Welcome to Sylverwood Maine Coons. We are located north of the River Tay in Angus, Scotland. As new breeders, we aim to produce cats with good bone, type and conformation, in line with the breed standard.

The Maine Coon was originally the American wild cat. It shows all the characteristics of a typical hunter:  large eyes and ears, essential for detecting prey,  a big, muscular body and a fair turn of speed. Living mainly on farms it was highly valued by farmers for its ability to catch vermin.

It’s easy to see that the Maine Coon is a cold climate animal; it has a long silky coat, impressive ruff and trousers, ending in a long bushy tail.  Paws are huge and sprout tufts of hair between the toes. Underneath the top coat is a softer undercoat. It is not a fluffy cat like the Persian, the coat is designed to keep the Maine Coon warm and dry.

They are generally friendly cats, get on well with other pets and are pretty laid back characters.
