What do you expect when you visit a cattery? Maybe cages with lonely kitties clamoring for attention-or even worse, withdrawing from your reach? Well, adjust your expectations! Patty and John have created an environment so entertaining and adventurous, you just may want to move in! Upstairs bedrooms have been cleverly turned into kitty dream houses. Filled with a variety of toys, secluded sleeping areas, (for those rare times when the cats or kittens aren't snuggling with Patty and John), and access to outdoor "catios," which provide a risk-free outside area for tree climbing, chasing butterflies, dodging raindrops or lounging in the sun! However, all of their cats, Maine coons and long-time family pets alike, spend most of their time being household PETS! They chase each other around the raised walkways that circle most rooms in the house, race up and down the spiral staircase, insert themselves into every family activity, as only cats can do, and are totally "at home" with any visitors. If you're planning to add a kitten to your family, you can be confident that all kittens offered by Patty and John have recieved hign quality medical care and food, are highly socialized -and unlike many breeders- have had essential time spent with their momma to insure they are well-schooled in "cat behavior"... read more

Absolutely phenomenal breeder. I have not come close to finding another one anywhere near the West Coast that: -Spends so much time caring for their cats -Takes such care with queens/studs; I've seen her neuter/spay cats after only a litter or two if they showed any signs of being unhappy or it affecting their health even slightly -Maintains such a strong connection with former kitties (there's a Facebook group community where people can post pics of their kittens growing up, ask questions, share health concerns, etc) -Is so, so, SO transparent, specifically regarding any health concerns she learns about for one of her cats or a previous kitten Horus (our Maine Coon kitten through Nacoonzi) is about 7 months now, and I can legitimately say that he is already the coolest cat I've ever met. The cost of Maine Coons is pretty high from any local breeder, and I'm by no means rich. We had to save up for the better part of a year to cover the cost of Horus plus for potential vet emergencies. He's been worth every single penny without question, and having seen all the work Patty & team puts in, probably should have cost about twice as much. If you want to have the best possible chance of getting a healthy, happy, well socialized kitten, this is the breeder for you. read more

My husband and I have always wanted a Maine Coon in our lives. After doing some research online, we came across this cattery. After corresponding online with Patty, we decided to purchase a kitten from one of her next litters. We couldn't be happier with our choice! We were able to tour their home once the kittens were several weeks old. Their cattery is clean, and well built! They have put a lot of time in planning out their rooms for their cats. You can tell nothing but the utmost care goes into each cat they own, and into the mamas and kittens that are in their care. We picked out our kitten during that first meeting! Patty corresponded often in the weeks that followed, right up until it was time to bring our kitten home. We received updates and pictures of our kittens growth. The whole experience was wonderful! Our kitten, Willow is everything we were wanting! She came to us spayed & first shots were taken care of. All the important tests were completed. She is very healthy, active and full of personality! She is nearly 5 months old and has become a wonderful addition to our family! I would recommend anyone to Nacoonzi/Oregon Maine Coons. read more

We found Patty and John on their website in May of 2017, we filled out an application and Patty called within the hour. We felt like instant friends. Patty had a littler of kittens that were just a few weeks old and invited us up for a visit. It was love at first sight for the kittens, the cattery, and Patty and John. We picked out 2 kittens that were available, but not yet ready to come home, and were invited to come visit as often as we wanted (this is the perks of adopting before the Nacoonzi family got so big) we visited twice more before we could bring Gatsby and Zelda home. We have watched Patty and John grow their business and (the family) for the past few years, they are top notch as far as breeders go and are more than willing to go above and beyond the needs of their clients. They also put the health and well being of all the cats they work with as their priority. We can't give enough positive feedback about Patty and John Cruickshank and the Nacoonzi Cattery! read more

We just acquired a kitten from Maine Coon. The process was beautifully managed by Patty and John. They are totally dedicated to the health and wellbeing of all their (many!) cats and kittens. And they are equally dedicated to ensuring that your kitten is in the best possible shape it could be when you pick it up. Kittens are spayed or neutered, dewormed, have had any needed shots, etc, etc. by the time one collects them. The environment at the cattery is totally cat friendly: the cats are free to roam in large enclosed spaces and on occasion, the rest of the house. John is building a "cat run" also. Patty was incredibly responsive and conscientious during the time between selecting a kitten and actually collecting him. Our kitten is full of beans and of course, now terrorizing the house :) If you are interested in a Maine Coon cat and you can get to Patty and John's place, this is the place to go. I strongly recommend this cattery. A great experience. read more

I've gotten Five Main Coons from this Breeder. All are absolutely stunning. They take special care to ensure that all kittens are the healthiest and well socialized they can be. Follow up after sale by them is outstanding. Unlike other breeders, is outstanding. They care about each and every adopted kitten and new owner greatly. I know for a fact that they have paid for vet care or even a replacement in the event a kitten goes ill. No other breeders do this. Again they care deeply about their kittens. I know someone else has posted a review to bring them down. What this person has said is untrue. The owners went over the top to help this person out. They put out thousands of dollars to help improve their life. This is not enough for some individuals who repeatedly go through psychotic behavior and lash out at the hand that feeds them. You will not find another breeder better. read more

I have known Patty and John since they started breeding Maine Coons. They are wonderful people who truly care. They care for EVERY cat or kitten that comes in and out of their cattery. They are available at all times of the day and night for questions or concerns. I have a pure bred that came straight from Czech Republic and he has papers. These are reputable breeders, and they get all of their queens and studs from reputable breeders. Most of them come from Europe. These are Maine Coons with strong bloodlines. Patty and John do every test imaginable to make sure people go home with a healthy kitten. Of course some things are out of their control, like with anything. Animals do get sick sometimes, and nothing can prevent that. That is part of life. They try VERY hard and I appreciate them for that. I have posted pictures of my three cats: Sammy, Nala and Charlie. read more

Wow! John and patty are the most unique breeders, mentors, friends and partners. They take an out of the box approach. John and patty truely and passionately love each one of their animals and the families who adopt one of their fur babies, they then become john and Patty's family. They offer one on one guidance and mentorship for each family through the life of their baby. They also have helped many families with medical bill that were not related to the genetic of the kittens, they do this because they truely care about the baby and the family. They do extensive testing on all their animals to ensure the best health, they hand pick all their queens and studs from all over the world. They have the cleanest home all the fur babies live in. I HIGHLY reccomend them. They are truely AMAZING and so kind hearted. read more

If you are looking for a Maine Coon breeder who is in it for the cats not the cash, you have found the one you need. John and Patty at Oregon Maine Coon Cattery are great. They will help you along with anything you need through the whole adoption process and that continues after you bring the kitten home. We got our Waffles from them after other misadventures with other breeders. John and Patty truly love their cats and only want and offer the best. You are welcomed into their home to see all of the cats, adults and kittens. The cats and kittens are well socialized, both with people and the other cats.

Welcome to the world's very best Maine Coon kitties! The care & love these people give their cats & kittens is truly unparalleled. The cattery has its own Facebook page for kitty parents to post photos of their babies, ask questions, solicit advice from other members & professionals and share excitement & fun. The breeders raise the kittens in their home--in their bedroom, in the living room. Thus, all the kittens up for adoption are socialized with regard to both humans & other felines. They provide instructional support & follow each adopted kitten for its lifetime. They go way above & beyond in every respect of breeding--especially the extensive health screening of their queens & studs. One can't go wrong getting a Nacoonzi/Oregon Maine Coon! read more

Three years ago, upon retirement, I decided to finally fulfill my longtime wish for a Maine Coon cat. I searched the area of Washington and Oregon for the best breeder. After contacting Nacoonzi I visited and was introduced to my.prospective new roommate. Patty and John go way beyond what you would expect to find from a breeder. This is not a kitten factory. It is an environment that socializes the healthy kittens to the greatest extent before they are released to adoptive parents. They take pride in providing the healthiest and most socialized Maine Coon Kittens anywhere. I now have three of their kittens. I don't even know the names of other breeders. I don't need to. Nacoonzi is the best. Thank you Patty and John. read more

I can't say enough about this cattery and the owners Patty and John. Unlike most breeders the relationship doesn't end when the cats leave the cattery but continues for as long as you need them. I have two beautiful healthy Maine Coons from this cattery and I have relied on Patty and John for ongoing advice and support on a regular basis. They go above and beyond what would be expected of a breeder and I am grateful for the relationship with them as well as the beautiful kittens they brought into my family. If you are considering getting a Maine Coon cat or kitten, this is the place. I can't imagine going anywhere else. read more

I cannot possibly say enough positive things about John and Patty. We have three of her cats, and couldn't be happier. The cats are calm and well adjusted to people. They are healthy and Patty and John do extensive testing of parents and kittens before any sale. Patty has always been there over the years to support her cats in their new homes. She is deeply interested in the cats' well being and is a seemingly endless source of support and information. If you are looking for a good responsible Breeder from which to buy a Maine Coon, you could not possibly do better than John and Patty! read more

We got our kitten from Patty and John 2 1/2 years ago, and we couldn't be happier. Our kitten was presented to us clean, healthy and well-socialized. They care deeply about their breeders and kittens and have the upmost integrity. They run tests and do echocardiograms on their breeders to ensure they are healthy before creating kittens. Patty and John go above and beyond, and are truly top tier at what they do. On top of all this, they give you lifetime support if you have any questions concerning your cat. Get on their waitlist, you won't find a better place to get your Maine Coon. read more

this was my first time purchasing a pure breed cat and Patti and John have made the experience wonderful. Cinder is an amazing beautiful cat that I got when she was four months old. she just loves us and our dogs and we love her too. Patti even helped us when my daughters cat was pregnant and having kittens, Patti came over to our house and assisted in the birth. their home is dedicated to the cats so much that they have catios everywhere and the cats all get along and can move around the house. they are healthy and happy and they're responsible breeders. I highly recommend. read more

My husband and I went to meet our two fur babies at John and Patty's home. We spent four hours touring their cattery/home. It didn't take long to realize that John and Patty are passionate about what they do. The kittens are raised in a loving environment where they are socialized from the moment they can walk. The kittens are all healthy, playful and loving. I highly recommend Maine Coon Kittens of Nacoonzi if you are looking for a very special Maine Coon kitten! Below is pictures that were taken during our visit. Notice the perma-grin on our faces?! read more

I am buying a retired breeder from John and Patty and they are keeping him for a month post neuter to prepare him for being our beautiful house pet. what breeder does that! their cats are so gorgeous and healthy, have had thorough testing and are raised in their home so are well socialized. John and Patty are professional, honest and open and follow up with families as long as wanted. I checked out other breeders and chose Nacoonzi because of all of the above - and their superior Maine Coons. I have highly recommended them to my friends and family. read more

Patty and John breed the most amazing animals. The Nacoonzi cattery within the family home allows the kittens mostly free range and kittens and their moms cavort day in, day out. The communal living appears to socialize these felines to cats and people alike. Those of us on the kitten list get to see frequent photos and have an occasional visit as we wait for the kittens to be ready to come home with us. I have two cats from Nacoonzi, a year apart in age. They are loving, energetic, playful cats. It is hard not to get a third...and a fourth. read more

All of your fur babies become part of the Nacoonzi family! In addition they have a summer BBQ and Christmas party every year for you, your hooman, and fur family!!!!! read more
