About Us Our Maine Coon cattery is new (it's registration is in process), small and home-based. This is a family cattery because I and my husband Andrew are both real cat fanciers. Our first pedigreed cat joined our family in 1994 as soon as we have married. It was a siberian cat Boise who has been living with us during 13 years being very beautiful, intellectual and developed cat. Now we could not find a siberian cat like him. We were showing our Boise for some time, but were not involved in breeding because we are both computer and IT professionals and had to work a lot to make our living. We don't take breeding as a business or a basis of income, this is a hobby and a rather expensive hobby sometimes, but now we can afford it and have enough time for it. We have decided to start our own cattery, because we are in love with Maine Coons and feel happy being surrounded by their long flowing tails, splendid coats, grand whiskers and beautiful voices. We like to take photos of cats and show their beauty to other people. We are proud to establish the first maine coon cattery in Crimea. Our aim is to breed beautiful, healthy, large, harmonious, well-socialized maine coon cats of a best possible type with a nice personality. During last 2 years we visit cat shows when possible and try to get to know more about the breed and its standard. We have learned how to care for the cats. I study genetics and physiology of cats. I've finished 2 months felinology courses with a big program including some extracts from genetics, veterinary, grooming, cattery organisation, felinology systems, cat show rules, breed standards etc. And I keep on learning because felinology is a serious study and breeding is not just a reproduction but also special knowledges and experience. We have raised our first maine coon India under a guidance of an experienced breeder Elena Tometskaya and now we plan our first litter. We plan rare litters and don't plan many cats in our cattery, because we want to give our coonies as much attention as possible. Now we are looking for a good male kitten. We hope to show more beautiful cats at our site in the nearest future. Kind Regards! Irina
