My husband and I have had many shelter pets in our family for many years. This was our first time working with the breeder and while we did our research and felt very comfortable with Erin and Freedom Mountain, there were still a lot of unknowns as we started the process. We clearly made the right decision as Erin was great throughout the entire process. She communicated well and thoroughly, was easy to access and was very helpful as we worked through the unknowns and adoption process. Our new boy Bennie (formally known as Bodie) is an amazing, handsome, and not so little boy anymore. He was clearly well raised, healthy, well socialized, and has become well ingrained in the family including our two existing shelter cats. While we are unlikely to adopt any pets in the near term, if we do again in the future, we will definitely work with Erin and Freedom Mountain Maine Coons again. Thanks Erin!!
