I felt I had to comment on this fabulous, friendly and most helpful lady not just because I have had the most fantastic kitten I could have wished for from her, one that is going to fill a huge hole left by my previous kitten Mia who tragically died not so long ago, but because she is what any breeder should aspire to. Comments from previous 'new parents' say it all. First she ensures you are the right person for one of her brood, then you talk in length and find out she knows so much and if she doesn't know she does her utmost to find out. I'll give an example, I have a queen who is starting to call and a stud male who is yet too young to do anything about it. Sarah tried her best to match me up with a potential stud, even though she was making nothing from it herself. This is typical of her. It is the welfare of the animal she is concerned about!
Back to the quality of her kittens-
Angel, my new kitten, is the most wonderful ball of fluff. She has so much confidence that she hasn't been phased by anything in her new home(except the hoover, lol). Within minutes of coming through my front door she has made herself right at home. She's settled in so well with everybody no one would ever believe she has only been here 3 days, she is so content.
Sarah's love and devotion shines through in the way the kittens react to strangers, they aren't worried in the least and welcome you with open arms, sitting on your lap purring their heads off. She calls a name and the right kitten comes running first time, showing the quality time she has put in to each kitten. They are lovingly cared for and cuddled constantly. They make an ideal family pet, if that is what you are after, but if you want show potential or breeding quality Sarah ensures you get the right kitten for you-as long as you are right for the kitten!!!!
Health of a kitten is paramount and I cannot fault this either. The kittens are huge compared to some I have seen, and I do know size isn't everything. They are extremely healthy and alert. Eyes bright and shining and ready to play at any time. My vet gave Angel the once over on Monday and asked me to compliment the breeder on doing such a good job in raising her (now 14 weeks
old)to such a high standard...which I am now doing publicly.
This is one terrific lady, and having dealt with 3 different breeders previously I can recommend her as being one of the best and certainly worth a 6 hour round trip to bring home one of her brood.
I know if ever I need any advice she would be the first person I would speak to.
many thanks

THe Whirlwind that is Leo is giving us a few minutes to write about how happy we are with him. Leo is a typical ebullent, curious and very interactive Maine Coon with all the chirps cheeps and mmwrrollsss thats they utter.
He is a full on ball of lovely naughtiness, into everything and very keen on "helping" where he can .
I can only thank you for being so thorough about placing your kittens and making sure the new owners are right for these charming and full on personalities.
We know that Leo being a CSection singletom means he has more than a special place in your hearts as well as receiving considerable amounts of your time and attention.
THat your kittens are raised in a family home with all associated activites has made Leo bomb proof ( a total hooligan) and he coped with the travel and settled in within minutes.
From our meetings and the hours in contact before and since it is very obvious how much you care and how knowledgable you are about your furry family .
It is also most reassuring that hte level of pre and post homing support is there to tap into as we need it.
The handbook you provide is a brilliant and our vet was very impressed with it.
Once again thank you for the whirlwind aka Leo and we hope he does you proud on the show bench .
Lovely site and lovely coonies, good luck with the new babies x

Hey Sarah,
Thank you, so much for allowing Little Bill and Izzy to come and live with us. They bring such happiness to our home. They have settled in so well, Little Bill is into everything, he is sat on my knee as i am typing so sorry for any typo's, as for Izzy she has come out of her shell and loves to play just as much as Little Bill, but they still both love there cuddles. Thank you again and we will keep in touch. I will send you some pictures for your website as soon as possible. Love Marie, Wayne, Lewis and Holly. x x

Hi Sarah,
We are so pleased to have Mister aka Lonestar as part of the family, he is really adored, especially by me! Totally the affectionate and playful kitten I'd hope he'd be and I've no doubt that's thanks to the wonderful environment you raised him in. Everyone who's come to visit has come especially to see him and has thought he's gorgeous.
Thanks so much!

hi Sarah I would just like to say a big think you to you and your family for looking after Arwen and Luna wile we were away it put my mind at ease knowing that my babies we been well looked after even it I was missing them loads. They looked very at home when we came to pick them up it was hard to believe they had only been with you for 2 weeks and they must have missed been with you as I think Luna was meowing around looking for you our first night home. We cant thank you enough for looking after them for us. xxx
Just been having a look around your website and your kittens and cats are gorgeous. Loving your new coonie additions and look forward to seeing them grow and have babies of their own
Best wishes

Hi Sarah, Just sending you an update on Pippa and once again saying a massive thank you for letting me have your gorgeous girl earlier this year. She is a dream to own - she's got an amazing temperament, is so very beautiful, with a such a gorgeous coat. I just want to constantly pick her up and cuddle her, which she loves. Eventhough you did not breed her, I am sure her upbringing has made a real difference - she is a credit to you! And thanks for keeping in touch, its lovely that you still care so much about her and that its never too much trouble when I have any queries about looking after her. Thanks again!
