About

Hi, we’re Brian and Melissa Aderhold, the heart behind Upstate Maine Coon in Anderson, South Carolina.

Our journey with Maine Coons started the way it does for many people — we fell in love with their personalities. These cats are unlike any other: playful yet gentle, independent yet loyal, majestic yet incredibly goofy. Once we welcomed our first Maine Coon into our home, we knew we were hooked for life.

What began as a passion quickly turned into a calling. We wanted to share the joy of these incredible cats with others who would love them as much as we do. Every kitten we raise is part of our family before they become part of yours. They grow up underfoot in our home, surrounded by the everyday sounds of family life, so they’re well-socialized, curious, and confident by the time they’re ready for their forever families.

For us, breeding Maine Coons isn’t just about looks or pedigrees — it’s about raising happy, healthy companions that bring warmth and laughter to the families they join. We focus on health, temperament, and that signature Maine Coon charm.

Living in Anderson, SC, gives us the best of both worlds — a warm, welcoming community and plenty of space for our cats to thrive. Our home is full of purrs, headbutts, and the sound of big fluffy paws padding around, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

We’re so glad you’ve found us, and we can’t wait to help you discover the joy of life with a Maine Coon.
