How to choose a responsible Maine Coon or Devon Rex cattery

The dream of a purebred cat begins not with choosing a coat pattern or eye color, but with selecting a responsible cattery.

How to Choose a Responsible Maine Coon or Devon Rex Cattery

Choosing a kitten is about much more than appearance.

It directly affects your kitten's health, temperament, socialization, and the wonderful life you will share together.

Unfortunately, many kittens today are offered without official registration, proper documentation, veterinary care, or responsible breeding practices. Before making your decision, here are several important things to consider.

1. Official Cattery Registration

A responsible cattery is officially registered with an international feline organization.

Just Magic is registered with WCF (World Cat Federation), which means every kitten receives an official pedigree confirming its lineage and authenticity.

2. Kitten Documentation

When bringing your kitten home, you should receive:

  • Official WCF pedigree
  • Veterinary passport
  • Age-appropriate vaccinations
  • Parasite prevention treatments
  • Purchase contract (if required)

These documents are much more than paperwork—they confirm your kitten's health, origin, and responsible breeding.

3. Genetically Tested Parents

Responsible breeders never include cats in their breeding program without proper health screening.

At Just Magic, we carefully select genetically tested breeding cats to reduce the risk of hereditary diseases while preserving the outstanding qualities of both Maine Coon and Devon Rex breeds.

4. Living Conditions

Kittens should grow up in a loving home—not in cages.

A home environment helps shape their personality and confidence.

Our kittens are:

  • Well socialized
  • Comfortable around people
  • Accustomed to everyday household sounds
  • Playful
  • Affectionate
  • Fully prepared for life with their new family

5. Veterinary Care

Every kitten receives a complete veterinary examination before joining its new family.

Each kitten leaves our cattery healthy, vaccinated according to age, and accompanied by care recommendations to help ensure a smooth transition into its new home.

6. The Right Age to Go Home

Responsible breeders never separate kittens from their mother too early.

At Just Magic, our kittens usually join their new families at around 4 months of age.

By that time they have:

  • Completed their vaccinations
  • Been fully socialized
  • Learned important behaviors from their mother
  • Become emotionally and physically ready for independent life

7. Lifetime Support

Our responsibility doesn't end when a kitten leaves the cattery.

We stay in touch with every family and are always happy to help with questions about nutrition, adaptation, grooming, health, and daily care.

Watching our kittens grow up in loving homes around the world is one of the greatest rewards of our work.

8. International Experience

Over the years, Just Magic kittens have successfully joined families in many countries around the world.

We arrange safe transportation throughout Ukraine, Europe, the United States, and Canada, supporting future owners throughout the entire relocation process.
