We adopted our first Maine Coons, Samson and Buttons, in 1999 from LiJaKae Cattery owned by Linda and John Evans. After falling in love with this gentle, loving and playful breed of cat and becoming good friends with Linda and John, we decided to start our own breeding program.

Our first litter from Tinker and Beau was born in 2003. Tinker gave birth to three perfect kittens. Experiencing the birth, nurturing and development of these kittens, we were hooked.

From this beginning, our cattery expanded. Our new breeding male is Phantom, which is a black smoke.  We also have five breeding females – Moonbeam, Sienna, Embers and Autumn and our new girl which is only 8 weeks old and doesn't have a name yet. 

Rickoons Cattery is a small cattery located 10 miles south of Cleveland, Ohio.  We are registered with the TICA. We show our cats in TICA sponsored cat shows throughout the Midwest.
