Mabalakat Baggins. Baggins was the sole survivor of a litter that all were born dead, or died shortly after. His father is Titus, mother was Macey, who really wasnt cut out to be a mother, sadly. Totally hand raised, he now lives with one of the litter he grew up with in Milton Keynes with Tom.

Mabalakat Squibnocket. Cream smoke and white. We rarely produce blues or creams lately, as George doesnt carry the dilute gene. Squibs was a real character and it was hard to let him go, but he lives as a much loved pet in Milton Keynes.

TICA RW and SUPREME GRAND CHAMPION ALTER MABALAKAT WOLFMAN JACK

Jack is the brother to our previous stud boy, Titus.  He was neutered because he is heterozygous for the HCM gene, whilst his brother was negative.  A massive silver classic tabby with white, Jack is a lovely gentle boy, who is a much loved family pet – I knew the minute he was born that he would be staying with us!

Our current stud boy is GCCF UK & IMP GR CH ALISIKA CITY-SLICKER ("GEORGIE")

Georgie is from my friend Ali Blades of Alisika Maine Coons.  He is a gentle, chunky, red classic tabby and white boy.  Currently about to resume the Olympian Certificate trail after a huge autumn moult which saw him take a few months out.  Now regrown, and back in his glory, as well as entertaining the ladies, he is coming back out once again onto the show bench.

George is a friendly and gentle lad, whose kittens all take after him in his wonderful temperament.  Everyone who meets him comments upon his laidback nature, as he lolls in my lap greeting his adoring public!

George was best adult in show at the MCCC in 2014.

Up and coming boys: The best of Titus and George combined......

We have kept back two boys from George and Poppy’s last year’s litter.  These two lads are now 10 months old, and will hopefully have their first kittens early next year.

Jesse is a massive black smoke and white, and is almost identical to his mum, with her wonderful well defined smoke colouration and white markings.  He is incredibly gentle and loving, and we were thrilled when he was BIS Kitten at the Maine Coon Breed Society Show in October.

Walter is a classic brown tabby with white, and again is a large, gentle boy.  He has lovely markings, and although not quite as big as his brother, still promises to be a large boy, with his Grandfather’s length of body.

TICA double RW and QGC/GCCF Imp Gr Ch Spirritz Tartan Trembler

“Remy” is out of Ch Mabalakat Kaleidoscope, owned by our friends Sharon and Mike Casey of Spirritz Maine Coons, in Scotland.  Remy, despite her fierce appearance, is a huge, gentle girl with bright tortie colouration set off by white bib, tummy, and paws.  She is due to be retired soon, and will be staying with us as we would miss her hugely if she left.  She currently has 4 of the 5 certificates she will need in order to achieve the status of Olympian Grand Champion with GCCF, and has one of the 2 UK Grands (only awarded once a year at the Supreme show) in order to become a UK Grand as well. She achieved her double Regional Wins for TICA in the same year, gaining one as a kitten and one as an adult!
