Our Name: Indra's Net

Indra's Net is a classic image from Hindu mythology of an infinite web of jewels, where each node reflects all the others in an endless dance of interconnection. I chose the name because breeding decisions are linked. Every cat, every family, every generation, every health decision, every lineage, and every home is connected.

Why I breed Maine Coon Cats:

I met my first Maine Coon while I was in college. My neighbor had a solid white Maine Coon. I would take care of her cats when she left town for a show. Eventually, I started showing with her, and she roped me into working with her in Maine Coon rescue. I came to know the incredibly loving and loyal personality of these cats! I also came to know their adorable (and exasperating) quirky behavior, and I was hooked.

Health, temperament, and structure guide my every decision. I chose to keep my program small, and numbers tiny, and my household harmonious, so that I can concentrate on each individual cat.

Hard Lesson Learned:

After 24 years of preservation breeding, I experienced a devastating loss when one of my most beloved cats—GC RW Indra's Net Aldebaran (The Red Baron), my Regional Winner and 5th Best Maine Coon internationally—was murdered by someone I had trusted to care for him.

If you've ever shown a cat to a national ranking, you understand: it's more than titles. It's long hours, deep partnership, a wordless bond forged through travel, training, and shared purpose. He gave me everything. He gave me his trust. And that trust was betrayed. It was a gut punch.

I took time off from breeding to grieve, to stop blaming myself, and to heal through my artwork, and to rebuild my trust—in myself and in my ability to place cats responsibly.

I have a renewed commitment to The Maine Coon Cat and enhanced standards for vetting potential families. Some lessons are learned the hardest way. But they make us better guardians of the cats we love.

The annoying mailing list:

I promise to you that my mailing list is not shared, sold, traded, bartered nor advertised in any way. I use this list for cats, and/or kittens that become available. Occasionally, an original owner passes away, and the Indra’s Net Maine Coon Cat needs a calm, loving landing place to grieve and reconnect. No ads.
