The Woodpile Humans are Jan, Peter, Stefani, and Kaiti Dell.  We live on two acres just outside of Yakima, Washington in a home we built ourselves in 1996.  Peter and I actually met at a dog show (we showed dogs for many many years) so it wasn't a huge leap to showing cats.  And although Peter generally doesn't "do" cat shows, he is very supportive of our hobby, and takes excellent care of home and hearth so that Stefani and I, and occasionally Kaiti, can attend shows.

Both Peter and I are very active in our community, in civic, political, and business organizations.  We feel it is extremely important to give back to the community that has given us so much.  Our children are also very involved - in sports, school, and many other activities.  Family is our first priority, and the Maine Coons have been a wonderful addition to that family.  We spend a great deal of time socializing and caring for our kittens, and strive to produce happy, healthy kittens with great temperaments.  We love to share our love of these wonderful creatures with others as well. 

Because our free time is very precious to us we show kittens by appointment only.  If you think you might be interested in one of our wonderful Maine Coons, please send us an e-mail (woodpilemcs@aol.com) and we'll be happy to send you our kitten questionnaire.  In the meantime, please enjoy the wonderful cats pictured in our website.
