Our Family of Maine Coon Cats
Here you can see photos taken over time of all our Maine Coon cats. Each one of our cats belong to someone in our family. We began with just inquiring about one cat and it soon turned into an irresistible small group of Maine Coon cats. We wouldn't have it any other way now!
Photos below are posted in order of which cat we purchased first. Pawzilla was of course the first and favorite.

Meet our Quasar Shiny King - aka "Pawzilla" (retired)
Pawzilla is a red polydactyl big boy. The moment he arrived in the United States and my hubby set eyes on him, he claimed him as his own. This boy is everyones favorite that has ever met him. We didn't choose our cats for size but the size always grabs so much attention. This cat got his name for his big paws obviously but his personality is just so amazing that everyone one loves him dearly.
Pawzilla is now retired. We have kept one of his daughters (Bubble Guppie).

Quasar Yoko Ono - aka "Sashimi"
Sashimi is Rory's cat. She is a gorgeous polydactytl tortie girl. Sashimi didn't have her first litter until 2023 because she came to us from Russia with an ear infection. After a year of battling many different bacterias that the vet could not get her over, she went to the specialist at University of Illinois Veterinarian teaching school and had ear surgery (on both ears). We felt so bad for her as she was always looking like she was feeling terrible and rubbing her ears on everything. She battled this badly for over a year before we finally got good results and the help that made her healthy. I don't regret for one moment that we got Sashimi. She is one of the sweetest cats you will ever meet. She has no hormonal attitude that comes with a female and I think it is due to how humble she became when she was ill. She is now a completely recovered cat who loves all her family. She is an amazing mom and finally blooming into the most beautiful Maine Coon cat!
Quasar Olivia - aka "Sushi"
Sushi is Celeste's kitty cat. Sushi was who we used to think of as the most friendly of all the girls but the longer we have had them, they are all just so amazing. One of my favorite things about Sushi is how she has blossomed into her gorgeous smokey black coat. She has grown a mane that takes a bit since they are a slow growing breed. She is so affectionate and has always passed this personality onto her offspring. She has not had many babies but those gorgeous calicos and white marked kittens are hers! She has had red, calico, black and white as well as tortie babies. She is a curious little girl that is always looking for something to be mischievous about lol.
Tuna
Tuna is our biggest girl that we almost didn't get! She is the last Maine Coon we purchased and her breeder quit speaking to us after we paid for her. There were personal reasons that we were able to overcome and get our cat and we are thrilled to have this amazing girl.
Tuna is known for having massive litters. She had 14 kittens in her first litter and then 11 kittens in another. She has had smoke, red, tortie, solid and all just as gorgeous as her! We will not be breeding Tuna again for a little while because we are giving her a rest before her last litter is produced. We hope to reproduce a clone of her to keep. She is such a gorgeous girl! We do have a smoke red poly daughter from Tuna that we did keep as well. Her name is Bubble Guppie and is still a kitten.

Bubble Guppie
Bubble Guppie is the daughter of Tuna and Pawzilla. She is a red smoke polydactyl girl. She was picked from her litter to keep and claimed by my youngest daughter Ahnika. We knew Tuna was nearing her end of breeding and going to be retired to pet only this year. We love Tuna's smoke color and her size so we decided to keep one of her babies from our early spring 2023 litter. Bubble Guppie is now a year old and going to be bred this year sometime to Yeti.
Mackerel
Our sweet Mackerel is a black smoke, non poly big girl. She was born the same day as our Bubble Guppie but not related. She came from another US Cattery out of European lines. She's our first Maine Coon we did not import and our first TICA cat. All of our cats are CFA registered (all can be dual registered though). We plan to pair Mackerel with Yeti for some beautiful high silver/smoke kittens in the near future. Look for some stunning kittens to come this summer! She has an amazing personality and so sweet. She is still coming into her coat and growing her mane but we expect awesome babies from this sweetie in the future!
Yeti
This beautiful big boy is our current king. He is a blotched/classic blue smoke tabby (as22) with a massive head! He was imported from Russia and arrived on February 12, 2024. It took him a full month to acclimate to our family and complete all of his quarantine and health testing. He is genetically clear and slowly being introduced to three of our queens. He has bred one of our girls and possibly two now. We will confirm pregnancy and post an announcement with results on our FaceBook page.
Yeti is turning into such a loving cat. We are very excited to have a new bloodline and see his kittens soon! He is a massive boy and will add such value to our breeding program. We believe he may not have been handled much prior to us purchasing him. He is learning what love is and he is reciprocating it nicely now. He loves all of our other cats! Sometimes the girls are grouchy around him and he shies away but he sure does love being part of a family now!

Stetson
Stetson is a very stunning boy. I have been eyeing his breeders offspring for some time now. Also held back on purchasing this color of cat because they are extremely expensive if you purchase them from healthy and reputable lines. His color is called chinchilla or shell (ns12). He is a black silver shell technically. They are from the shaded line but even lighter. He is what I call the creme of the crop and the most sought after color! With this comes a price and it is hefty. Stetson is in transit to our home now from Norway via a courier. We had to wait for him to be old enough to fly into the states. These are the photos we have of him so far. He is just a baby but when he is old enough to breed, we do have restrictions on selling his offspring to breeders. These are not our rules but we will not break our contract with his gracious breeder. We are so excited to get him home!
