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 fall 2024 kittens looking for loving homes! (updated: 09/09/2024)
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.
Changing Leaves: Autumn's Litters
BLAISE
This boy is drop-dead gorgeous. He has his mother's structure and such a sweet personality that he definitely inherited from his father. He loves to play and cuddle and is busy doing all things kitten!
*reserved for Breanna*
Our Past Litters (2017-2023) click here.
Sun O'er Sea is excited to announce our 2024 fall litters. Two of our fall litters will be ready at the end of September and we will have one litter available in mid-October, just before Halloween. As of 9/4/2024, we have four babies available; the other five are reserved.
SAKURA
This sweet girl is heading to a previous pet parent of ours where she will join her big brother, Yuki, and her dad's other domestics.
She has been long awaited and her dad is most excited for her arrival.
*reserved*
These two last had a litter in Spring 2023 together. They welcomed three beautiful babies into the world this summer. I have one blue boy; These babies will be ready to go in mid-October.
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.
Fall season has begun and Charlie has been busy; he is the proud father of two fall kittens.
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.
MERLIN
This cat is pure white, magic. Born with the ghost markings of silver that is beginning to fade, he is striking; he has a GREAT personality and his father's structure. His favorite toy is the feather wand and his antics with that wand is what gets him the name Merlin.
In a season where the sky grows darker and summer nights shorten, Merlin brings all the white light needed to brighten the day.
AVAILABLE
Pip and Apollo: mates since 2022
THEO
This sweet baby boy is reserved for the Henley family and they are anxiously awaiting his arrival. I am so very pleased to be working with them.
*reserved*
CASSIAN
He is an absolutely gorgeous blue smoke with a phenomenal personality and structure that is European. He will be big, wild-looking but not in temperament, and beautiful.
He loves to play, snuggle, and does well with other cats and dogs.
*reserved for Mike & family*
Where there is fire, there is ice. Snow and Apollo have been a tried and true pairing since 2021. They have produced many healthy and beautiful kittens together; this season, we have 2 boys (both available) and 2 girls (both girls reserved).
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!
In 2019, when a friend gifted me their dad for my program, she mentioned that he could produce smoke. I had never seen the coloration produced, but in 2024, it has arrived; genetics are crazy. She is a stunning-- no white-- black smoke with her mother's structure and the coloration that her daddy's breeder promised. Sure, to get smoke in my program, I could have bought it but it would have been far less rewarding.

Morgana and Charlie: mates since 2021
MISS KITTY
We've tossed around the idea of keeping a girl with a breeding mentee in Louisiana. Miss Kitty will be staying in Homer, Louisiana; her future mate is Sun O'er Sea's A Rogue Duke.

SMOKEY JOE
This gorgeous blue boy is a solid blue with great expression and good boning and structure. He loves to play and while I'm reading or watching television is the first to climb up on my lap.
Looking to place him in a pet home.
AVAILABLE
LILLIAN
She is her daddy's mini-me and Charlie has loved raising her; she has the most striking expression, loves to play, and social. She enjoys snuggles and is the kind of Maine Coon that will sleep with you.
She is the sweetest, good quality silver girl. Would do well in a show home or even a small breeding program.
*reserved for Jennifer & mom*
Snow and Apollo: mates since 2020
These two last had a litter in Fall 2023 together; Morgana then had a year off (it is important to rest breeding queens). They welcomed two beautiful babies into the world this summer. I have one silver girl available; I would also consider placing her in a small breeding program. She has excellent structure. These babies will be ready to go: 9/21/24.
