Introduction

CJPAWS was established in 2005. We have been showing Maine Coons for the last two years, traveling through the Eastern United States and Canada. We adopted our first show kitten, "Sheldon," from Catgo Maine Coons. After showing Sheldon, Joe and I decided we wanted to further our dedication to the Maine Coons by starting our own cattery in Senecaville, Ohio.

We dearly love the breed and have owned several over the last 20 years. A special thanks to our Mentors: Marilyn and Scott McBane, who have helped Joe and I for the last two years. With their patience and encouragement, we have learned about the Maine Coon Breed and showing in CFA.

Mission Statement

CJPAWS is a small home cattery, consisting of three breeding females and one breeding male. Our philosophy is to raise healthy and fun-loving kittens, which are well socialized for their new homes. We HCM and SMA screen. Our males and females are heart screened at one year of age and each year thereafter.

Cat Associations

Our cats are registered with CFA (Cat Fanciers Association). We are associate members of Western Pennsylvania Cat Fanciers’ and Cleveland Persian Society. We are also members of Great Lakes Great Cats (GLGC) with Cindy being Acting Treasurer of this organization. GLGC is a cat club devoted to the health and welfare of Maine Coon Cats.

Philosophy

Our cattery does not cage our cats. They are our pets as well as breeding cats. Kittens are raised underfoot with love from our entire family. CJPAWS kittens are $600.00, and are sold as indoor pets. They are NOT to be declawed.

Our Guarantee

Kittens are guaranteed Felv/Fiv negative and are guaranteed to be free of bacterial diseases and free of parasites. The kittens will go home with two sets of immunizations for Feline Rhinotrachetis-Calici-Panleukopenia. The kittens will be wormed and certified healthy by a veterinarian. I do NOT recommend the Feline Leukemia or FIP vaccines.

The most important thing for us is the continuation of healthy and happy kittens. To ensure this we require all CJPAWS Maine Coon owners to agree to the following:

• Never allow your cat outdoors
• Never declaw
• Provide a nutritious diet and fresh water daily
• Provide appropriate veterinary care
• Provide lots of love and affection
