Sun O'er Sea's Zaros aka Hades will be sent to stud with Verdantide Cattery, Highspire, PA.
We are very excited for this match, as it brings forward some old American show lines in the Maine Coon fancy.
We welcome serious and responsible inquiries! We currently have spring 2024 kittens looking for loving homes! (updated: 06/17/2024)
We only accept inquiries from responsible and serious pet parents who are dedicated to the love and welfare of the Maine Coon cat and will treat our beloved babies as family members. We take our responsibility of breeders very seriously and thoroughly screen pet parents applying for one of our kittens.
We encourage those seriously interested to come see our cattery to meet the parents of the litter and their kitten. Cattery visits can be arranged by e-mail, sunoerseacattery@gmail.com, or phone: (724) 513-3640. While we approve flying a kitten on your person, we never ship kittens via cargo, which we find unsafe for our cats. We require all pet parents to visit our cattery on the day of pick-up.
Our cattery evaluates our kittens for show and breed potential prior to placing with pet families and prices based on the following:
Pet Quality:A pet quality kitten does not mean a less healthy or less good-looking feline. Not all kittens are chosen by us for a show ring. Kittens with subtle physical differences in ear placement, shade, or pattern of coat do not make suitable show candidates. Our pet quality kittens are still of the highest quality and make beautiful and lovable family pets -- still representing the breed wonderfully. Unless you are a breeder or experienced in showing, it is very unlikely that you will ever notice the difference between show and pet quality. Our pet kittens are moderately priced, which reflects our kittens' outstanding quality.
Show Quality: These kittens represent almost all of the traits in breed standard. Representing years of hard work and careful selection of pedigrees, they meet breed standards equivalent to Champion and/or above show titles. Most all have good possibilities of higher ranking show titles. You may choose not to show your new kitten. However, we will assist you if you desire to enter a show ring.
Top Show/Breeder Quality: These cats meet and exceed the expectations for show possibilities and have the potential to carry the highest awards in show titles. In this case, we would keep this quality of cat to be shown and continue in our breeding program. These kittens are rarely sold and if considered for sale would be candidates only to qualified experienced breeders for show and breeding possibilities.

These seven magical babies were born on the day of totality, April 8, 2024. All are healthy and all are thriving. We are accepting inquiries on one baby that is currently unreserved.
We are also pleased to announce that we are offering one future queen with rights to a dear breeder friend in Claremore, Oklahoma; we are also, finally, keeping our Ninianne.
2024:
I have found out we have been recommended as a reputable cattery on Reddit (thank you!): https://www.reddit.com/r/mainecoons/comments/174mx4j/recommendations/
I have bred for eight years and kept a meticulous record on health; I do my best to support my pet parents through our health guarantee and act as a lifetime sounding board for our kittens. I am grateful that I have been so fortunate to see my work succeed. This is truly amazing.

We have seven babies from the Eclipse litter. Morgana and Charlie (Ithaqua) are expecting.
SELENE
I'll regret not keeping her later, but am delighted that she is going as a future queen to a friend's cattery.
This year, it dawned on me that our award-winning bloodlines and half decade's worth of health tests need to be passed on, so I am very, very pleased she will be going to a wonderfully small program.
Selene is beautiful, carries her tail like her great-grandmother and truly is a show kitten. I will be excited for my friend to feature her in kitten class and even more excited to visit her; we also have future plans to work together.

The Eclipse Litter: Magic in the Making
MOON/ECLIPSE
There is something special about this baby boy. He was born with a crescent moon on his back, the day of the total lunar eclipse.
He has one white ear tip and one silver. He may be the tiniest but he is the fiercest and he is quickly outpacing his sisters.
Everything about this baby is right; he is breed quality going as pet.
*Reserved for Nicole*
Our babies range from $2500-3000 for pet quality only; health is our top priority. We breed for health, structure, and temperament, and place on personality and fit. Our kings and queens are negative for HCM, PK Deficiency, and SMA as well as FELV/FIV; kittens go home no sooner than twelve weeks after appropriate socialization time with mom!

POTENTIAL FUTURE QUEEN.

*INQUIRIES WELCOME*
LOKI
There is so much to love about this boy; his playful antics, his zoomie sounds. He loves visitors and is really beginning to break out from his shell.
He is a stunning brown and white tabby with correct eye-set and ear-set. He is mid-to-upper pack, 2nd pick male kitten.
He enjoys playing with his brothers and sisters and has currently fallen in love with climbing everything-- the cat tree, the coffee table, you name it.
RESERVED FOR RACHEL
Sun O'er Sea's Ithaqua aka Charlie or Charlemagne, is our stud from GC Majestic Luv's Mike (Big Mike) & Majestic Luv's Sedna of Sun O'er Sea.
On Dec 24, 2023, just in time for Christmas, Charlie and Nyneve had two silver boys who will be ready in late March 2024; #2 due 1-13*
On Jan 15, Morwenna and Charlie welcomed five beautiful babies into the world. They will be ready in April.
BEAR
He is pick kitten of this litter and it is with a bit of bitter-sweetness that he goes to his new home. Bear is a delightful baby; he's all that and more. He is the characteristic silver that Charlie throws with a beautiful contrast in coat.
He is a 2023 replacement kitten for one of the three babies we lost; Remus was delightful and loving and sweet. Remus was exposed to FIP in October 2023 and unfortunately passed. A mark of a good breeder is one that backs their cats and their lines. No one deserves to lose a baby that young.

Sun O'er Sea Maine Coons
JERICHO
Named for the "city of the Moon," Jericho was born on the day of totality and is the sweetest kitten of the group.
He is friendly and curious.
He will do very well with his future sister Jolene who was a Silvie/Charlie 2022 baby and he will work well with the dynamics of his future home.
I am so thrilled to be working with Meredith again and know this boy will bring her lots of joy.
