Meet the parents
Jaeger Cats toms and queens are members of the family. Because there are so many of them, Jaeger Cat’s founder, Clair, has dedicated a small fortune to ensuring they all have comfortable lodgings, both inside and outside her home (which is, predictably, strewn with cat toys).
When it’s not their turn to share the human home, and bed (there is a roster), the cats live in a sprawling series of catteries. Each of these features custom-built climbing frames, large enough to accommodate their sizes, along with a variety of plants, water features (Maine Coons are one of the few breeds of cats that tend to enjoy water), and sleeping options for the cats to explore and enjoy.

Majestycoon Philip *HU of Jaeger Cats (IMP)
Phillip was imported from Hungary as Jaeger Cats’ original stud. He takes his job as primary stud very seriously, and he absolutely adores all the girls. Phillip saunters around with his head held high, thinking that he is God's gift to all female cats.
For a stud, Phillip is unusually affectionate and demands lots of attention. He also particularly enjoys raising his own babies, and once the kittens are old enough to play outside, we often allow Phillip to play with them. He teaches them tricks and games, and spends hours grooming and loving them – it’s really special to see a male cat assisting in raising kittens. Consequently, Phillip’s babies are generally very affectionate, like their father.
Justin
UA*GattoFantastico Justin of Jaeger Cats (IMP)
Justin is such a big muscular boy. With a muzzle that catches all our younger females attention in the cattery. Who could ever resist those big soppy eyes. A little bit shy at first, but super affectionate when he gets to know you.
Jaeger Cats Ben-Ori (Black Silver Maine Coon)
Ben is a big silver gentleman. He loves himself and chats up the girls romantically long before he gets the stud work done. Easily embarrassed he likes a bit of privacy on a date. Such a gentleman with the ladies....
Jaeger Cats – Deron (Solid blue maine coon)
Deron is totally oblivious to his huge size. In his head he is still a baby but his huge size is very deceiving.
He simply loves to snuggle on the bed at night but during the day he teases all the other cars and kittens like only a teenager can...relentlessly!
As naughty as he is he is a firm favourite of everyone!
The Mothers
HU* Sciroo's Gina Lollobrigida of Jaeger Cats (IMP)
One of the first breeding queens at Jaeger Cats, Gina was imported from Hungary at the same time as Phillip. She’s one of the largest queens in the cattery, weighing in at over 8.5 kg, which is unusual for a female. Consequently, her kittens are very popular, as many of them have grown to be exceptionally large.
Shelby Bystra *PL of Jaeger Cats (IMP)
Shelby was imported from Poland and is a mackerel tabby with magnificent ears. Weighing in at an impressive 8.5 kg, Shelby is a cat with a wild streak who is always on a mission to explore, and loves hiding in trees and bushes, a habit that has lead the humans at Jaeger cats to speculate that she may have been a leopard or a jaguar in a past life. She is definitely more of a jungle cat.
Karmen Smart Lynx *LT of Jaeger Cats (IMP)
Imported from Lithuania, Karmen has excellent Maine Coon features, is gentle and has a wonderful nature. She is an excellent mother, who raises the sweetest, most well-adjusted kittens.
Maine Emblem Bear Lace of Jaeger Cats
Lacey was the first-ever breeding mother at Jaeger Cats and is sadly now the last of her line, as all of her predecessors have passed away. Her stunning combination of striking green eyes and black silver tortoiseshell coat means that she frequently produces exceptionally beautiful babies.
Abigail of Jaeger Cats
Abigail is a most affectionate and demanding girl, easily recognisable not only because of her damaged ear (an unfortunate altercation with an electric fence) but also because she demands attention and cuddles. A trait she often passes on to her kittens.
She often passes on not only her gorgeous blue silver colouring to her kittens but also her curious, cuddly and affectionate nature. There have not yet been any reports of her passing along her obsession with the smell of shoes though!
Anushka of Jaeger Cats
Anushka took to being a mom as if it were her life’s work, and dotes on each of her kittens. Her fairytale-like black silver tortoiseshell coat and emerald eyes are enchanting, and her skill at escape artistry certainly borders on magical.
Leah of Jaeger Cats
Leah was bred by Debbie Webb form an imported mother (Bahira). Leah is unusual, as she is a female who is cream colored, a colour variation that occurs most frequently in males. Her excellent facial features also set her apart.
Raphaella of Jaeger Cats
Although she’s not technically a mother, as she regretfully had to be spayed due to medical complications, Raphaella remains part of the Jaeger Cats family and is one of Clair's spoilt babies. Jaeger Cats cattery is and will always be her home.
Ben-Ori of Jaeger Cats
The son of Gina and Zuckerburg, Ben-Ori is a black silver, and is already reaching a significant size.
Tomer of Jaeger Cats
Shayna of Jaeger Cats
Shayna is a black silver girl whose size means she will hopefully be able to produce good size silver kittens once she is old enough.
Ester of Jaeger Cats
Shelby’s daughter, Ester is a gorgeous mackerel tabby. She is affectionate, cuddly and playful, and if the nearby humans don't offer this affection willingly, she will pounce on them and demand it.
Rosana of Jaeger Cats
A dignified princess. Mild natured and very pretty. Rosanna is always immaculate and observing everything that is going on. Prefers to sit next to you rather than on top of you. A real lady with a very refined temperament.
