Maine Coon Kitty Hunt: Round 2

Mon, 19 Feb 2018 12:15:38 +0000

Following our initially discouraging attempt to get our first Maine Coon kitten (discussed in my Maine Coon Kitty Hunt: Round 1 post), we kept pushing and made connections with various Maine Coon Breeders that were all very easy to talk to and seemed quite knowledgeable.

After another several weeks, it all came together wonderfully we and we now have a little ~11week old Maine Coon kitten.

List of Maine Coon Breeders We Had Positive Contact With

Note this is not an exhaustive list or a paid ad or anything. This is just my personal list of breeders that responded to my initial out-reach and then continued to chat with us. I sent out messages to quite a few breeders and roughly half of them never even responded.

New beginnings

Upon the natural end-of-life of the last of cherished Himalayans, we’ve mobilized in our quest to introduce in to our family two Maine Coon kittens. We’ve been planning our pivot to Maine Coons for about 4 years now and we’ve casually attended cat shows to further affirm this is another suitable breed choice for us.

Our first serious Maine Coon Breeder candidate

The first breeder we got fairly involved with is Mariama, based in Sudbury, Ontario. We’d identified other prospects far closer to home (Alberta), but we fell in love with Mariama’s impressive photos.
