Maine Coon

[Eggmanmja01]

I was wondering if anyone may be an owner of a Maine Coon? My wife would like another animal for me to take care of since I only have two cats and a Minni dog.
She would like to preferably get a smoked Grey or Tabby. I have been looking for breeders in the area so feel free to send links and contacts.

Thanks

Coons are very active and will terrorize your house unless it has plenty of outside and/or things to climb and claw . Good luck ! They are amazing cats - very loving, unique, playful - tons of energy. They get larger than most cats.

Try the local animal shelters. You might get lucky, we had a calico Maine Coon that had the "M" on her forehead and the full mane. She was the most loving and one of the biggest cats we ever had. We got her as a kitten and had her for a good 14-15 years. There's a member on here Cat Herder that might be able to help.

On our 2nd. Sweetest cats we ever had. Big and furry. Mostly lazy breed. First lived 17 great years. Only advise I’d give is get a male.

We, have two Now. Great cats. Play rough together, they need a playmate.
one Grey and one Tabby. We got the grey one 3 years ago. Cost a ton of money from a breeder in SC. Other was a rescue. We have had 5 Maine Coons. Pictures later.

I might know a little something about the OP topic

1st of all , a full blooded ( papered) MC from a certified breeder is going to run you in the thousands $$$,
True MC are a high management high maintenance feline, Males can grow to be 30 lbs females about a1/3 smaller, they can take 5 years to be fully grown. MC can have heredity issues,
With that being said they are stunning animals, dog like character, they are awesome I have rescued several over the past decade.
Go to a good shelter, AC might have a MC mix but those are scooped All most as soon as they are processed by the AC

Good luck in your search

Back when I was doing satellite I walked into a guys house and met a Maine coon on the stairs HE WAS HUGE I snuck around his big ass because he wasn't moving from his spot. LOL

We have a large male Maine coon that came from “classy coons” of lake Heartwell. Great people and beautiful cats.
