Our newly built  Cattery consists of a total of three separate facilities. The Cattery is of course insulated and heated. Each of the gyms measures about 400 sqare feet including the outdoor run. </div> <bR> <div> We invite you on a virtual Cattery tour........ have a look and let us know what you think :)</div> <bR> <bR> <div> Here is the Orange gym no. 1.

Buyers are welcome to pick up their kittens and can be given a tour during this time. We would kindly ask that people visit local cat shows to find out how Maine Coons look like. Thank you.</div> <bR> <div> When it is time for a female cat to have her babies,  she enjoys the comfort of her own private area . Kittens are born under my desk in my office. At about 3 weeks of age they move to the Purple kitten nursery. A kitten nursery is a safe and secure place for kittens to spend the first 12 to 16 weeks of their lives.  You can read more about how our cats are being kept  under "Kittens for Sale" and  "Our goals".</div> <bR> <bR> <div> We very much emphasize on the importance of quality nutrition - for both our human family and our animals. Here is what we presently feed our cats and kittens:</div> <bR> <div> Morning: Plate of supplemented Raw food (Beef or Chicken) </div> <div> Lunch time:  A snack of Evo (Innova), a high meat content, grainless Dry food, mixed with Felidae, a high quality high meat content dry food</div> <div> Evening: Plate of supplemented Raw food (Chicken or Beef)</div> <div> Every other day: A little bit of Wellness Canned food as a treat :-)</div> <bR> <div> <I>We also feed day old chicks to all our cats, usually once per day or every other day. Day old chicks are a complete diet for cats (no supplements needed!!). Our cats devour them like there is no tomorrow ;-))</I></div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
