Kittens For Sale

Maine Coons are what we like to call “puppy-cats”. They are large, affectionate and very social cats. Our favourite features of a Maine Coon are: their wild look/expression, their gentle (and sometimes clumsy) nature, how adaptable they are and how they love being around other MC’s, but also other species & animals. We’ve seen MC’s alongside many types of friends – doggos, rabbits, birds, human kids, and of course other MC’s!  

They have long hair with a naturally shaggy coat (and an undercoat). It does need regular grooming to maintain. In their full winter coats, they are very luxurious. The silver colours can shed and tangle more. Their coat acts as protection from both cold and heat. They can tolerate a huge range of temperatures. Generally, shaving or short grooms are reserved for medical conditions. They do not need to be shaved in hot weather. 

Females are usually around 4-9kg, and males can reach 6-12kg ++. Although they are the largest domestic breed – please remember that it’s NOT all about size, or having the biggest male. 

The temperament and health should be the first and foremost consideration for anyone – pet owner or breeder. A big cat is great, but keep in mind that the bigger the cat, the higher the risk of hip problems and other joint issues. Their growth needs to be in proportion to their skeletal structure. 

Colours!

Base colours: black or red
Dilute gene: blue or cream (diluted from black/red)
Tortiseshell: mix of black/red or blue/cream
White: a masking colour, it lays over the top of their base colour, can be solid white, or partial white (often called bicolour)
Patterns: solid or tabby
Tabby types: classic, mackerel or ticked
Inhibitor gene: causes smoke (on solids) or silver (on tabbies). It’s the same thing, just a different name according to the pattern. Any cat with silver/smoke requires a lot more grooming than those without. Just something to keep in mind.  

Despite all the lovely colours and shades… this should always come secondary to health and type.

They are very intelligent and some like to be trained. Some of ours play fetch! Many of our kittens go on to be “adventure cats” with their humans. They visit beaches, parks, shops (like Bunnings where they are allowed), travelling and so much more! Most of them have a fascination with water. If taking them outside on a harness and lead catches your fancy, they have no problems with adapting to this, and it can be very enriching for them! 

Not all of them are lap-cats (about 50% depending on their individual personalities). However, they will be your constant shadow, a supervisor to all your business, and a conversationalist! They are extremely chatty, and they’ll meow and chirp along with you if you talk to them. 

They can also become an addiction haha! It’s hard to stop at one.
