Hi! Welcome to Rutterkin Cats, the home of Rutterkin Maine Coons.

I love cats, moggy or pedigree, and have for a long time.  However, my interest in Maine Coons began in earnest in 2000 when I met and became friends with Heather Horton, who breeds Birmans and Maine Coons under the prefix “Namrib”.  My first Maine Coon, a red silver neuter boy, was Gr Pr Namrib Rutterkinboy, aka Winston.  Not the biggest Maine Coon ever, but a lovely gentle lad who inherited his wonderful temperament from his father, Gr Ch Noracoon Caesar of Namrib (owned by Heather).

 In September 2002 Heather came with me to see Bill Griffiths’ Shookatoo cats.  We returned with Shookatoo Katarina, a striking tortie and white.  She produced some lovely kittens including

Ch & Gr Pr Rutterkin Lonestar McGraw (fantastic name!) a superb red classic tabby and white boy who was named and is owned by my friends Jan & Clive Haden (Kirminac Maine Coons).  Sadly, Katarina- or Poppy, as we called her- died when she was just 3 years old, having abnormally small kidneys, a problem which was not detected until she was very ill. 

 After Poppy came Noracoon Saskat Chewen- Clara to us.  Another tortie and white, but this time a classic tabby.  She is now the matriarch of my brood, ruling over her daughters, granddaughters and the others that have arrived with an iron paw clad in soft white fur!

 I love torties and reds, and these are the colours that I breed most of.  I have 2 mingled tortie tabby girls, 2 patched tortie tabbies, a red tabby, a solid dilute tortie and a tortie silver tabby, all with white.  All the tabbies are the classic pattern.  I also have a silver tabby girl, as silver is such a popular colour.  My neuter boys are Winston and a red and white tabby, Rutterkin Jacob Shiriki (who actually belongs to my daughter).

 My other girls, not already mentioned, are:

Ch & Pr Rutterkin Kiss Me Kate

Rutterkin Annie Oakley

Linnel Autumn Breeze

Rutterkin Skyblue-Pink

Linnel Apache Clouds

Rutterkin Princess Pandora

Rutterkin Silver Firefly

I’ve told my husband that this is it, my full quota of cats (we also have a Bengal and an Oriental, making 12 in all) at least until we lose one……….. However…… …..…if there’s a special kitten born……...............one more wouldn’t make much difference…. ………….would it?
