🌿Welcome to Joie De Vivre Healthy Cattery Alliance!🌿
Joie De Vivre is built on real, hands-on experience in raising healthy, strong Maine Coon cats.
We started as a family cattery in Connecticut, where health has always been the top priority.
Over the years, we developed a deep understanding of how to raise kittens properly — from nutrition and immune support to temperament and successful adaptation in a new home.
This experience became the foundation of our Felinology School, where we teach breeders to work with knowledge, structure, and responsibility for results.
We then established the Healthy Cattery Alliance — a network of breeders who follow the same high standards.
Today, our Alliance includes catteries in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maryland, and Tennessee.
Each breeder in the Alliance has been trained through our program and understands how to raise healthy, well-developed kittens.
We proudly present their kittens as part of our system.
We build a system where kittens grow up healthy and go to homes where health is truly valued.
🌿If you are looking for a kitten, you are in the right place.🌿
Send us an email describing what you are looking for:
pet or breeding, male or female, color preferences, polydactyl, blue eyes, or any other details.
We will present available kittens that match your request.
Our kittens typically start from $2,800, depending on type of kitten.
To reserve a kitten, a $500 deposit is required (applied toward the total price).
The remaining balance is paid at pickup.
Pickup is standard, but delivery can be arranged through a trusted flight nanny or ground courier for an additional fee.
If we do not have the right kitten available, you may join our waiting list with a $100 deposit.
This amount is applied toward the reservation fee once a kitten becomes available.
🌿If you are a breeder:🌿
You may apply to join our Alliance and complete the required training.
We work with breeders who are committed to raising healthy cats and building a structured, responsible cattery.
You may also apply for training through Joie De Vivre Felinology School or request a consultation.
We work with people who want to grow, understand the process, and build a stable and ethical breeding program.

🌿Our Kittens🌿
🌿Our King🌿
Svetozar — our young red shell or red chinchilla male with odd-colored eyes — one yellow, one blue.
This rare gene passes to his kittens: about 50% are born with either odd-colored or vivid blue eyes.
According to folklore, odd-eyed cats bring happiness and good fortune to the families they join.
👑
🌿 Our Queens🌿
Half of our queens are Shaded Maine Coons, admired for their silky silver coats and mesmerizing emerald eyes. The other half are carefully selected Tortoiseshell, Blue, and Tabby Maine Coons, including Polydactyls — all chosen from our own champion bloodlines, born and raised in our home.
🌿 Health Guarantee 🌿
All of our breeding cats are DNA-tested and clear of genetic conditions. We stand behind every kitten we raise.
You have the right to take your kitten to your trusted veterinarian within 3 days of pickup for a wellness check. This is your opportunity to confirm their excellent health with a vet you trust.
