Thread: So I narrowed my breeder choice down... To 17!!

Hi DonnaMD - it's not on your list, but I was really impressed with Moonencia breeders (in Barnsley - same place as Elmcoon). We met both parents, and the kittens are raised in a multi-cat house and are very well socialised. They grow up in the family home and roam around downstairs, generally getting under Lisa's feet and causing trouble! She has a cattery in her garden where some of the cats sleep and we met all them too - they all spend time in the house on a rotation basis. I really liked her relaxed attitude - she really cares about the cats and their welfare, she obviously knows what she's doing, but she's not neurotic. She wouldn't refuse to let you home a kitten because you had dogs, nor does she mind if you want to keep them as outdoor cats (although I don't). Weasel on this forum also recommended Elmcoon and my two have grandparents that are Elmcoons - would imagine they know each other as they're both in same area. Have a look at the forum post under Q&A called 'getting a Maine Coon as a second cat' or something similar - Weasel talks about the experience with the breeder.
