Maine coon kittens?

Question

I want to buy my sister a maine coon kitten for Christmas, she recently lost the one she had for 9 years. We live in CT and don't want to have to ship the kitten over here, but if we have to we will. Does anyone know of places selling maine coon kittens? Preferably a breeder, I'm not fond of the pet-shop deal. We want to get all the deatils figured out before Christmas and there's only 27 days left to find a kitten! Please if you know of any breeders close to CT, or any breeders at all, let me know! Thanks!!

Answer 1

If your sister is seriously wanting a new cat, take her to get one and pay for it. They won't give you a cat to give as a gift. Lots of breeders require home visits to make sure your pad is worthy of their cat. The ones in NJ are great looking cats. Could she take them both?

Answer 2

Just keep in mind that they can be VERY large. Mine is 16 lbs, and people are always shocked when they see him. "What is that, a dog?" is what I'll often hear. It's amazing how many people are awe-struck at his size. But they have great personalities, and beautiful fur, especially their tales. They are what is classified as "semi-longhair" and most times, they have a particular kind of fur that, although pretty long, actually does NOT require frequent brushing. THey don't tend to "mat" like Persians. I don't know if it's a maine coon thing, but mine has a SEVERE liking for fruits and vegetables. If I'm eating a piece of fruit, he won't leave me alone. I cannot leave tomatoes on the counter to ripen. Couple summers ago I would pick okra for an hour or two in the mornings, and I brought home one that had grown too big to eat (they get tough when they're big). I brought it home to show my mom (who was visiting) how big they'd get if we neglected to see and harvest them for a day or two. This one was a whopper (about 6 inches long and fat). I was shocked when I found it later half-eaten on the floor. Moses (my maine coon) has also eaten half of a corn COB before. THe COB, the part WE don't eat! He dug it out of the trash. Don't know what's wrong with that cat, LOL.

No reputable breeder would sell a pet as a gift and pet shops are NEVER an option to anyone who even remotely likes animals. I recommend visiting the Maine Coon cat fancier's website and finding a breeder. Offer your sister a gift certificate good for one kitten of her choice from this breeder. A good breeder is going to want to check out your sister and make sure she has an ideal home, so the GC would be perfect. Good luck to you. : )

Answer 4

Actual good breeders of Maine Coons would not have kittens available on a moments notice. I know three, one in CT, and they have a WAITING LIST. The wait is usually several litters!!!!

Answer 5

I know of two lovely kittens in New Jersey at a shelter. Please consider adopting them. They are gorgeous animals! We recently lost our Maine Coon cat, and I am falling apart about it. He was a big handsome teddy bear of a cat, and a wicked good mouser to boot.

Check out this link. I'm sure you'll find these kittens to be perfect.
