Active and Retired Queens
Our Queens are the heart and soul of Ri Dearg Koons. Each one brings grace, intelligence, and the loving temperament that defines the Maine Coon breed. Our active Queens are devoted mothers who nurture their kittens with gentleness and care, passing on both beauty and personality to every litter.
We also celebrate our retired Queens — the matriarchs who have contributed so much to our cattery’s foundation. Now enjoying a well-deserved life of rest and pampering, they remain forever cherished members of the Ri Dearg Koons family.
Active Queens
Ri Dearg Koons Cocobean
Call Name: Cocobean | Female | Smoke Tortie | Nicknames: Beans, Dino
CocoBean came from our first breeding and immediately made herself mine with her loud personality! She’s Gingee and Aoife’s daughter and loves curling up on my lap, soaking up affection like a little velvety bean.
Ri Dearg Koons CheVon
Call Name: CheVon | Female | Smoke Tortie | Nickname: ChevyChevy
CheVon is sweet but independent, loving attention on her terms. She isn’t intimidated by the big boys and immediately melts into baby mode in my lap with trills and kneads. Aloof yet affectionate, she has a strong personality all her own.
Stroppigattis Morticia of Ri Dearg Koons
Call Name: Ticea | Female | Silver Tortie
Ticea is a love bug and master of affection, always seeking cuddles and kisses. Chill yet curious, she knows her name and even breaks into the kitchen for a little exploration—her own personal kingdom.
Ri Dearg Koons Patchy
Call Name: Patchy | Female | Shell Cameo | Polydactyl
Patchy, CocoBean’s sister and Gingee & Aoife’s daughter, is full of personality. She’s a chatty conversationalist who loves to grab my face for attention. She’s quirky, affectionate, and can’t resist climbing onto my shoulder to hang out.
Retired Queens (not available)
Ri Dearg Koons Peepsi
Call Name: Peepsi | Female | Smoke Tortie Polydactyl
A shy, polite, and sweet girl from Aoife’s last litter, Peepsi always asks permission before hopping into my lap. When she plays, she mirrors her mom Aoife’s big “moving tank” energy, full of charm and playful power.
YKnot Mainecoons Aoife of Ri Dearg Koons
Call Name: Aoife | Female | Silver Tortie | Polydactyl | Nicknames: Effie Deefie, Weeefi
A retired queen, Aoife is affectionately called “Tank” by her previous breeder due to her big, graceful personality. She’s a gentle giant with a loving heart, embodying strength and warmth in equal measure.
