1. Little Lions Cattery desires to keep the lines of communication open between us and the buyers of our kittens and cats. We understand that acquiring a purebred Maine Coon cat can be a daunting experience and we are here at any time to assist with education, guidance and counseling about any aspect of your new fur baby’s life.

2. Little Lions Cattery passionately defends their reputation. We work tirelessly to ensure that we treat all people fairly and without bias. We have an obligation to our animals that they are placed in the most protective and loving environments that we can provide them in terms of a new family/individual. Many times, in this modern era of social media, unfiltered and false statements, and online public trials and verdicts are handed out by self-righteous or perceived “jilted” potential clients. Slander and libelous acts are met with very swift action by our attorneys on retainer to ensure that our interests are protected against willful and/or frivolous accusations or false perceptions that cannot be supported by genuine evidence. We will not hesitate to protect our interests in a court of law to shield our reputation from such people and their actions.
