Year -- International BEST ALLBREED KITTEN of the Year
-- Mid-Atlantic Region |

Born: 6/24/06
Black Smoke Tortoiseshell Female
Sire: IW, SGC SaraJen
Scoresby Our 'Bella Bellini' is one of our wonderful young females. She has a beautiful, sculpted 'Maine Coon' head, with a perfect scoop, a strong chiseled muzzle and chin, tall tall ears and perfectly set eyes (yes, I know -- we're a little prejudiced here...). But the judges on the show circuit seemed to agree, since she finished the 2006/2007 show year as the 5th highest scoring allbreed kitten internationally! Then in only three shows as an adult she achieved the highest award of Supreme Grand Champion!! We are thrilled, and she is modest! She had a cardiac ultrasound in April 2007, March 2009, June 2011: all were normal. She is also negative for the HCM genetic mutation. More Pictures of Bellini! |

| 'Remy' |
|
Double Grand Champion Kelimcoons Remy Red of SaraJen |
|
Born: 9/4/07 Red Classic Tabby and White Female Sire: RW Kelimcoons
Moose Tracks Remy Red -- "the Remster" - came to us from the wonderful folks of Kelim Coons Maine Coons in New Hampshire - Kim, Kelly and Rita Berg. We are so pleased to have Remy here with us. Not only is she a gorgeous example of the breed, she's just totally full of herself, and I say that in a nice way! A red tabby girl is a little out of the ordinary; but this sweetie is way out of the ordinary. When I gave her her first show bath, I thought she might be a Persian instead of a Maine Coon, her coat was that long and luxurious! Oh, and she has a lovely head, great big ears, a lovely expression and a good strong muzzle -- all of which make up a wonderful package. Plus, her temperament is friendly, loving, outgoing and inquisitive. Unfortunately, Remy was unable to maintain her pregnancies, which sometimes happens with these girls, even though they are otherwise healthy, and so we spayed her. The Remster had a cardiac ultrasound in May, 2008 and was free of HCM at that time. She is also negative/negative for the HCM gene mutation. |

She is very talk and long in the body, with a beautiful head -- long, boxy muzzle, square chin, huge ears, lovely scoop to her profile. She has great size and boning for a female, without being one bit chubby. We think she is terrific! As it turns out, the judges seem to think she's pretty hot stuff, too, since she became a Grand Champion at her very first adult show!! By only her fourth show she had progressed all the way to a Supreme Grand Champion -- way to go, Rosie!! She finished as 11th Best Allbreed Cat in the TICA Mid-Atlantic Region for 2002-2003! Rosie had her first cardiac sonogram in November 2002 and was clear of HCM at that time. |

Winner and Triple Grand Champion Coonpulsive Skyy of SaraJen Pedigree |
|
Born: 10/31/01
Brown Classic Tabby Female
Sire: RW, SGC
Coonpulsive's Big Bend Skyy is our fairly new fabulous brown classic tabby girl. She is a granddaughter of 'Lucy.' Lucy's daughter, Virginia, went to live at Patty Koehler's cattery (Coonpulsive) and was ultimately bred to the handsome and ever-charming 'Benny.' There were many lovely kitties out of that breeding but we think we have the 'star' with Skyy. She has an exquisite head -- square, boxy muzzle, gentle scoop to her profile, HUGE and perfectly placed ears with lots of lynx tipping, big expressive eyes, and good boning. She is a moderately warm brown classic tabby with very clear markings. But above all, she has a wonderful 'love me - I love you' disposition, which she displays by her head butts and rumbling purrs. She was shown in only 4 TICA shows as a kitten during the 2001-2002 show year, but she won so consistently and placed so highly that she earned the honor of Best Maine Coon Cat Kitten in the entire Mid-Atlantic Region for the year, as well as being the 12th Best Allbreed Kitten in the Mid-Atlantic. As an adult she achieved the title of Quadruple Grand Champion and finished as 10th Best Longhair Cat in the TICA Mid-Atlantic Region for the 2002-2003 show year. Skyy had her first cardiac sonogram November 2002 and she was clear of HCM at that time. |

Grand Champion SaraJen Dixie Stinger Pedigree |
| Born: 12/6/02 Black
and White Bi-Color Sire:
IW, SGC SaraJen Jaegermeister This little chickie is such a piece of work! Little Miss Dixie! Loves to play and is quick as a fox. And loving to a fault. Given half a chance she'd ride around on your shoulders all day. Although a black and white cat is difficult to show off well, once the judges took a good look at her they generally like what they see. She has a nice long body, she's very solid, she has an extra long, lovely tail and she stands tall on her legs. Her muzzle is very boxy, she has a gentle scoop to her profile, she has very large, expressive eyes and her ears are large and perfectly set. We're anxious to see what she will produce. Dixie had a cardiac ultrasound in Dec. 2003 and is clear of HCM at this time. |

Winner, Triple Grand Champion Mainesuspect India Pale of SaraJen Pedigree |
| ICA Regional
Winner & Triple Grand Champion
Born: 6/26/00 Silver Classic Tortoiseshell Tabby ('Torbie') Female Sire:
RW, SGC SaraJen
Bookers Kentucky Straight India was such a fabulous welcome addition to our cattery. She is a gorgeous silver classic tortoiseshell tabby, sired by one of our boys (now retired), Tuck. She is breathtaking to view, with her silky, silver and white coat tinged with red. Beside the beauty of her coat she has wonderful head type, excellent boning, and a purrsonality that melts your heart. We thank Sherry Deloney of Mainesuspect cattery for this scrumptious creature. India had two litters with us, but had difficulty on her third and we decided it was in her best interest to spay her. My wonderful vet, Dr. Marcus Brown of Capital Cat Clinic in Arlington, had always adored India (who wouldn't??) and so she went to live with him. Er.... well, actually she runs his clinic now. She's the resident diva in their beautiful, home-like clinic, allowing all who enter to admire her. She also 'assists' the office folks with the clinic paperwork by draping her long, gorgeous body across their dual desk workstation and covering up whatever documents she wants -- whenever she wants. India was ultrasounded August, 2001 and November, 2002 and was free of HCM at that time. |

| 'Tess' |
| Champion
SaraJen Tennessee Tea Pedigree |
| Born: 3/22/04 Tortoiseshell Sire:
IW, SGC SaraJen Jaegermeister Tess is the first tortoiseshell we've ever bred and kept for our breeding program. When she was a very young kitten I was keeping my fingers crossed that her type would be such that she would be a showcat -- and 'hooray' -- that's the way it worked out. So she had to stay. She does have very good type, with large ears, a nice gentle scoop to her profile, a good, strong chin, and even large eyes -- which is sometimes hard on a non-tabby cat. She has great boning, complements of her sturdy parentage, and is just a lovely example of the breed. As a plus, she is a 'dark face' tortie, given her a somewhat mysterious air (she is about 6 months old in these pictures). Even though she is a tortie, her general temperament is very friendly and nice. She only started to show some 'tortietude' at show when she turned about 10 months old, and then we decided it was time to let her stay home. She was able, though, to make some finals toward her Grand Championship. Tess had a cardiac ultrasound in March 2005 and is clear of HCM at this time. |

SaraJen Scoresby Mili is a charming girl, full of inquisitiveness and spunk! She also happens to have lovely 'type', with her huge ears, nicely scooped profile and extremely desirable Maine Coon 'look'. She has a wonderful coat, strong boning and she has grown into a beautiful big girl! Unfortunately, she could not become pregnant so we reluctantly had to spay her. But she will be a wonderful companion. She had a cardiac ultrasound in April 2007 and it was normal. She is also negative for the HCM genetic mutation. The picture above was taken when she was 9 months old. |
