About Us...

We are newer to the Maine Coon breed, but long time breeders of cats with 50+ years of experience having started breeding and showing Persians at the age of 17.  Our Maine Coon Cattery was registered with TICA in 2023.

Our mission is to work with the new mutation in the Maine Coons called Phoenix, which refers to the coloring that is difficult to describe and to truly capture in pictures and video.  I fell in love with this coloring when first seeing Obama Iz Doma Yahontoff pictured on Facebook.  Early in 2025 we got to opportunity to obtain him from his original breeder in Russia and jumped at the chance.  He will have his forever home with us.  Look for his offspring on our available kittens page and feel free to contact us to talk about this mutation anytime!

We also decided to work with Shaded & Chinchilla Silvers after a friend had to abandon her breeding plans for awhile.  So we added those two she had imported and have a couple more breeding females in Shaded & Chinchilla Silver arriving soon from our breeder friend in Russia. Our goal with the Silvers is to purify the color as most Maine Coon in this color do not have a 3-5 generation pedigree of only Shaded Silver or Chinchilla Silver, so their eye color is not as green (or not even green at all) and their nose leather is black instead of the brick red (a dark pink color) outlined in black.  We will work on this to help purify our lines in order to improve eye color and the silver shading color.

We also work with polydactyl (extra toes) and dominant blue & odd eyes.  These traits will appear in the above colors, more so with the Phoenix, but some with the Silvers.  We will also create other colors when breeding with these goals in mind.
