthall Cattery. We kept Zoe's last female kitten named Jasmine. We kept Luna one of Patti's babies, a poly girl. There after we decided to keep, Cally our first Calico. We rescued Arora from a breeder that had cancer. We also kept Mia, Ray and Cinderella. Few years ago we got new kittens from Chamonix Cattery, named Percy, Ariel and Dido. Also we kept one of Patti Paige babies 3 years ago named Gabriella, we also kept Merlin one of Cally's boys.We bought Alektra from Gentle Giant Cattery a few years ago. Patti also retired a few years ago. We decided to keep Thunder and Twilight from her first litter. Then we decided to sell Percy,Ariel and Dido to another breeder and also decided to keep Pearl one of Arora's babies.
Our kittens are HIV Aids and Leukemia negative.
We also had the pleasure get the approval of the SPCA.
Our kittens consists of beautiful blue, brown, Calico , black, cream, silver tabbies and torties and on occasion some with white, they are raised with love, attention and a lot of space. Our kittens tend to be very playful and love attention, so be warned they will not be sitting on your lap the whole day. The kittens will only leave our home at 12 weeks and will be registered at SACC - Southern Africa Cat Council. When they leave they are de-wormed and inoculated. We do not Spay our kittens. You need to spay between 6-8 months of age, we supply Pedigree and transfer paper once proof have been given that the kitten have been spayed.
We normally re-home our grown breeding cats between the age of 7-8 years, when they normally aren't interested in breeding anymore.
Currently we breed with three studs: Thunder, Nurgani (Teddy) and Future stud Sir Lucky.
Our Queens consists of: Alektra, Twilight and Pearl , Jade, Ava, Cinderella, Reeze and Princess Leia.
