TELDRASSIL´S
MAINE COON
About us
My name is Therese, who runs Teldrassil's cat breeding.
My husband, I, our three daughters and of course our four-legged family members live in a quiet residential area just outside Gävle. Close to lots of green areas and nature.
I have always had a great interest in animals. In high school I studied animal care and my dream was to become a veterinarian.
But the dream was replaced over time with another big dream, to become a midwife.
Being able to combine two of the things I am very passionate about, maternity care and cats, is the reason why
Teldrassil's was started in 2025.
So why the Maine Coon?
My husband and I bought our first cat together in 2010. A cream-colored, beautiful and incredibly cozy farm cat named August. He has little tufts on his ears, a lovely fluffy mane and is incredibly cuddly.
We heard from his breeder that his father was a Maine Coon and became curious about the breed. Then we were hooked!
In 2023, our fantastic Maine Coon female SE*Ellaskustkatt Ferocia moved into our home, and everyone in the family immediately fell in love with her. Cirilla (Ciri) as she is called to us, has a fantastic temperament, is playful and social. But at the same time a harmonious and safe cat who loves to cuddle. Our cats are part of the family and have free access to the house, as well as the opportunity for limited outdoor time. They are always where we and the children are, and always welcome us home with a Maine Coon's characteristic voice.
Maine Coon is a fantastic breed, unique and with little quirks that are impossible not to fall in love with. They are not called "The gentle giant" for no reason. A large cat breed that may look tough, but are real cuddly cats that love to cuddle and want to be with you wherever it happens.
The dream of raising cats has been in the back of my mind for as long as I can remember.
I've had my tribal name ready for a long time, studied, gained knowledge, took courses and studied some more. But put it off for many years, as education, work and family took up most of my time.
Finally I felt ready and got Teldrassil's registered as a pedigree name and we welcomed our first breeding female in 2025 SE*Crazy Angels Mimmi, or Elune as she was called here at home.
Breeding and breeding work
For me, it is important to have knowledge and to constantly update myself. That is why I have completed the cat breeder training uppfodaretatan through SVERAK and Pawped's first training.
I am very careful about choosing which cats go into breeding, as my main focus in my breeding is that the cat has a pleasant temperament and is healthy.
I health test all breeding animals according to Pawped's Maine Coon health program, which means that all cats that are bred undergo a heart ultrasound annually and undergo an X-ray examination of the hips.
We want safe, social and healthy cats.
Jag är en diplomerad kattuppfödare hos SVERAK och har klarat kunskapstestet, samt utfört kursen UppfödarEttan och PawPeds utbildning G1 med godkänt resultat.

Teldrassil's
The meaning of my tribe
The tribal name Teldrassil's comes from an interest my husband and I have shared for many years.
I love fantasy with elves, dragons and monsters in all its forms, and above all I am extra passionate about my great fantasy universe World Of Warcraft!
Teldrassil is the great tree of life in the game, just like Yggdrasil is the tree of life in Norse mythology. All kittens in my litters will have a name inspired by World Of Warcraft.
But I have another great passion in life, my profession as a midwife. Being able to assist during a birth is one of the most wonderful things there is. The placenta, or the tree of life as it is called, has a great importance when it comes to the creation of a new life.
As a cat breeder, I choose to take on a great responsibility for several small lives, and what could be more fitting than the very symbol of fertility and birth.
The tree of life!
