We live on a small farm with my mom and children. We are mostly home so we are always there for our cats and kittens to provide them with the best care possible. Our family all passionate about Maine Coon cats and especially kittens, we all work tirelessly to provide the best for our cats and kittens. Their socialization, health, and their overall well-being is our primary concerns, we want our kittens to become winners in the show hall or beloved family members ideally both.

About the Maine Coon
The Maine Coon is a beautiful and loving cat that you will treasure having in your life.
Social by nature, they make excellent companions for large, active families of all ages that also enjoy having dogs and other animals, including other cats.
Despite their size, Maine coons are among the gentlest of cats and tend to follow their people room-to-room as constant companions, if not always lap cats.
While sometimes playful, Maine Coon antics are good-natured and easily forgiven by adoring owners.
