FEATHER HILL MAINE COONS

About Us

LOVE AFFAIR

Genetics and Testing

We began our love affair with MAINE COONS with a mix breed rescue named Cash. He was a Maine Coon /Siberian cross that had fallen into a bad breeder situation as a 4 month old kitten. We were fosters and rescuers working with several organizations at that time, offering our farm as a safe haven while loving homes were found. During those years we worked with both domestic pet and equine rescues. When Cash came, he never left, and our hearts were forever changed. Little did we know at that time that we would embark on a four year journey of research, and education of every genetic detail and ancestry of the breed, or that it would lead us to where we are today.

Our cattery name " FEATHER HILL MAINE COONS" lends to our farms name, Feather Hill Farm. My background is avian genetics and breeding. Now retired from birds, but with a solid reputation and internationally recognized for our line of Croad Langshan, a rare breed of poultry, we look forward to spending the next segment of our life with our wonderful MAINE COONS!

We are a proud TICA Code Of Ethics registered cattery. We are located on 44 beautiful acres in the hills of Southeast Ohio. Our beloved Maine Coons live directly with us, in our home, enjoying every advantage that these Gentle Feline Giants deserve.

Genetics and Testing

A lot goes into which cats can and or should be bred. Just because a cat can be bred, doesn't mean it should.

Our breeding cats are tested for hereditary disorders including but not limited to HCM, PKD SMA and PK. We conduct hip x-rays, and annual echocardiograms, along with the DNA testing.
