🐾 Hi, I’m Stephanie — the human behind Maine C**n Mayo! 🐾
I realized there are quite a few new faces here, so I thought it was time for a proper introduction.
I’m a Registered Nurse living on a small farm in the beautiful Kootenays of British Columbia with my husband, our dogs, sheep, chickens, bees, and of course… a house full of Maine C**ns. I’m also a Christ follower, and my faith influences how I approach both my nursing career and my cattery. I believe animals are a gift from God and that we are called to be good stewards of everything entrusted to us. Some people collect shoes. I collect giant cats. 😅
My journey with Maine C**ns started because I completely fell in love with their personalities. Yes, they’re stunning. Yes, they’re huge. But what really won me over was how social, affectionate, and downright hilarious they are. Maine C**ns seem to believe they are part cat, part dog, and part supervisor.
I started Maine C**n Mayo because I wanted to breed cats that were not only beautiful, but healthy, confident, and well-socialized. Every breeding cat in my program undergoes health testing, and my focus is always on temperament, health, and preserving the wonderful traits that make Maine C**ns so special.
My kittens are raised right in my home, surrounded by everyday life. They grow up hearing vacuum cleaners, meeting visitors, being cuddled constantly, and learning that humans are basically giant food dispensers.
As a nurse, health and welfare are at the center of everything I do. As a breeder, I believe my responsibility extends far beyond sending a kitten home. I’m here to support my families for the lifetime of their cat, whether they need advice, reassurance, or just someone to appreciate the 47th photo of their Maine C**n sleeping in a ridiculous position! 😹
When I’m not caring for patients or cats, you’ll usually find me gardening, chasing farm animals, drinking 0.0% beer, or convincing myself that adding “just one more cat” is a perfectly reasonable business decision.
