My coons and I live in a townhouse with a large fenced garden.
In the garden is a large kennel for the male cats, the other cats run free in the yard, since it is totaly enclosed. 
I love going to shows to hear what the good aspects are of my cats and what needs to be improved. At shows, I always meet co-breeders and future kitten-buyers. To me breeding and showing Maine Cooncats is a wonderful way to spend my spare time.

I spend a lot of time studying how to manage a cattery responsibly, by reading about pedigrees, genetics, behavior, health, etc. I also like to go to the interesting meetings organized by Felikat or the RMC. I am very glad that experienced breeders are willing to share their knowledge and experiences with me. One of my points of view is that I deal with co-breeders and that we should help each other in stead of talking about each other in a negative way. I don’t waste my time on gossip!

I am very pro healthy and responsible breeding. All of my cats that are meant for breeding are tested on HCM/dna, HCM, PKD, PL, Fiv and Felv, but...a good character is just as important! All of these test are just one moment in time (except for the DNA test) but at that time I am sure that my cats have no inheritable diseases.

My kittens grow up in domestic enviroment. They are well socialized.
If needed, they will get the best medical treatment there is and they always get super premium food.

If possible new owners apply, they will be well screened. The kittens will go to their new homes with a contract in which very important issues are stated that are meant to contribute to a wonderful life with their new owners.
