About Chemicoons

*Photo by Helmi Flick. All Rights Reserved.

My introduction to this amazing breed occurred in 1999 when a professor in graduate school bought a kitten & brought him in one day. I was mesmerized by this stunning kitten and the rest, as they say, is history. In 2001, I adopted his full, younger brother. By this time, I had also attended a few shows with that Professor and realized I would like to show a cat in the spayed/neuter class. Unfortunately, my new baby didn't share the same opinion of showing so he was soon joined by a second Maine C**n companion. After a bit more success, I was hooked on both cat shows and more specifically, Maine C**ns. Educating myself about feline husbandry and Maine C**ns, showing my cats and networking within the cat fancy all laid the foundation for my own cattery and Chemicoons was born.

The name Chemicoons is a merger of the words "chemical" and "Maine C**n" which represents my two passions...my vocation as Chemistry professor and my hobby as Maine C**n enthusiast. My cats are named after various elements, compounds, famous scientists and all things Chemistry related.

I am an active participant in Maine C**n Breed Groups, am currently the elected Breed Committee Chair in TICA, the elected Regional Director of the Great Lakes region of TICA. I’ve served a term as the elected Vice-President of the Maine C**n Breeders & Fanciers Association (MCBFA), am a three-term elected breed committee member in TICA, involved in Feline Health Research and The International Cat Association, all with an eye on my main goal...to breed these wonderful cats to produce beautiful, healthy and sweet "gentle giants" for my own home-based breeding program, but also in hopes of providing wonderful companions for other cat lovers as well.
