Background and Experience

Cann-Dee-Apples Cattery is a small cattery located in the spacious home of Joe and
Mary Jo Cannarella of Nashua, New Hampshire. Their cats are not caged, but live as
members of the family. Mary Jo, a professor of nursing, is presently retired. Joe is a
retired US Army Colonel and also a retired sales manager and pharmacist. Both have
backgrounds in medical sciences, and their education and interests have resulted in
this successful and excellent cattery.

Three years ago, Joe built a beautiful addition on the house for the cats and kittens.
Cann-Dee-Apples Cattery is a labor of love, not a kitten mill. The Cannarellas welcome
visitors, and so do the Cann-Dee-Apples cats and kittens! Call or e-mail for an
appointment. You will be introduced to the Cann-Dee-Apples cast of characters and
shown around the cattery. Both Joe and Mary Jo enjoy meeting people and assisting
them. Allow an hour for a visit.
