My mother lived in Erie, Pennsylvania and one day in 1990 she called and said that there was a CFA cat show in town over the weekend and asked us if we wanted to go. That was the start of our association with CFA and pedigreed cats. Both Bill and I fell in love with the Maine Coon breed and shortly thereafter purchased McKittycreek's Simon the Sorcerer (pictured below). After a few shows, Simon decided he didn't like the show circuit, but we did. The rest as they say "is history". We have been actively breeding and showing Maine Coons ever since. Our goal has always been to breed healthy and happy kittens. Our kittens are raised "under foot" and go to their new owners only after they have received three sets of shots and a full health OK from the vet at 12 weeks of age.

We have on occasion shown other breeds "just for fun". An Oriental Shorthair, an American Shorthair, and a Korat were all shown to regional wins and the Korat, aka Elliot, was a national winner. Around 2000, Sharon decided to pursue becoming a CFA judge. She then began showing other breeds not only for fun but also as a requirement for applying to the judging program. Sharon applied and was accepted into the CFA judging panel as a Longhair trainee in 2003 and 2009- at the CFA Annual meeting was approved as a CFA Allbreed judge. We are looking forward to hearing from you and talking about all of our wonderful cats so please feel free to e-mail or call us.

Best Regards,
Bill & Sharon
