Welcome to Joie De Vivre Cattery
At Joie De Vivre, the health of our cats comes first.
If you're looking for a kitten to bring joy into your home, health should be your top priority too.
That’s why families choose us — again and again.
We raise our Maine Coons in a clean, loving home — with knowledge, attention, and care.
No cages. No shortcuts. Just real, solid health.
We’ll help you find the kitten that fits your heart — and if you're lucky, it may come in the color you’ve been dreaming of.
Our lines are known for their lion-like faces, large size, and rare beauty: silver shaded, red, black, blue, tortie, blue-eyed, odd-eyed, and polydactyl kittens.
We understand that budget matters. That’s why our prices are reasonable — never inflated.
Just enough to raise healthy, happy kittens the right way.
Yes, you can find cheaper kittens. But if low price is your top priority, remember: cheap kittens often come with very expensive vet bills.
If health matters to you — we’re the right cattery.

🌿We have beautiful kittens available — and these are very special litters!🌿
It’s the farewell tour of our legendary lion-faced king, Nuage.
Nuage, our famous Maine Coon with a bold lion-like muzzle — a trait passed on to his kittens — has just retired.
These are his final litters.
The mother has stunning shaded silver fur and large emerald-green eyes.
All the kittens look like little lions with silver coats and big green eyes.
If you’ve ever dreamed of having lion cubs in your home — this is your chance!
🐾 Our Kings
• Nuage — our legendary blue male with massive bone structure and a regal lion’s profile — has just completed his breeding career. But a few of his last kittens are still available.
His broad, lion-like muzzle isn’t just beautiful — it supports wide tear ducts, helping his kittens enjoy clear, healthy eyes. Every kitten he sires carries this unmistakable look.
It’s not a lucky accident — it’s the result of years of careful selection and deep experience.
• 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.
🌿 Upcoming Svetozar's Litters! 🌿
We are expecting litters in a variety of coat colors, including red, black, blue and tortoiseshells, as well as kittens with blue eyes, odd eyes, and even polydactyls!
🌿Our Waitlist Is Open🌿
We are currently accepting names for our kitten waitlist. A $100 deposit secures your place and confirms your genuine interest.Selections are made in the order deposits are received — we respect the queue and never skip the line.The price of your kitten will remain as agreed at the time of deposit, regardless of future price changes, which may increase for clients who are not on the waitlist.We encourage you to join early. We rarely have kittens available “on demand.” Most of our families reserve their kitten months in advance — and come back again for their second.🐾
