Welcome! Verdantide Cattery was established in 2020.
​
I'm a small breeder and plan to keep it that way, with only one litter per year. My passion is connecting people with their fur-children! I strive to produce healthy, friendly, beautiful cats that are good representatives of the Maine Coon breed.
​
The cats are my children and as such have free roam of our home. Every kitten is cherished and a great deal of my heart and soul is poured into each one. Having suffered heartache, my long-term goal is to help make our cats healthier through ethical, conscientious breeding.
​
In addition to carefully selecting each pairing based on health, temperament and physical characteristics, I also place a personal emphasis on high integrity and open, consistent communication. I believe in treating others as I wish to be treated. All adopters receive lifetime support.
​
I voluntarily abide by TICA'S Code of Ethics and adhere to PawPeds' testing recommendations, the latter of which I now serve as a volunteer for the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) database in an effort to help eradicate this horrible disease.
​
Beyond the cats, my time is split between central Pennsylvania and New York, where I work seasonally as a foaling professional.
​
Operating a cattery is a true labor of love, and once you adopt a kitten from me you become family.
What does Verdantide mean? Verdantide is a word I came up with to describe a phenomenon I observed in the hay fields surrounding my childhood home. The tall bluish-green grass would ripple silver in the summer breeze, resembling waves.... it was a verdant tide of sorts. This word reminds me of the tranquility, beauty and happiness of home, all traits I hope to embody in my cattery.
