Welcome! My name is Danielle, and as a registered veterinary nurse, my focus on responsible breeding practices truly sets Ears&Paws cattery apart in the industry. My journey in veterinary and shelter medicine has shaped my commitment to the health and well-being of our beloved pets. I’m excited to share my passion with loving families, ensuring a bright future with our feline companions!
I take great pride in raising my cats in a cage-free environment, following a strict routine of balanced nutrition, vaccinations, deworming, and quarantine protocols to ensure their health is never compromised. Every kitten born in my cattery is handled and carried daily, receiving plenty of enrichment to nurture their development.
They enjoy regular grooming, playful time with my lively pack of dogs, and even relaxing moments with music while I go about my chores. My goal is to raise kittens that are as well-socialized, confident, and family-oriented as possible. The kittens often come to work with me, receiving lots of attention alongside their regular health exams. If any health concerns arise, I do everything I can to care for them and make things right. I couldn’t do it all alone—Zach is always ready to lend a hand, and his favorite job is playing with the kittens!
Thank you for taking the time to read about our little family. Feel free to reach out anytime. I truly believe that once you experience the joy of owning a Maine Coon, you’ll want one forever!
I first discovered the Maine Coon breed through my work at the veterinary clinic, where I met Moscow—a giant black smoke boy with the most stunning looks and the biggest personality I’d ever seen. From that moment, I knew I wanted to embrace this lifestyle.
After extensive research, I connected with a trusted breeder and mentor all the way in Ukraine. She sent me my first breeding pair, turning my dream into a reality. Though the journey has had its challenges and learning curves, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Every day brings new lessons and growth.
This breeding program has introduced me to incredible people whose lives have been touched by my cats—just as Moscow’s presence forever changed mine.
