These girls are available!

  • March 15, 2026

Paisley and Plaid (from the Fabric Pattern Litter born 12/16/25) and Connie (from the Rhymes with Bonnie Litter born 9/25/25) are available!

Now, we know that lots of people favor Maine Coon boys because of their size, but there are a lot of advantages to girls. The biggest one is that, in our experience, they are more apt to pick a single person as “their person” and bond with them closely, where the boys are just generally friendly. The girls are definitely outgoing, but they definitely have a tendency to pick a favorite person, and you’ll know who it is.

Maine Coon girls are about a third smaller than boys. While they are still impressively large compared to other cats, they are a little easier on your back, chest, or wherever they decide to lay on you.

Like all of Hollywood’s kittens, Paisley and Plaid were a little slow to socialize at first, but now just hang out on the couch with us, play with the other cats and kittens, and come running for food without hesitation.

Connie is just a love. The only reason she hasn’t been placed yet is that we became preoccupied with human health issues and the new kittens. And frankly, she’s so sweet that we didn’t mind having her around a little longer.

If you are interested in filling out an application, please email atlastcats@gmail.com and tell us a bit about yourself, your family, and your pets (past or present).

We sense… a pattern

  • February 8, 2026

Hollywood gave birth to five kittens on December 16th, 2025. All of them mastered solid food and the litter box with surprising ease.  They are clever and fast on their feet, which made them oh-so-much-fun to capture for photos.

Charli, the father, is oblivious. When we told him the good new he simply sat on my lap and asked for more chin skritches.

Marie loves fabric and sewing, so we named this litter after different fabric patterns.

Plaid (girl)- available

Fun with Sally, Dick, and Jane

  • January 25, 2026

Sweet Pea gave birth to three kittens on  December 7th, 2025. Mycroft, the father, publicly denies responsibility, but we did overhear him bragging to the other boys about his “prodigious swimmers.” Make of that what you will.

The kittens are doing well. They are very active and quickly mastered the litter box with minimal “thinking outside the box.”  They are very curious and run to greet us when we enter their room, often climbing up our legs (Tiny claws, ow ow ow!). There have been a few attempted escapes from their quarantine (they don’t meet the other cats in the house until after their first vaccinations), but were easily apprehended.

We named them Sally, Dick, and Jane because we already did a Jack, Janet, and Chrissy litter in 2018, and that was the next “two girls and a boy ” thing we thought of.

All of these kittens have been reserved

Sally (girl) – available

Dick (boy)  – reserved

Jane (girl) – avaiable

Rhymes with “Bonnie”

  • November 17, 2025

Bonaventure (aka Bonnie) gave birth to four beautiful kittens on September 25, 2025. This is her first litter and she turned out to be an excellent and attentive mother.

Mycroft (aka Mikey), the father, had nothing to say about the matter, though when pressed he did give a knowing smile that seemed to say, “Yep, I still got it!”

The kittens have transitioned to solid food and have mastered the litter box, and will be ready to meet people in a few weeks! They are very interested in people (okay, us) and will chase after our feet if we’re just passing through their room. (At this age you kind of have to shuffle by them, because they WILL get under your feet if you’re not careful).

If you are interested in filling out an application, please email atlastcats@gmail.com and tell us a bit about yourself, your family, and your pets (past or present). Our applications have a lot of questions so we try to do a bit of screening to make sure we’re a good fit before we put you through all of that work. (And us, too. They take a long time to review!)

None of these kittens are reserved.

Longus and Brevis are available!

  • November 9, 2025

Two kittens from Shirley and Mycroft’s litter are available!

Longus is a solid black boy with a darling personality. He is very much a lap cat, and if he really likes you he will chew on your toes. (Don’t let the lighting in the picture fool you into thinking he’s chocolate — in person he is black with a sprinkle of silver guard hairs down his back and on his chin. Update: Longus has been reserved!

Longus (boy)

Brevis is a brown classic tabby girl. She is also a lap cat and readily purrs when a new person she just met pets her.

Brevbis (girl)

If you are interested in filling out an application, please email atlastcats@gmail.com and tell us a bit about yourself, your family, and your pets (past or present).

Let’s give these kittens a hand (thumbs up emoji)

  • September 23, 2025

Just relaxing

Shirley gave birth to six beautiful kittens on July 10th, 2025.  Mycroft, is confused by this whole “birds and bees” thing and has moved on to his next romantic conquest.

If you are interested in filling out an application, please email atlastcats@gmail.com and tell us a bit about yourself, your family, and your pets (past or present). Our applications have a lot of questions so we try to do a bit of screening to make sure we’re a good fit before we put you through all of that work. (And us, too. They take a long time to review!)

(Skip the next few paragraphs if you just want to see kitten pictures).

We named these kittens after tendons in the hand, because we’ve had some crazy drama around that recently. In late July, we were washing one of our adult girls (not her first time) who emphatically told us she did NOT want to go to a cat show by biting Marie on the wrist.

Now, we’ve been bitten plenty of times before, but this one was, “just right.” The next day Marie’s hand and wrist were so painful she could barely move them. We went off to Urgent Care, where she was diagnosed with an infection and prescribed the oral antibiotic that 99% of the time is the right one for cat bites.

A few days later there was no improvement, so we went to our regular doctor, who told Marie to go to the Emergency Room, do not pass GO, do not collect $200. Marie was admitted and stayed in the hospital for two days on intravenous antibiotics.

As the healing progressed, Marie found that she could not move her thumb into a full thumbs up. The orthopedic surgeon determined that a  tendon had been severed, either by the bite or the infection, and surgery was scheduled ASAP.

Surgery went well, but the healing process means keeping the thumb immobile with Marie’s hand and wrist in a cast for a month. Then will follow months of physical therapy before Marie can return to full function knitting, crocheting, and other yarn-based activities.

Oh, did I mention that Marie is right handed and that the bite was on her right hand?

Yeah, it’s been a time.

Anyway, here are kitten pictures!

Four of these kittens are reserved, but we don’t know which ones yet.

Pixel has retired and is available

  • June 30, 2025

Pixel

Pixel retired from making babies, got spayed, and now is looking for a new forever home. She is six and a half years old. She can be very sweet and we’d love to keep her, but things would get too crowded if she stayed.

Pixel is very much the lap cat, and she will spend hours there if you let her. She generally gets along with other cats, but in larger groups of cats she can get stressed out and  be a bit of a bully, so we ideally her new home will have only one or two other cats.

If you are interested in filling out an application for Pixel, please email atlastcats@gmail.com and tell us a bit about yourself, your family, and your pets (past or present). Our applications have a lot of questions so we try to do a bit of screening to make sure we’re a good fit before we put you through all of that work. (And us, too. They take a long time to review!)

Powerful you have become, the cute side I sense in you.

  • March 30, 2025

Pixel had three lovely kittens on January 3rd, 2025. As usual, Logan, the father, is denying responsibility, but we know better. The two boys are reserved, and the girl is being kept to replace Pixel when she retires.

If you’re wondering why it has taken us so long to post about this litter, well, there was some drama along the way and we’re only now getting around to updating the website.

A few weeks after delivery, Pixel developed a mastitis infection in one of her nipples and had a high temperature. The vet tried the normal antibiotics but they didn’t do the trick, so we had to take her to the emergency vet to stay for a couple of nights to get stronger antibiotics, regular infusions of fluid, and so on.

Pixel recovered, but while she was away we had to bottle feed her kittens every four hours, which meant setting alarms for the middle of the night to stay on schedule. When Pixel came home she had to be kept in a different room than the kittens for two weeks, because the antibiotics in her system might be transferred to the kittens through her milk, affecting their development. So it was a rough couple of weeks.

However, along the way, we captured this video of how the kittens would wiggle their ears while they ate. We thought they looked like Yoda, so we named them after three members of Yoda’s species that have been seen in Star Wars movies or TV shows.

Anyway, here they are!

Yaddle (girl) we’re keeping her

Hello, ladies!

  • December 29, 2024

It’s been a little crazy around here with two litters of kittens running around and getting ready to go to their forever homes (cuteness overload!), so we’ve been remiss in introducing you to two new girls who we hope will be great future mothers.

Bonaventure

First up is Bonaventure (we call her Bonnie for short) , who comes to us from GGlegacy Maine Coons. Bonnie is a sweet girl who just might be the dictionary definition of “love muffin.” She loves to be near or on us, and is not afraid of using her voice to let us know that she wants attention and/or food.

Bonnie accompanied Shirley (see below) to her first cat show and was nonplussed by the experience. She was too young to actually participate, but was content to hang out with Shirley in the benching area and took the crowds and the noise in stride.

Shirley

We also would like to introduce you to Shirley. She is Queen Sarah Saturday’s daughter from our Laverne & Shirley litter.  Shirley is laid back and affectionate. She can be independent, but when she comes around to sit on your lap, Shirley is ready for some serious head/chin/belly rubs.

Shirley went to her first cat show as a kitten, earned a few finals, and received some nice comments about her potential from the judges. She took to the process of showing and being handled by the judges very well, and by the end of the show she was playing with the judge’s toys and showing off her conformation like a pro.

Hooray for Hollywood

  • November 3, 2024

Hollywood (aka Holly) gave birth to six kittens on October 1st, 2024. They are all doing well and are just figuring out solid food and the litter box.  Charlie, the father, is claiming that he waived all parental rights when he became a sperm donor, but we don’t believe him.

This is Holly’s first litter and while she was confused at first, she has turned out to be a very dedicated and attentive mama. Her only real problem was she didn’t understand that she needed to toilet the kittens by licking their butts to make them pee and poop (I know, eww). We were having to do this ourselves a few times a day by rubbing their butts with a moist tissue (again, eww), when another breeder suggested putting a bit of butter on their privates to encourage Holly to do her job. Sure enough, after a few days of “butter butts,” Holly got the hang of it.

This may not be the weirdest thing we have ever done as breeders, but it comes close.

Anyway, since this is Hollywood’s first litter, we thought it only fitting to give her kittens temporary names inspired by Hollywood stars.

All of these kittens are reserved.
