ClassicCool Cattery is located in southern NJ in historic Woodbury. We are easily accessible to Philadelphia, Eastern PA, Delaware, Maryland and the New York City Area.

ClassicCool Maine Coon cats started in 1996.  We are a small cattery and have been since our inception.  It is our belief that quality is of upmost importance and to rear kittens properly they must all be given lots of individualized attention.  Our Maine Coons are all raised underfoot and have the run of our home.

Our cattery was formed when we started vending at cat shows. We took an immediate interest in the Maine Coon cats as we watched them compete week after week. Their majesty is so intriguing.  We spoke to many breeders until we finally decided on the look that was right for us. Our first Maine Coon was CH Shadowrock W.A. Mozarts' Riff.  Riff was also our very first experience in showing a cat.  Riff is still with us today at twelve years of age and 25 pounds.  After Riff came GC Adventhill Haydn Sonata of ClassicCool.  Sonata was our first Grand Champion and the first of our Grand Champion females.  This was our beginning.  The rest is history as they say.

We register our cats in both CFA and TICA.  We are members of the Maine Coon Breed Council of CFA.  Over the years we have been members of the Maine Coon Cat Club, Garden State Cat Club, and the Japanese Bobtail Cat Club.
Donna has been a member of the CFA Mentoring Program for the past few years.  She is always happy to help newcomers with the knowledge she has gained in the areas of health, nutrition, grooming, and the presentation of our breed in the show ring.  We have also been involved with Persians, Abyssinians and the Japanese Bobtail in years past.

One of our goals has been to produce cats that meet the standard in both CFA & TICA. In addition to this we have devoted much time and effort in showing our cats.  In this venue we have been rewarded by their many accomplishments in the show ring. To date we have produced many Grand Champions, Regional Winners and National winning cats.  Although our prime focus has been in CFA our cats have done well in both organizations with awards in both. Our cats' pedigrees contain International & Regional Winners in TICA as well as National winning cats in CFA. 

We love our cats and the joy that they bring us.
