Girls    Boys Babies Sweeties Retired   Miss you Thank you   About us   Guestbook Links  Cattery   Food     FAQ     Contact   HCM   HD   PKD   Fun Tips   Home Welcome! “Sparrow's Nightmare” is a small hobby cattery with a total of nine cats: three breeding Queens, one male, three youngsters and two spayed cats. Our cats - females and males - are totally integrated into our domestic life; they live with me, my husband, our two foster children and our dog as family members in a large and cosy house in the district of Hameln/Pyrmont near Hannover in Germany. Fair-to-breed living conditions is the top priority for all our animals. Our animals can use all rooms in our house - except the children´s bedrooms and our bathroom. We don't hold them separate, in cat-rooms or in separate rooms or cages. All regular vaccinations for our cats and kittens are administered several times a year exclusively in our home allowing our veterinarian, the animal clinic Eimbeckhausen, full access into the habitat and surroundings as well as offering an honest insight of the living and health conditions of our cattery.  The advantage of such home visits is a relaxed initial vet introduction in a stress free environment  which usually carries over  to any future vet visits. We are looking to place preferably our babies in pet-loving homes. They will go (pets -> being early spayed/early neutered!) at the age of 14-16 weeks, chipped, with current certificate of health, tested (labor) FeLV/FIV, full vaccinated and come with copies of the HCM, PKD, HD test results of their parents to you. Our breeding goal: sturdy, long-lived and affectionate Maine Coon cats. We love the moderate  type, without any extreme features - from the beginnings of the Maine Coon breed: "Historic Maine Coons before 1980". To us breeding means: preserving the original features of this naturally developed cat breed instead of selecting to cater for constantly changing breeding trends. Therefore we enrich the gene pool with our kittens by carefully selecting the parents and working partly with very old lines / outcross and foundation lines. Our cats and their parents are tested / will be tested: HD, PKD, PL, FIV, FeLV and regular HCM (ultrasound/color doppler and DNA-test variant 1). Veterinarians for HCM and PKD are Dr. Ralf Tobias and Dr. Dirk Lüerssen (certificated veterinarians for HCM and PKD). come in - click photo for more informations Snapshots Irish Setter Svenja YoYo photo stories for adults only!
