How did We become a Giant European Maine Coon Breeder?

Samantha comes from a family that had both raised and shared a lifelong love for the Maine Coon breed. She decided after importing her European Black Smoke boy, Klauder, from Moscow, Russia, that she would nurture the “difficult to acquire in America's” Larger breed of cat. These breeds boast healthier, more tufted, chiseled-jawed, heavy-boned, and are much BIGGER,  more feral- and-wild looking European line of the breed. She wanted to help it to thrive and flourish here in the USA, and in turn being able to offer folks such as yourself an affordable, stateside, beautiful, and structurally superior line of Giant European Maine Coons to call your very own.

Samantha’s male Klauder is getting older, having contributed to many beautiful generations of Maine Coons that now reside all around the world, and he is living out his years at the Ozark Maine Coon Cattery in Missouri. Even though he may no longer residing with King Klaudr Cattery, he will always be the ‘founding father’ of KingKlaudrcoons.

Samantha has been working diligently with Catteries throughout the US as well as overseas in Europe for about 7 years now,  to obtain the most exceptional, superior in breed quality Giant Europeans to add to their Cattery/Program here in the beautiful USA.

She has been doubly fortunate to have acquired her BIG & beautiful studs and their leading ladies from our now dear friends in Ukraine, Moscow, Kyrgyzstan, Kovrov, Novosibirsk, & Krasnodar, Russia. They each have been very carefully selected, and come from several generations of Champion pedigree, and again, they are all tested to confirm that they are genetically free from any anomalies, abnormality, or hereditary predispositions.

Katee comes from a long line of Colorado farmers/ranchers. Growing up raising cattle and farm animals with the Future Farmers of America, and 4-H sparked her passion for breeding. Her experience began at a young age and has blossomed over the years. Katee has over 4 years of Maine Coon breeding and many more years under her belt breeding goats, cattle, and herding dogs.

Their goal has been to produce the largest, most robust lines of European Maine Coons available in America, while staying true to breed standards, and have been successful in doing so.  Over the last four years, we’ve had our graduates compete in national and international Cat shows, winning several awards for both Grand and World Champion titles. They are particularly proud that Royal Canin has requested that one of their male kittens be featured on their Maine Coon dry kitten food packaging! Very proud moment for the King Klaudr Coon Cattery.

We are very excited to bring you a wide variety of colors, patterns, and let’s not forget SIZE that European Maine Coons are so well known for.
