Welcome to the website of Maine Coon Cattery Gigas Mitis!

Gigas Mitis is a small cattery located in Almere, The Netherlands. Gigas Mitis is Latin and means gentle giant, and I can't think of a better description for this wonderful breed!

After being surrounded by cats my whole life, on the internet I stumbled upon the planning of a cattery in Friesland with 2 beautiful red Coons. Out of this combination, a litter of three was born of which Kyran and Ko-Ko ended up living with me.

This was also the moment I got infected with the famous "Maine Coon Virus"... And it's true, once you own a Coon, you'll want to have another one, and another one, and ... Luckily there’s enough space in and around the house, and in my heart, for yet another addition to the Coon family :-)

I have always had a predilection for red cats, although nowadays I'm learning to appreciate the diluted and silver coats as well. Breeding with torties makes for very colourful litters.

When Quanta came she most definitely stood out from all the reds, great to watch though! Nowadays already 5 of those "painting" live with Gigas Mitis! With the arrival of Magic and Wynona, my wish list was again partly completed (Silver / Smoke), but I'm sure I will get greedy once more very soon, not in the least because in every litter born you have that very special kitten :-)

Additions to the "catfamily" were made by Colorado Kid from my first litter, Painted Desert from the second and Vanilla Orchid from the third.

I would like to describe Gigas Mitis as: small, primarily aiming for health and character, but surely not losing sight of the (show) standard. We strive to breed kittens that bring as much joy to their new owners for a lifetime as they do bring us for the first 13 weeks of their lives! All cats used in our breeding program are tested for (and found in good health): FiV/FeLV, PL, HCM, PKD and SMA.

Please feel free to take a look at this site and leave a message in my guestbook, or send an email to info@gigasmitis.nl

Enjoy!
