About AmazingTails

We have no cats available and none are planned. We are no longer breeding.

Visitors are always welcome! We love to show off the cats and talk about them. This can be a good way for you to see and handle Maine Coons in person. And hear my rants. So nothing is free.

We began breeding Maine Coon Cats in 1993 and stopped in 1998. The goal of our breeding program was healthy, beautiful, and personable cats that meet the TICA breed standard. Our preference still is for extravagance in our cats. And for red tabbies and tortoiseshells. Our cats are family members with the run of the house.

We are registered with TICA and CFA. We are breed members of MCBFA.

We stopped breeding because we no longer had the time and money to devote to the cats. We love the breed and still attend cat shows and visit with other breeders, but the constant effort is thankfully a part of the past. Our approach to cat breeding was demanding. We studied animal husbandry, genetics, diet, health and disease, and grooming. We began learning about feeding cats raw meat in the second year and continue to study it as new information appears. We discovered first hand that diet is a vital link in the physical and mental health of cats, and that the health of both parents is a strong contributor to the health of the kittens.

We have two Maine Coons at this time.

• Captain Courageous is my handsome dark red mackeral tabby male and my personal favorite. He was one of two kittens born in my first litter. His mom is Miss Spice (my first Maine Coon), who has moved to a new home where she is one of two cats and gets lots of attention. Captain is Mr. Personality.
• Blondie is a beautiful female red mackeral tabby with white paws, chin, and belly. She was one of five kittens in Miss Spice's second litter. We bonded early: From the age of 2 months, whenever I contemplated selling her, I cried. So Blondie is here for good. At 20 pounds she is the largest cat in the house. With a double coat, she is extremely furry and very fluffy. And very affectionate. Her specialty is love.

We also have a Snowshoe named Mac. (The Snowshoe is a man-made breed, fairly recent and few in number, a cross between Siamese and American Shorthair. In coloring, they are a Siamese with white.) Mac is a blue point with white. He was bought to be a companion for Captain. We chose him because he will never be taken for a Maine Coon. He has a wonderful personality and is a great lap cat. He and Captain are good friends.
