Jason busby:
Thanks I have learnt a lot all ready. I have looked in the sites you said about I saw one called monty but he is in Stafford which is a bit to far even though I can travel a bit

Judecat (Paula):
Good luck Jason, don't be a stranger, you can pick up some really good tps, both before and after you get your new friend. I know you have previously had cats, but I have learned so much from here and I have had cats for nearly 40 years.

Take care Honey,

Jason busby:
Ok thanks I will try that

Jason, there is a GCCF registered breeder in Somerset with a Maine Coon boy for sale.

I wouldn't take the info at face value, and would want to check him out in his home environment, if he's still available.  Also worth checking our the GCCF accreditation.  There also two kittens from a GCCF breeder in Fareham on there, which might be worth investigation.

Sue P (Paddysmum):



Jason, it may be worthwhile contacting one or two breeders outside your area, if there are no cats available for adoption closer to home.  They may be able to recommend a reputable breeder within travelling distance for you.

If you have a patio garden, it might be quite a simple undertaking to fit cat proofing to your boundary walls/fences, which would offer them a safe place for outside access, whilst still satisfying a breeder's requirements for indoor homing.

If you visit the Maine Coon Cat Club, they have a PDF of contacts for Maine Coon breeders throughout the UK.   As you don't mind waiting, it might also be a smart move to contact Battersea Dog and Cat Shelter - they can put your name on their books, and if they get a suitable Maine Coon rescue in, they will contact you.  They have three homing sites, so you never know, it may not take long.   :hug:
