We are Diane and John Longley and we live near Doncaster, South Yorkshire with our 2 children.

We have always had a home filled with animals of one kind or another including goats (out side of course!!) but there has always been at least one cat. Sadly we lost our last moggie to old age and even though we had 2 dogs the house felt like it had something missing. A friend suggested we looked at having another cat, a Maine Coon, one look and we were smitten.

2 months later we were bringing home our first Maine coon, Elmcoon Florence and to Helen and Brenda we will be for ever grateful, of course Florence was just the beginning, be warned Maine Coons are addictive !!!

We now have 14 Maine Coons, 2 non pedigree cats,Gypsy & Loui and 3 dogs, Bob, Max and Gemma. All our cats live in doors and have free run of the house, they also have an out door pen which they get into by using the kitchen door which is fantastic during the summer months when the kitchen door is permanently open but in the winter I spend half my day letting the cats out and the other half letting them back in again !!

We like to show our cats and try to show once a month,we would like to show more but young children and John's work commitment makes it hard to do more.We show at GCCF,TICA and FIFe shows. 

We breed these wonderful cats as a hobby but are very serious about what we do,our aim is to breed  kittens of good type and health with good temperaments.
