To produce healthy, happy, and beautiful Maine Coons. 

To keep quality above quantity.

To work with other breeders who have the same standards.

To actively show our cats (in TICA) as we believe showing is essential to know that our Maine Coons meet the breed standard.  Showing also provides great networking between friends & breeders.

I am a member of the TICA Maine Coon Breed section and have been elected to serve as a Breed Section Committee Member for the years 2009-2012.

I am the elected Vice President of MCBFA (Maine Coon Breeders & Fanciers Association).

If a breeding cat has a poor temperament, genetic defect, any signs of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy*^disclaimer (HCM), or hip dysplasia (HD) they will NOT be a part of our program (and instead will be spayed/neutered).

Heart & Hip screenings done PRIOR to any cat being bred for the first time & then annually for HCM via exam & echocardiogram.

Our breeding cats are all negative for the one known DNA mutation associated with Feline HCM.  This ensures we produce kittens that are ALL negative for the same mutation.

We are members of TICA's Voluntary Responsible Breeders Program.  Through this program, we follow a strict code of ethics.

To continually earn merit in TICA as an OUTSTANDING CATTERY.  Our home and breeding program have been inspected by our licensed veterinarian and earned a "perfect" score every year.

We model our program after the Code of Ethics set forth by the Maine Coon Breeders' and Fanciers' Association

All of our breedings are carefully planned, with every cat's pedigree kept in mind.  We believe that "in breeding" can result in unhealthy cats.

ALL of our cats are regularly examined and vaccinated by our vets.  We have a wonderful working relationship with our vets & their staff in.  Feel free to contact them as a reference to the care we provide our cats & the good health they are all in. 

To remain an active member/officer of a cat club.  I'm currently the Treasurer of a new club, The Natural Cat Club, a member of The Buckeye oHIo Rollers, and active member of the Great Lakes Region of TICA.

I make every attempt to keep current with the latest in feline health and breed information, as it becomes available.
