....Cats have
been with us forever. Pretty, less pretty, with a
pedigree and without. Normally in our house, all
armchairs are occupied, fur stuck in sandwiches and
sweet purring on our laps, whenever we get a chance to
find an available spot. However, we cannot imagine our
lives to be any different.
Maine Coon
cats appeared in our home a few years ago. We were not
original- like many admirers of this breed- it was
simply our dream to have Maine Coons; great in size,
with a wild appearance and delicate character.
We fell in
love with this breed right away. Their extraordinary
beauty fascinated us, along with their temperament- we
have known many cats' personalities, so we did not
expect anything unusual. However, believe us, Maine Coon
is an exceptional cat J.
The
decision to begin a cattery was not spontaneous. We knew
that having animals brings not only pleasure but also
many responsibilities, but having a cattery increases
those obligations. This includes breeding animals,
raising them and finding loving homes, which can be a
challenge. All of our cats, regardless if they leave to
a cattery, or 'only' as a pet, we sell them with a
contract. It contains certain conditions that the future
owner has to meet, when making a decision to buy our cat.
The health
of our Maine Coons is extremely important; we consider
it as a priority. Besides routine veterinarian care, we
utilize all methods of checking the status of our cats'
health before we breed them. All of our cats are tested
for HD, PKD, FIP, FELV, echocardiogram for HCM.
Our Maine
Coons are successful in cat shows around the world;
however, we continue to strive to create them more
beautiful. We are driven by this hobby, our passion and
mainly our goal for the ideal. It seems that sometimes
the ideal is within our reach, but the reality is that
it is not attainable, because they could always be
better J. This is the basis for the enjoyment and the
reason why there is no likelihood for boredom J.
