01

Where it began

A lifelong love,
now a family calling.

At Hidden Gem Maine Coons, our story begins with a lifelong love of cats.

Growing up, Dr. Meredith Lanier spent countless hours playing with her childhood cat, forming the kind of bond that stays with you for a lifetime. Today, that love has grown into something our entire family shares.

Our guiding philosophy

Health first.
Conformation second.
Temperament third.

Every breeding decision begins with the health and future of the Maine Coon breed.

01

Health

Comprehensive DNA testing, OFA screening, and annual cardiac echocardiograms.

02

Structure

Thoughtfully selected for sound structure and breed-standard conformation.

03

Temperament

Raised to become confident, loving companions who feel at home in family life.

Raised at home

Family is the heart.

Our cats and kittens are raised alongside our two young sons—surrounded by everyday family life, handled with care, and given every opportunity to grow into well-socialized companions.

“More than beautiful cats—cherished members of their families.”
