The MajestiCoon 5-Year Health Guarantee: The Gold Standard in Ethical Maine Coon Breeding
❓Why Our Guarantee Sets the Benchmark for Maine Coon Health
When investing in a Maine Coon kitten, you are committing to a companion for over a decade. The most critical factor in this decision is long-term health assurance. At Florida Maine Coons, we stand firmly behind the superior health and genetic integrity of our lineage, which is why we proudly offer an industry-leading5-Year Health Guarantee.
This commitment is more than a simple warranty; it is a direct reflection of nearly five decades of meticulous, responsible breeding under the MajestiCoon bloodline. While many reputable catteries offer a standard one or two-year guarantee, our five-year assurance provides unprecedented peace of mind, confirming our confidence in the genetic soundness of every kitten we place. We stand behind our guarantee.
🔬 The Foundation: 45 + Years of Clean Genetic Data
Our ability to offer a 5-year guarantee is not based on hope—it is based on proven history.
The MajestiCoon bloodline, which forms the core of our program, has been rigorously cultivated for over 45 years. This decades-long commitment to health means we have vast, clean genetic data, allowing us to identify and selectively breed cats free from common hereditary diseases. We don't just screen the parents; we track the health outcomes of ancestors and offspring across generations.
Research our Bloodlines on PawPeds. This is where Ethical Breeders work through pedigrees and test matings. We currently have 65 Cats registered, going back as early as 1996. You can see some pictures of our cats going back many years here.
MajestiCoon Kittens are the true Authentic Maine Coon Kittens.
Targeted Genetic Screening: What We Test For
Every breeding cat in our "preservation program" undergoes extensive, non-negotiable health testing to ensure the elimination of the most critical genetic risks in the Maine Coon breed:
- Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM): The most common heart disease in cats. Our comprehensive testing protocol includes not only DNA screening but also regular cardiac echocardiograms by a board-certified veterinary cardiologist. WE work closely with our Primary Veterinarian to determine needs.
- Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA): A debilitating neurological condition that causes muscle weakness and atrophy. Our lines are DNA clear.
- Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency (PKDef): A genetic blood disorder that leads to anemia. Our lines are DNA clear.
- FeLV/FIV: All our adult breeding cats are screened and maintained as negative for Feline Leukemia Virus and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus.
- Hip Evaluations
- Cardiac workups
- FIP - there is no test for FIP yet, BUT FIP is covered because we know our bloodlines.
The Result: By ensuring that both parents are free of these devastating genetic markers, we dramatically mitigate the risk of these conditions appearing in your kitten later in life, allowing us to stand behind our guarantee for five full years.

Why an Extended Guarantee is Crucial
Genetic conditions like certain forms of HCM may not manifest until a cat is three, four, or even five years old. A standard two-year guarantee expires before these symptoms appear, leaving the adopter financially and emotionally burdened.
Our 5-Year Health Guarantee covers this crucial window, providing unparalleled security and demonstrating that we take full responsibility for the genetic foundation of the kittens we produce.
🤝 The Responsibility of Ethical Breeding
To us, ethical breeding is non-negotiable. It means our kittens are never bred solely for profit, but for the preservation and improvement of the Maine Coon breed.
When you choose a Florida Maine Coon kitten, you are investing in a companion whose long-term health has been meticulously secured through:
- Selective Pairing: Only genetically tested and structurally sound cats are used in our program.
- In-Home Socialization: Kittens are raised in our home with children and dogs to ensure stable, confident, and affectionate temperaments.
- Mandatory Spay/Neuter Contract: All pet kittens are to be altered under our Spay Secure contract before TICA registration, enforcing our commitment to a closed cattery and the ethical control of our bloodlines.
The MajestiCoon 5-Year Health Guarantee is the ultimate promise of our dedication. It is our assurance that your magnificent Maine Coon will thrive as a healthy, cherished member of your family for years to come.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about the Guarantee
Q: Does the guarantee cover non-genetic issues?
A: Our guarantee specifically covers life-threatening, untreatable genetic defects that manifest within the first five years. It does not cover common, non-genetic illnesses, accidents, or neglect after the kitten has left our care. Full details are provided in our Kitten Contract.
Q: What is the process if a genetic issue is suspected?
A: In the rare event a health issue covered by the guarantee is suspected, the process is clearly outlined in our contract and requires immediate communication with us and confirmation from a board-certified veterinarian specializing in the relevant field.
Q: Do you cover FIP?
A: Yes, for 5 years, other breeders, very few, if any, but be sure to ask. FIP is very dangerous to Maine Coons.
Q: What if something does go wrong within the 5 Years, what happens?
A: As unlikely as that is, you will receive a free replacement kitten up to the value you paid.
