(N) Carrabassett's cattery consists of Marianne and Rolf and our 9 much beloved cats :-) We share our lives with 8 Maine Coons and 1 Domestic Cat. We live 15 km north of central Oslo in a spacious and comfortable house. Rolf is trained as a fighter pilot in the US, and later as a commercial airline pilot in Norway. Marianne has a Masters Degree in Management (Siviløkonom) and a Master of Science.
     
We both love animals very much, and cats in particular. In 1998 we bought our first Maine Coon, Armani, and totally fell in love with this wonderful and charismatic breed. We are intrigued by its awesome look, large size and exceptional temper. After we exhibited Armani at our first show, we were hooked :-) We love bringing our cats to shows, and we have made many great friends over the years through this mutual hobby.
 

     

 

We have built a secure outdoor enclosure for our cats. The cats love to spend time out there, both summer and winter. They have free access to the enclosure from the house, and they come and go as they please. We never let our cats go outdoors on their own, but we try to teach them from an early age to walk on a leash.

 

                      

 

When we bought our first Maine Coon, we never thought we would start breeding. The idea of breeding has developed gradually over the years, and we finally reached a point where we considered ourselves ready to undertake this huge responsibility. In April of 2006 we had our very first litter. We neither aim for, nor want to be a large breeder. However, if mother nature agrees, we hope to have an occasional litter :-) We give our cats a loving and lasting home - we will never re-place any of our cats simply because they are not actively breeding anymore.
 

 

Our cattery-name, (N) Carrabassett's, is derived from Carrabassett Valley, a small place in Maine, USA :-)
 
We wish to thank the breeders that have trusted us with their offsprings from the bottom of our hearts!!! Your cats have given us enough love, joy and fun to last a lifetime! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!
     

Kittens from our cattery will be at least 13-14 weeks old when they leave their home. They will come with a NRR/FIFe-pedigree and a written contract. The kittens will be twice vaccinated and twice treated against worms. They will also be microchipped, have a pet passport and a recent health certificate provided by a registered veterinarian.
