CFA preservative Breeding
Our Story
My journey in cat show world began in early 2009 with a domestic cat named REO who inspired my path.
After adopting him from shelter, I joined the CFA as a ring clerk and showed REO in the household pet class in both CFA and TICA.
By 2012, I became CFA licensed Master Clerk and studied extensively to prepare for professional breeding.
After years of research and exploration on various breed, finally decided on my first love - the gentle giant Maine Coons.
I started my breeding journey harsh and tough without any mentorship. During my early years, I explored Italian lines but ultimately settled and chose the traditional American CFA standards for my vision.
Today, REO Cattery preserves original genetic traits and CFA maine coon breed standard, while at the same time focusing on health, stability, and loving temperaments.
We raise every kitten on foot with care, connecting these intelligent and gentle giants with families move who value them as lifelong treasures.
