about us

 

Somnolentia Maine Coons is recently moved and currently based out of Tennessee, U.S. Our cattery is currently dual registered with both TICA and the CFA. Our kittens are typically registered through TICA, and we will provide cattery certificates upon request.

 

Somnus.

Owner. They/Them.

Somnus is the owner of Somnolentia Maine Coons, and they have been working with both tame and feral cats since they were a child! When they aren’t working, Somnus can be found sleeping with a pile of cats on top of them. Somnus has played video games so long that 8-bit Pokemon theme songs play in their head non-stop, and they spend their days arguing about who is the better Avatar—it’s Korra, btw.

 

AJ.

Photographer. He/Him.

AJ is a former dog-enthusiast-turned-cat-lover, is notorious for picking favorites among the cats, and refuses to help with the outstanding amount of litter boxes in the cattery. He spends his days baby-talking the cats, crying over pictures of the cats, stirring the meat for their food, and trying to work out while cats attack him. He is obsessed with cheese, and has an alternate ego called Lawyer AJ.

 

Cerina.

Youngest helper. She/Her.

Cerina loves playing with the cats and is obsessed with kittens! She helps out with cleaning up after the cats, scaring them awake, and suffers from cuteness agression. Her favorite cats are Ushiko and Isadora.

 

Isabella.

Cheating on her own cat. She/Her.

Isabella is the go-to helper when Somnus and AJ are out-of-town and socialized several of the most recent kittens. She spends her time loving on her own cat, Toothless (pictured here), contemplating quitting her job, and staring at her ceiling in a depressive funk.

Let’s go, lesbians!!

This cattery is queer-owned and operated, and we are happy to have our kittens in homes where we know they’ll be safe, happy, and loved. Unfortunately, if you’re homophobic, transphobic, etc., then it might be best if you look elsewhere for a kitten.
