Cathmawr is a small cattery in Swansea, South Wales.  My first introduction to Maine Coons was over three years ago now, when, having just lost a faithful friend of 19 years, my partner suggested we consider giving a home to a 15 month old Maine Coon who needed rehoming.

Rozeecoonz Hiawatha, our first Maine Coon, came to us when he was 15 months old. 

I  went  to see  'Tiny'  who was back with his breeders in Carmarthen,   and fell in love with him.  He is a magnificent neuter boy for whom Tiny is a wonderful name.

His breeders, Rose and Eddie Kitching, persuaded us that he would gain his first certificate if I took him to a forthcoming show, and, sure enough, he did.  We have not looked back.

About this time Rose and Eddie had two litters of kittens and we decided that we would like to have one of the girls and breed from her.  On my many visits to Carmarthen to see our new girl, I fell in love with the only boy and he also came home with us.

Our boys and girls are all registered with FIFe (Federation Internationale Feline) and I have shown them on a regular basis.   We have made good friends through the show circuit and the Aristocats Club, the affiliated club to which we belong.  Special thanks go to Rose and Eddie Kitching of Rozeecoonz Maine Coons in Carmarthen for introducing us to these majestic cats.

Retirement of a sort was unexpectedly forced on me at the end of 2004 so I was able to spend a lot of time with our first litter of kittens..  It was great fun and a privilege to see them develop from new borns into boisterous, energetic little cats, each with his or her own personality and character.  We absolutely adored them all and the first thing we would say to each other if one of us had been out was "How are the kittens."

We have had more litters of kittens from our girls Emmy and her daughter Violet,  and all the kittens, with the exception of Alys, Violet's daughter, have gone to  new homes.  Hopefully, Violet will have more litters and then Alys, when she has grown up. To find out more please enter our site
