Bovey cattery breeds Maine Coons with a focus on health
BOVEY — For Holly Buescher, the love of Maine Coons began with one very special cat, but it has grown into something much bigger than she ever imagined. Today, through TheraCoonzzz of Minnesota, she shares that same love with families across the country, one kitten and one forever home at a time.
