European Maine Coon Cats Imported from Italy
Our European breeding program began with the import of two exceptional Maine Coons from Imperial Family Cattery in Turin, Italy. Their breeding program is recognized for producing beautiful animals with excellent breed type, strong pedigrees, and a commitment to health and temperament. By bringing these bloodlines to Washington, we are able to offer families kittens descended from carefully selected European ancestry while continuing our own commitment to health testing, responsible breeding, and outstanding socialization.
Rapunzel is our beautiful queen from Imperial Family Cattery. She combines the classic European look with a gentle, affectionate personality. Her impressive ear furnishings, powerful muzzle, substantial bone structure, and luxurious coat represent many of the qualities enthusiasts admire in European bloodlines. In 2026, Rapunzel welcomed her very first litter consisting of one female and two males, marking an exciting milestone for our breeding program.
Summerkiss is our magnificent king from Imperial Family Cattery. He possesses the impressive size, strong profile, heavy boning, and striking expression often associated with European Maine Coons. Beyond his appearance, Summerkiss has an exceptionally friendly temperament and is a wonderful ambassador for the breed. We are excited to see his outstanding traits passed to future generations.
European Maine Coons in Washington State
Meet the proud parents of our kittens, Imperial Family Rapunzel and Imperial Family Summerkiss.
To build the foundation of our breeding program, we traveled to Turin, Italy, to personally bring home these exceptional, fully health-tested animals from Imperial Family Cattery.
Why did we choose Imperial Family? Their commitment to extensive health testing, with breeding cats evaluated over 4–5 years, aligned with our own philosophy that health comes first. They also consistently produce the large, beautiful cats with the distinctive European look we admire.

While many international breeders provide little or no health testing, that simply doesn’t meet our standards. Comprehensive health testing is never optional—it’s the foundation of our breeding program. We believe responsible breeding begins with healthy parents, giving every kitten the best possible start in life.
About the event
What is a European Maine Coon?
European Maine Coons are Maine Coons bred from European bloodlines. Many enthusiasts appreciate their prominent ear tufts, square muzzles, substantial bone structure, and impressive size. While all Maine Coons belong to the same breed, selective breeding programs in Europe have emphasized these distinctive physical characteristics.
Are your European Maine Coons imported?
Yes. Rapunzel and Summerkiss were imported directly from Imperial Family Cattery in Turin, Italy, bringing authentic European bloodlines to our Washington breeding program.
Do European Maine Coons get bigger?
Individual size depends on genetics, nutrition, and sex. Many European bloodlines are known for producing cats with substantial bone structure and impressive overall size, although every cat develops differently.
