Nativeroots

Nativeroots, run by Michelle Tocher, specializes in Maine Coon cats in Raymond, Maine, serving southern Maine near Portland. Michelle Tocher brings over a decade of experience in selective breeding and adheres to breed association guidelines for health testing, including screening for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and hip dysplasia.

Kittens grow up in a home setting alongside family life, with daily social interaction, supervised exploration of indoor spaces, gentle handling and routine veterinary checkups to support their development and temperaments. Each cat is registered with a respected pedigree organization, and many have pedigrees tracing back to regional foundation lines known for robust health and friendly dispositions.

Several adult cats from Nativeroots have been recognized at local cat shows for their type, health and calm demeanor, earning ribbons in open and pedigree classes. Michelle Tocher is committed to ongoing education in feline health and behavior, staying current with emerging best practices.
