I grew up around all kinds of different animals and have been an animal lover for my entire life.

I've always been specifically fascinated by the Maine Coon. This cat breed is, in my opinion, "the" perfect cat. And when asked by my husband what I wanted for my 50th birthday, that was exactly what I wanted. Wanting to own a pure bred Maine Coon had been a dream for so many years, it this was the perfect time to finally get one. 

We figured that with how popular the Maine Coon breed is, it wouldn't be that hard to find a quality kitten. Well, we were wrong, it is- very hard. The hardest part was sorting out the scammers, which there are unfortunately a plethora of, from the legitimate breeders. I wasn't even thinking about breeding at that time, I just wanted to find a healthy kitten from a reputable breeder. In the end, the cattery we found was, luckily, only a three hour drive away from us. In October, six months after beginning the search, we brought home a gorgeous Black Silver Classic Tabby female kitten, which I named, "Uno", who quickly made me realize that the saying, "You can't have just one", definitely applies to Maine Coon cats as well as potato chips. By the time Uno was six months old, I and remembering the experience that I went through to find my "birthday kitten", my thoughts turned to potentially becoming a breeder myself. I just knew that THIS was what I wanted to do.

 

 I have since spent my time educating myself on responsible breeding practices, cattery management, feline husbandry, and currently- feline nutrition- while sourcing the best possible breeding cats to become my foundation line.

Our cattery is located just south of central Ohio, near Circleville -home to the famous annual Pumpkin Show!
