Feathercoons: Premier Maine Coon Breeder in New York
Stunning Maine Coons Located In New York
About Feathercoons
Our Story
Feathercoons was thoughtfully developed through extensive research and careful selection of breeding cats from respected programs around the world. This work is deeply personal to me.
My name is Gabi Villegas, and my appreciation for Maine Coons began long before Feathercoons existed.
I was raised in Germany near a small farm close to the Black Forest, where my connection to animals and nature took root early on. That upbringing not only shaped my love for animals, but also my strong ties to Europe, an influence that continues to guide my breeding philosophy today.
Within the Maine Coon breed, I am drawn to European-influenced lines that reflect strength and character. I devote an extraordinary amount of time to sourcing truly exceptional cats worldwide-studying pedigrees in-depth and prioritizing health, longevity, and lasting beauty above all else.
Every cat in my program is chosen with care, and every pairing is made with intention. Feathercoons is not about trends or numbers, but about raising exceptional cats who are absolutely stunning, healthy, and well-suited to life as cherished members of the family.
Our Philosophy
At Feathercoons, we believe in responsible breeding practices that prioritize the health and well-being of our cats as well as our precious kittens.
Did you know that Maine Coons are prone to certain diseases and conditions? Responsible breeding means understanding these risks and making informed, proactive decisions to minimize them. Depending on age, breeding plans, and lineage this may include echocardiograms done by a veterinary cardiologist, full panel DNA for over 40 diseases and conditions, fecal and upper respiratory PCRs, hip X-rays, and kidney screening.
This is our commitment to this amazing breed but also our commitment to you, to ensure we are doing as much as we can to bring you only the best.
Our Facilities
We are located in Wappingers Falls, New York (in the Beautiful Hudson Valley, only 2 hours north of NYC!). Our “facilities” is really just our small in-home cattery that is designed to provide the best possible environment for our cats and kittens .
We have spacious areas with plenty of cat trees, lots of human interaction, and a big loving Bernese Mountain Dog to help socialize your new fur family member. Mothers and babies are always separated in their own comfortable areas within our living room. This ensures the kittens are hearing and seeing every day life and coming home to you as sociable and “bomb proof” as possible.
