Look no further for your next fur, baby. I searched cattery's for close to one year before choosing Renee, Zen Cattery. The upbringing of her kittens was exactly what I was looking for.rnRenee is wonderful in every way. She kept me updated with photos of Sasha until we were able to bring her home.rnRenee spent a lot of time answering all kinds of questions I had. I was never a bother to her, and she answered all my calls and texts promptly.rnrnSasha, our six month old kitten, is spectacular in every way. The extra time she spent with her mom taught her socializing skills, love, and vital nutrients all kittens need . Sasha is very respectful of our senior cats. She adjusted to her new home within hours. She's a wild woman when she plays, but it is also the most loving animal we've ever had. I'm waiting for a few months until we're getting her a new playmate.rnThis was a loving family affair for everyone involved.

RaNae does an absolutely amazing job at raising well socialized, loving kittens. rnrnMy experience has always been that kittens go home at 8 weeks and RaNae does make you wait until at least 12 weeks, but it's absolutely worth it. rnrnFully confident, curious kittens already well trained and without a lot of the food jealousy and potty issues. We adopted two at the same time and within a week they have befriended our dogs and feel like they have always been part of our family.rnrnShe sends tons of pictures and videos so you can watch your kittens grow and she is always willing to answer questions/concerns. Once the kittens go home she checks in the first few weeks to make sure all is going well. It's apparent that the health and wellbeing of the kittens is most important to her. rnrnMy parents were so impressed with our new kittens personalities that they are considering getting kittens from RaNae. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and Zen Cattery.

Our Citana is doing great! She’s an amazing girl! Loves her car rides and walks! I don’t think any improvement is needed and everything worked great when I was getting her! I can’t wait to get another fur baby from here

Woody & I had the good fortune to get a Maine coon kitten, (firecracker now Loki )rnFrom Zen Cattery in Lewiston Idaho . My daughter’s son Go-kart races and met RaNae owner of Zen Cattery at the races… my daughter told us about meeting up & going into travel trailer with RaNae’s Maine coon cats & kittens , sent us pics and we were sold on buying a kitten from them ! The love they give these kittens is fantastic , our Loki head butts us & our 2 golden retrievers .. they keep the kittens till 3 months old ,which seem long but now we know it was worth the wait . Loki has bought us smiles again after we lost our April (15yrs old) this spring. Reserving & deposit and process was easy with Zen rnThank you so much

We got our sweet boy Midas from ZenCattery in July 2024. The whole experience started 6 months prior to bringing him home. With this being our first pet from a breeder I had so many questions. They were so friendly and helpful the entire time. I always felt updated and supported. When choosing our kitten it was a very easy process and we got the one we wanted. It all worked out great! We’ve had Midas home for 3 months and he’s been amazing. No health issues and the transition into our family was smooth. ZenCattery is still part of our life and we communicate pretty regularly with updates on how he’s doing. I would recommend anyone looking for Maine coon kitten to contact ZenCattery for a simple, smooth, and amazing experience!

I just wanted to say that I absolutely loved the trial for insurance. Both the registered paperwork and insurance paperwork were straightforward, and I really appreciated that you were able to meet me in Boise for the pick-up—it made everything so convenient. The blanket and snacks were such thoughtful touches, too. Atticus has been with me for almost a year now, and he’s settled in wonderfully with my two ragdolls and dog. I’ll definitely be returning as a customer and highly recommend ZenCattery to others! Thank you again for the great experience!

My babies are doing so good!! Banxzy now sits and licks Quill and they play together. She is just the sweetest little thing! Banxzy is starting to come around like normal after learning he had to share the lap of his favorite human and that she wasn’t going away haha. I have had an amazing experience each time I’ve gotten to work with you guys. These big kitties could definitely have me graduating into the “crazy cat lady” phase of life, and here’s the deal, I’ve never been a huge cat fan till these guys. They’re just DIFFERENT haha! I could have one in every color haha. THANK YOU!! ????

7 days ago we got Phoebe. Renee did an great job getting her ready for us. Through the years we have raised several different breeds. Siamese, Manx (Pixiebob), (very aggressive breed). cross siamese/ manx. And a couple of big mix breeds, most all polydactyls Not being able to get our cat from Renee until 12 weeks was hard, have gotten all our others at about 8. But I have to give kudos to Ranee. Our Phoebe was not only litter trained but also very gentle with not biting and able to feed with out any aggressive behavior at the bowl. Just to mention a couple of things Sooooo many little things that new kittens need to be taught were already trained in to our Phoebe. She and our Mini Ausie "Stella" already get along great. Stella bringing her and sharing her little stuffed toys. But I digress. I just have to say it is obvious to us that Renee@ Zen Cattery spends the time needed to prepare her babies for their "forever family" I would highly recommend Zen Cattery for your next family member.
