Sun O'er Sea Maine Coons
* * * Update: 6/28* * *
We only accept inquiries from responsible and serious pet parents who are dedicated to the love and welfare of the Maine Coon cat and will treat our beloved babies as family members. We take our responsibility of breeders very seriously and thoroughly screen pet parents applying for one of our kittens. To work with Beth, send a contact e-mail to sunoerseacattery@gmail.com or call 724-513-3640. Know that our babies ARE NOT first come, first serve and we work diligently to match you with your dream kitten based on PERSONALITY over secondary factors: SEX and COLOR. WE REQUIRE PET PARENTS TO BE ON OUR WAITLIST FOR RARE COLORS: BLUE SMOKE, CALICO, SILVER PATCH.
We encourage those seriously interested to come see our cattery to meet the parents of the litter and their kitten. Cattery visits can be arranged by e-mail, sunoerseacattery@gmail.com, or phone: (724) 513-3640. While we approve flying a kitten on your person, we never ship kittens via cargo, which we find unsafe for our cats. We request that all Sun O'er Sea pet parents
visit our cattery on the day of pick-up.
Our cattery evaluates our kittens for show and breed potential prior to placing with pet families and prices based on the following:
Pet Quality ($3000-3500):A pet quality kitten does not mean a less healthy or less good-looking feline. Not all kittens are chosen by us for a show ring. Kittens with subtle physical differences in ear placement, shade, or pattern of coat do not make suitable show candidates. Our pet quality kittens are still of the highest quality and make beautiful and lovable family pets -- still representing the breed wonderfully. Unless you are a breeder or experienced in showing, it is very unlikely that you will ever notice the difference between show and pet quality. Our pet kittens are moderately priced, which reflects our kittens' outstanding quality.
Show Quality ($4000-4500): These kittens represent almost all of the traits in breed standard. Representing years of hard work and careful selection of pedigrees, they meet breed standards equivalent to Champion and/or above show titles. Most all have good possibilities of higher ranking show titles. You may choose not to show your new kitten. However, we will assist you if you desire to enter a show ring. Rare colors are show quality rate.
Top Show/Breeder Quality ($4500-5500): These cats meet and exceed the expectations for show possibilities and have the potential to carry the highest awards in show titles. In this case, we would keep this quality of cat to be shown and continue in our breeding program. These kittens are rarely sold and if considered for sale would be candidates only to qualified experienced breeders for show and breeding possibilities.

2026 Season Begins! (updated: 3/26)
The season is off to a fantastic start. We have several beautiful, high-quality babies. Serious inquiries welcome!
It's blue skies and flowers over at the cattery, which is welcome news.
Tony and Bridgette gave us 5 colors of the rainbow: one tortie, two brown & white, one blue creme, and one red.
London & Tex (Mainely Ours) gave us four stunning silver and silver whites and Avalon and Skye surprised us with 8!
Avalon & Skye welcomed eight beautiful babies on Pie Day, hence the theme. This is their second litter together (singleton- first litter) and we are pleased to announce that mama and babies are thriving.
OUTLAW- Pittsburgh, PA
My big little one is the weightiest of his littermates. He spends his time playing and snuggling. A wand toy with a big crinkly center is his catnip. He loves to bounce-play. If there's action, he's in it. He loves his puppy friends and can be found tackling his litter mates. He does have a cosmetic issue that makes him pet quality.
AVAILABLE - $3,300

I have found out we have been recommended as a reputable cattery on Reddit (thank you!):

I have bred independently for nine years and kept a meticulous record on health; I do my best to support my pet parents through our health guarantee and act as a lifetime sounding board for our kittens. I am grateful that I have been so fortunate to see my work succeed. This is truly amazing.
PENNY - Pittsburgh, PA
This tortie is a sweetheart. She adores all things feathers and loves being picked up and carried around by a 5-year-old girl. She is in the middle of everything and loves to be front and center. Her favorite chair in the house is Maria's booster seat.
She lives for being petted and snuggled.
AVAILABLE - $3,500
Our 2026-2027 babies range from $3,000-3,500 for pet quality only; health is our top priority. We breed for health, structure, and temperament, and place on personality and fit. We have asked $3,000 for pet quality since 2021. Increasing costs (premium food/vet-care (-10k, so far this year)) have forced us to raise our rate range this year.
Our kings and queens are negative for major breed disorders: HCM, PK Deficiency, and SMA in addition to FELV/FIV; our kings and queens each have ANNUAL ECHOCARDIOGRAMS & HIP AND PATELLA OFA GRADES (normal to excellent) prior to queening. We have TEN GEN pedigrees on all of our cats [TICA requires 3, CFA requires 5, we require 10], allowing us to truly know our lines and speak to our kittens' ancestry.
SUN O'ER SEA'S kittens go home (minimum of twelve weeks) with first and second shots, microchip, rabies, and legally-binding pet contract, after appropriate socialization time with mom and family! WE OFFER OUR PARENTS AN EXCLUSIVE LIFETIME HCM-NEGATIVE GUARANTEE AND LIFETIME BREEDER SUPPORT. There is a reason Sun O'er Sea has been one of the best breeders of Maine Coons since 2016.
