TICA registered cattery in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia specializing in European Maine C***s
I sent new pics of Bruce to his breeder recently and she asked about his weight...as this is a new line for her - his Mama's first litter!
And Bruce weighed in at 15.6 LBS today - just turned 9 months!! He is a chonky boy, for sure! I don't give a lot of attention to weight in my program...but it's absolutely the biggest question I get about my kitties - how much do they weigh?? I'll be interested to see his weight in another year!
We are about 2 weeks away from Luna's due date...and today I felt little feet kicking!! So excited - praying for a healthy litter for her!
Our sweet Agatha today!! Look at her huge paws!! I love the poly c***s!
New pics of Bruce to share - he is 9 months old now! He is a big, big boy already! ❤❤
Once we even mention kittens - we have so many messages about kittens - and I appreciate that!
We are going to stick with 2023 prices for Luna's litter...I do 2 health exams with our favorite vet...a 3-way SNAP panel test for FIV/FeLv/Feline Heartworm...all first year vaccinations...a spay/neuter...a Rabies Vaccination...and a microchip.
My future litters will cost a bit more because of the cost of the breeding parents and my vet bills are now ridiculous - so this will be the last time we offer this price!
We don't keep a wait list - we will offer kittens that are available after their first wellness check with our vet. Our vet will check hearts and general wellness and once we have an excellent health exam - usually at 6 weeks - we will post available kittens on this page and then ask anyone interested to send us a message.
We will give preference to kittens going together and kittens going to homes with another kitten or young cat. Just FYI - in the 6 years I have been doing this - I have never sent a kitten to a home unless there is at least one other kitty in the home.
I do not breed to sell - my goal is to show our own line from lines that I have gathered together...and when I bring in a kitten for breeding - they come from lines that have been tested for heart and hip health for generations and are registered as such on the PawPeds database for Maine C***s.
We had several baths tonight and everyone but Luna had a sanitary shaving...and afterwards I put out several bowls of their favorite treats! I don't have to use head cones or anything crazy - they don't bite or scratch - they don't love the grooming sessions but they just give me the evil eye and complain a lot!
These pics are just my Gattacamoon babies! Check out Ghost at only 10 months!! He is a huge baby and just the biggest sweetheart! Black High Smoke with Merle coloring - I just adore him!
And Luna is 5 weeks along and already showing pretty big! We are so excited about kittens! She got a pass on the bath but she still really enjoyed the treats! :)
Thanks to Zuzanna for sending new pics of our sweet boy "Hitman" - now Rory!! We had so much interest in him...and he was one of our last kittens sold! So - take a look at him now - from baby to 8 months - he's not even done growing! :)
He is just simply gorgeous!!
Happy Sunday!
I wanted to share a pic of my daughter's adorable foster kitties with you!! She brought them home as bottle babies just after surgery and I am obsessed with them! Although they have only eye between them...you would really not know it! The blind kitten does rely on her sister - but she plays with toys and tumbles and frolics with the other kitties just fine! She knows where you are in the room - it's been just amazing having them in the house!
I am so grateful to live in a community with an amazing animal shelter - the staff are all pros and really care about every animal that comes through their doors! Every kitty deserves a chance at happiness - I just wish it was like this everywhere! ❤❤
Bijou at 6 weeks...now Millie at 8 months! Thank you to Gary and Mary for sharing these pics!
Just an absolutely gorgeous girl!
So...it's been 3 weeks since Luna (Gattacamoon Uptown Girl) and Wolfgang had some romance...and I feel fairly confident that she is pregnant! We still have a few more weeks to be sure...but she is showing early signs of pregnancy...and so we are cautiously optimistic! If all of the stars align...we are hoping for a litter around August 30th!
Our next update will be when we are sure...we'll let you know when we do! The kittens would be ready to go home at 4 months just in time for Christmas...and I am already hoping for a Black Smoke girl or boy for my Christmas present to the cattery! I need a little Wolfgang before I retire him!
These two had a beautiful litter last time - and I am excited for kittens again! I'm confident enough that I have already been shopping for new kitten beds, blankets, a new rug...:)
New pics of "Phoebe" - from Luna's last litter! It is amazing how much she looks like her Mama! I knew she was going to be a stunner! :)
In the first pic - she was not enjoying the heat wave we've had in Virginia...and found some comfort laying in the sink! :)
We get a lot of messages asking about kittens and I keep saying we are planning for a fall litter...
Luna was paired with Wolfgang a week ago...we will know if this was a successful mating in a couple of weeks! If so - kittens will be ready to go home a few days before Christmas! I would love a Christmas litter!
Agatha has had her first heat at 8 months and been to the vet for PCR panel tests...she has had a very difficult first heat and so our vet has advised a mating with the next heat to avoid pyometra. Her intended mate is Ghost - who is just becoming interested in girls now...and so we'll have to see how this works out!
We'll let you know as soon as we do! I am so excited for kittens in the next year!
Agatha and her huge poly paws! I love this girl! ❤❤
Hello! So after years of being a lazy kitty groomer...I now have Bruce and Agatha - who have very fine hair that requires frequent grooming or it mats up very quickly - particularly behind the legs, in the pits, and on the belly!
So I've purchased some nice quality brushes and I just got my first order of Chubbs soaps! I brushed the kitties out today and tomorrow we'll do baths (eek!!!). I've tried to get the kitties used to monthly baths but I'll admit it's not my favorite thing - and it's definitely not their favorite! We'll do some before and after pics this week!
Luna is also in these pics - it's interesting to note that she and most of my c***s have coarser hair that never mats and does not require extensive grooming. But Bruce and Agatha...OMG!
Bruce is now 8 months - our gorgeous future king!
Wolfgang - who is father to all of our kittens so far...had his yearly health exam at 5 years and is in excellent health - and his vet even said his teeth are great (I brush them daily - so it's so nice to hear that my work is paying off...because he doesn't like it one bit and it's a daily struggle).
I used a new vet this time as she is closer to our house...and I like to get another set of eyes sometimes on the kitties...and her only complaint was that at 22 lbs. he is a bit overweight and we need to reduce calories. Wolfgang and I had a very short meeting about this after the visit and we both decided...this new vet is not a great fit for us...she has no idea what she's talking about! :)
Paris the Goofball..."I'm sorry - this seat is taken..." which has created a lot of interest in that seat...and she is enjoying that so much! :)
Happy Sunday!! Ghost (Gattacamoon I Have A Dream) catching some rays on the deck this morning!
So grateful to Andrea for sharing this boy with us - he gets prettier each day! :)
Bruce is a big, cuddly teddy bear of a kitty - everyone in the house loves to snuggle up with him for a nap...but this guy is Bruce's preferred cuddle buddy!
Kitty update! TopCatC***s Love My Life (now Phoebe)...living her best life at my brother's house! Luna's little mini - I think she's going to be just as beautiful as Luna...:)
Happy Friday!! Paris on the back deck just soaking up the sun!
Paris is the only kitty that we have held back from our litters...the white Maine C***s...still my favorite! She is the daughter of Wolfgang and Cora...hoping that we can continue this line soon!
Gattacamoon I Have a Dream (Ghost) and Paris...
"Oh sorry - what's wrong? Were those yours?" - 75 strawberry plants I had been hardening off on the back deck...they knocked them over, chewed on the leaves...and rolled around in the dirt.
Sometimes cats are assholes....what are you gonna do? Lol!
Pics of graduates I received this week - thanks to Mary and Tracie for sharing with us! :) These are babies from Cora's last litter!
Bruce!!
Agatha taking a nap with Gunther…
Kitty update! Thanks to Susan Barrett for sharing pics of the Purrfessor (Somebody to Love) with us! He is gorgeous - I just want to give him one more big smooch! :) ❤❤
Pics from today...this is "Ghost" - he is still just a baby!
Cat wheel training - just too many distractions!! Haha!
I got a message from Romeo's owners the other day...she said "Since we have another Romeo in the Top Cat Family, we have been calling him "Romeo the Elder"...and Tracie made my day with this message again!
Cora's boys were just amazing!!! :)

Twins on a hike - I just love this!!
New videos of the twins on a hike today!! I have to post them individually as Facebook won’t let me share more than one video on a post - but oh my gosh they are so adorable!!
Romeo loves a new toy! However - this week we are working on helping them adjust to their new homes by bringing them in to our living room away from Mom and their siblings for the first time... Romeo could care less about this toy dangling in his face - because he has just discovered our cats! No one told him about other cats...lol!
Jules comes in at the end and steals the feather teaser. She is still adjusting to their short visit here - lol!
Sweetie Pies in action!!
A little nap, a little boxing, and then dinner!!
Silly Romeo!!
They will sleep so well tonight!
Friday night party! 🎉 I love to watch them play!
