Nashville is one of our most frequent delivery destinations. Dashing Coons is a TICA-registered European Maine Coon cattery in Southern Illinois — Nashville is roughly three hours from our cattery, and we've made that drive many times. We personally deliver every kitten to Nashville families. No cargo, no crates, no strangers. We drive to you.

A Drive We Know Well

Southern Illinois to Nashville is a comfortable drive, and we've done it enough times that the logistics are seamless. We typically coordinate a time that works for your schedule and deliver directly to your home. Nashville families consistently tell us the personal delivery experience is one of the things that sets us apart — you get to meet us, ask last-minute questions, and watch your kitten explore their new home for the first time. It's a better experience than any airport handoff.

What Nashville Families Are Looking For

Nashville buyers tend to be well-researched. They want authentic European structure — tall ear tufts, square muzzles, heavy bone — and they want a breeder who can back up every claim with documentation. Our bloodlines come from Russia and Ukraine, and we test every breeding cat through UC Davis. We've placed kittens with families throughout Middle Tennessee and the greater Nashville area.

Black Smoke, Blue Smoke, and Polydactyl

We specialize in black smoke and blue smoke Maine Coons — kittens born nearly solid black that reveal a stunning silver undercoat over the first year. We also breed polydactyl Maine Coons with the extra-toe trait that traces back to the breed's New England origins. These are rare in Tennessee, and Nashville families who find us often say they searched for months.

In-Person Visits Welcome

Nashville families are always welcome to make the drive to our cattery in Southern Illinois or our Ballwin, Missouri location by appointment. You can meet our breeding cats, see where the kittens are raised, and get a feel for how we operate. We're an open cattery — we encourage visits from serious buyers.
