About us
My love for animals began long before I founded the cattery. Ever since childhood, animals have held a special place in my heart. I brought home every animal I saw on the street – be it a kitten, a bird, or a frog. 🐸 As soon as I got my passport, I got a job at a pet store, helping owners care for their pets and learning more and more about animal health, nutrition, and care every day.
I first saw a Maine Coon at my sister Irina’s. I still remember the experience. The charming kitten with tufted ears, his impressive size, and his fearless and friendly nature captivated me at first sight. At that moment, I realized this breed was truly special. I set out to save up for the kitten of my dreams. I spent a year working toward this cherished goal.
In 2016, I went to Moscow to get my first Maine Coon cat—the beautiful Hestia. I still remember the excitement of that trip. The first time I held Hestia. 🐾🐾 2016 marked a new chapter. In 2016, my sister Irina and I founded the ArtirMax Elbarko cattery. We’ve been together ever since. This year, we decided to expand our cattery.
The health and well-being of our cats and kittens is always our top priority. We carefully select our breeding lines and pay close attention to health, temperament, and the correct breed type in our breeding program.
For us, breeding Maine Coons is not simply work — it is a passion, a responsibility, and a deep love for this extraordinary breed.
