Ariya

Ariya is a Maine coon cattery in Lake Cowichan, British Columbia on Vancouver Island near Vancouver. It has been breeding classic lines for more than ten years and follows national breed council guidelines for health screenings of hips, heart, and eyes. Every cat lives indoors in a family home with access to safe outdoor enclosures and gentle socialization from kitten age.

The cattery emphasizes balanced nutrition and environmental enrichment, offering climbing spaces and daily interaction. Svetlana Frantsishko’s background in animal behavior shapes a calm atmosphere where each kitten learns to adapt to household routines before joining its new family.

Many former kittens have found roles as affectionate companions and occasional therapy visitors at local care facilities. The cattery sits on two acres of forested land, providing supervised outdoor exploration on secure platforms. Ariya takes part in regional cat shows and wellness events to stay connected with the breed community.
