538.0. "MAINE COON CATS - ANY NEW INFO?" by TRUMAN::PLATT () Tue Mar 31 1987 17:11

    I've got a friend who's interested in getting a Maine Coon Cat.
    I've wandered thru old Feline Notes and discovered the names of
    two catteries -- one in Seabrook, NH and the other in Tenn. Apparently
    the one in Seabrook is no longer in existence (at least not at the
    latest number I could find in this Notes file), and my friend isn't
    much interested in anything from Tennesee (too far).
    
    Question to all you Noters -- any new information on Maine coon
    Cat catteries?  
    
    
    Please address replies to TRUMAN::PLATT, as I don't get much of
    a chance to dabble in the Notes Files anymore.
    
    Thanks,
    
    	Barb

    The Pedley's are highly recommended. Good natured healthy cats.
    
    Is Starlee (sp?) in Stoneham (?) still breeding Coons?
    
    If you don't want to pay for a purebreed, Lori Hogland in Thorndike,
    ME  (207) 568-3627  has Coons "out in the barn" with a litter for
    sale on occasion.
    
    Have no fear in dealing with a reputable breeder, such as the DECies
    in earlier notes, living in Tenn., Texas, etc.  The procedure for
    shipping kittens by air to new owners is very common and usually
    trouble-free. 
    
    Copy is 1.5 years old and still growing.  He's very independent
    now that he has a cat door and can come and go at any hour. I've
    finally got him off the canned stuff and onto straight Science Diet
    dry.  Should he have some canned stuff on occasion?  - Chris
538.3Another recommendation for the Pedley'sDONJON::SCHREINERGo ahead, make me PURRR...Thu Apr 02 1987 16:595
    I also recommend the Pedley's.  I know Carol personally, she has
    very nice cats.  She is also a CFF judge.

538.4Cat ShowTOPDOC::DREWFri Apr 03 1987 12:1516
    There will be a cat show hosted by the Downeast Cat Club & United
    Maine Coon Cat Assoc. in Portland, Maine on Saturday, April 18th.
    
    I suspect there will be a goodly number of Maine Coons and their
    breeders at this show.
    
    I'm showing two household pets (pests?) at that show. Having a definite
    weakness for Maine Coons, I've been practicing:
    
    "I do not need another cat, I do not need another cat, I do not
    need another cat..."
    
    What are the odds?

538.5Cazan Maine Coon CatsTSG::GREENEAllison GreeneMon May 18 1987 15:365
Is anyone familiar with the Cazan Maine Coon cattery, run by Donna 
and Patricia Zanca in Hudson, MA?  I admired her cats in a show some
time ago.

I was there about a month ago.  They have 23 cats in all (all 
Maine Coons).  At that time they had 5 or 6 adults that they 
would place in a good home for about $50 each.  Their kittens 
sell for $300 each for pet quality.  Many of their cats are 
"Champions".

Hope this helps.
