Hello and Welcome Maine Coon Cat fanciers.  We are so pleased you chose to take a closer look at Hollishill Maine Coon Cats.  We are Joanne and Joe Ezepek, owners and operators of Hollishill Maine Coon Cats located in the foothills of Ossippee Mountain in Southern Maine.  Hollishill is a small not for profit, hobby cattery registered in TICA, CFF, CFA and ACFA.  We are dedicated to the preservation of the breed standard for the Maine Coon Cat and the continuous improvement of health through genetic analysis.  What we're really saying is that our goal is to produce healthy, beautiful Maine Coon Cats that we can share with you, the Maine Coon Cat fancier.

We became Maine Coon Cat fanciers ourselves in spring 2002 after hearing countless stories from local Mainers about their infamous and much loved "Coon Cats."  That's when we decided to contact local breeders of the Maine Coon Cat to see for ourselves the attraction to this special breed.  Carol Pedley of Le Beau Minu Maine Coon Cats was gracious enough to share with us her 30 + years of experience showing and breeding Maine Coon Cats.  We purchased our first Maine Coon Cat from Carol, a brown classic tabby who we named Mori and exhibited him in the Alter Class.  Needless to say, we were immediately hooked and have continued to show our Maine Coon Cats since November 2003.  We have also worked hard to build a breeding program by selecting cats with pedigrees that we believe will lead us to achieving our standards for health and beauty.  The process of selection has been challenging but we are grateful for the support we've received from Carol and other breeders that share our vision.
