Hi there!
My name is Marie. I’m looking to get my first cat who I intend to show and breed! I’ve been under the instruction of a registered cattery who I consider to be my mentor for 2 years now. Now comes the hand part: purchasing my stud and my queen. I live in a four bedroom house (married with no children currently) so we have plenty of space for stud housing. I’m currently just looking for more advice from more experienced breeders and advice on my first stud.
My cat of choice is none other than the mainecoon. I’m looking to work with European specimens and produce “small lions” my primary focus will likely be in cream and silver variations, but I do love exotic colors such as tortie, calico, black smoke, and blue. For now, I would primarily like to focus on creating a miniature lion with exceptional temperament. By miniature lion I mean having a wide, defined square muzzle that is proportionate to the face, a quite muscular body shape, enchanting eyes focused in blue, green, and hazel, and of course large in size, but a gentle giant. All of course while staying true to the cream color that I’m after. Right now I have two prospects. One being a cream and silver male, and the other being a white male who I suspect so be some variation of either colorpoint or orange and silver.
This is prospect number one, male “Samuel” born (02/03/2018)
Male 4 weeks old, un named
What say you all?

Beautiful kitten pics. 
Let us know which one you choose.
the only thing that I’m not liking is that the breeder wants me to pay up front, as I asked if she could hold him for me, for a few months until I could finalize everything with studhousing and make sure I get everything on top of the shipping money. I offered to pay a deposit, then in full when I would get him, but she wants payment I’m full in order to hold him. Is this normal? Should I continue with the transaction?
