Velloso

Velloso is a breeder of Maine coons in Chester, VA, serving Chesterfield County and Richmond. Stacia Palomeque follows rigorous health testing and abides by recognized feline registries to ensure each kitten meets breed standards.

Kittens are raised in a home environment with daily socialization alongside adult cats and children to build confidence and friendly temperaments. Careful attention to nutrition and enrichment includes supervised outdoor access in secure enclosures that mimic natural settings. Velloso participates in both CFA and TICA and conducts screenings for common feline health concerns such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and hip dysplasia.

The cattery’s roots in compassionate stewardship reflect a long-standing commitment to match cats with families who appreciate their gentle nature. Kittens leave the cattery with veterinary health certificates and a care guide that outlines feeding schedules and enrichment tips. This practice helps new owners feel prepared and supports a smooth transition into family life.
