Kilkenny Kats is more than a cattery—it’s the culmination of a lifelong passion for exceptional animals. Founded by Tracy Maher, our journey began in the world of sport horse breeding, competing and breeding, training, competing. Akitas, and Greyhound breeding in Ireland, where we dedicated years to nurturing champions and ensuring their safe passage across the globe. As a Top 20 breeder, we built a legacy in the National Award-winning sport horse community, but our greatest joy has always been the connections we’ve made with fellow animal lovers.

Now, that same dedication extends to our beloved Maine Coons and Exotic Shorthair cats. Our foundation cats are imported and from Grand Champion European stock. Raised in our warm and loving homestead, our kittens are more than just pets—they are family. Here, they grow up alongside our loyal Anatolian Shepherds, gentle horses, and a lively barnyard of ducks and chickens, ensuring they are well-socialized, confident, and full of personality.

At Kilkenny Kats, we take pride in breeding Maine Coons that embody beauty, health, and temperament. Whether you’re looking for a stunning show-quality cat or a loving companion, we are committed to matching each kitten with the perfect home.

🐾 We invite you to be part of our journey. Whether you’re welcoming a Kilkenny Kats Maine Coon or Exotic Shorthair into your family or simply sharing in our love for these magnificent felines, our doors—and our hearts—are always open.
