Maine C**n Cat Breeder So where did it all start? What an absolute dream to travel overseas, personally meet the breeder and collect your own kittens, fabulous!
(10)

I grew up within a close knit family with lots of siblings, cats, dogs and numerous other pets and have over the years like most people had the pedigreed cats and dogs as well as the loveable moggies and rescue’s ... we were forever bringing home some poor soul (human and animal) that needed rescued knowing full well it would be welcomed albeit it was another mouth to feed! On my return to South A

frica in 1990 complete with my treasured cat Murdoch we extended our family with two Great Danes and another cat called Gizmo. Fate stepped in and our beloved cats were stolen and I promised myself I would never get another pedigreed cat again. Over the years we had numerous cats and strays that made themselves at home but never a kitten, we only took the older cats looking for a safe home. During the years in Mpumalanga we visited the Kruger National Park at least two or three times per year and of course my absolute joy would be to see the Big Cats, what a beautiful sight and wished I had a big cat and the biggest I could find complete with the ‘wild look’ was a Maine C**n ! My son Paul graduated from Chef School here in Cape Town and started to travel overseas and as a result of this I found myself with spare time on my hand and decided to do something for myself and that was specifically to find my dream cat ... a Maine C**n ! Its ironic how things work out in life, I’m a firm believer that some things are supposed to happen and when the time is right. I contacted a couple of breeders here in Cape Town and off I went with Grannie and Paul in tow as there was no way I was going to go without them! It was my lucky day when I met Jean who had believe it or not a kitten available, I fell in love and couldn’t wait to bring Monty home or wait for the new show season where I could go and proudly show this marvellous boy. Paul saw how happy I was and wanted to add to our Maine C**n family and suggested he bring home a kitten from the UK in December 2008. Needless to say it evolved from there and as we had family in Germany the decision was made to visit the family and personally collect the kitten which soon turned into three! A very special mention to a legend unto her own, Petra Smith of The Legends Cattery who has guided and assisted me on this exciting new phase of my life, and will no doubt carry on for many years to come. My grateful thanks to you Petra for your friendship and the ultimate gift of this site! My sincere thanks go to Jean Taylor of Kondicoon's Cattery here in Cape Town and Katharina Mager of JustC**ns in Germany for entrusting me with their precious babies! We hope to do you proud and the Maine C**n breed here in South Africa.

Highlanders Maine C**n Cattery has been so lucky and fortunate that Americanlynx Maine C**n Cattery and Melluandia PL Maine C**n Cattery trusted us with their offspring who arrived from Europe, healthy, genetically tested and with a wonderful temperament, a bonus when choosing a stud boy.
Valentina & Ewa I thank you for these amazing boys who are an absolute delight and have been a great addition to our cattery here in South Africa.
Our foundation cats, Well Done aka Mac, Xio Mara and DC from Justcoons was the beginning of our cattery and we've not looked back ! And let's not forget the awesome Justcoons Fastpaw aka Shrek and the amazing stud boy Justcoons NaNu, who produced the biggest Maine C**n litter to date in SA.
We cannot go without mentioning the stunning Tuxie boy, the most laid back Maine C**n stud boy on show, who with DC produced our signature look, Highlanders Mary Queen of Scots.
Shangri-la added to our cattery, the beautiful Jeanie Jean Jean who produced with Shrek one of the biggest boys out there, Highlanders Single Malt.
We've met wonderful breeders who have become friends and who share the same commitment to the ethical breeding of Maine C**ns. The South African Ethical Breeders Group include a range of practices and standards, these encompass respecting each other and honoring agreements, health testing for genetic concerns in Maine C**ns, and ensuring our cats meet the breed standard through participation in shows.
Looking forward to many more years enjoying this hobby with good friends and of course our "wine tasting lunches" get togethers to share our love of Maine C**ns and South African food and wine.
