Title: Maine Coons
Post by: lisa77 on July 30, 2007, 13:40:03 PM

Hi All

Im after breeders in UK near Buckinghamshire for the above.



(But am willing to travel)

Does anyone know of any ?

Also could someone who has Maine Coons give me a bit of info..

I have read & read over the past months & have made the decision to buy a kitten. From what I have read they are more than happy to be kept indoors & walked on a lead.. is this true ?

Obviously I dont want to keep a cat indoors if it will be unhappy ..

Any other advice would be great
thanks guys

Check out these links for maine coon GCCF affiliated cat clubs - they usually have kitten lists and contact details for club members who co-ordinate the kitten lists.

If this is your first pedigree cat, it's also worth checking out the following links to help know what to look for in a breeder

Feline advisory bureau also have good advice on what to look for - www.fabcats.org/ but I seem unable to open their site at the moment - maybe it's blocked at work.

Maine Coons are gorgeous and can grow very big.  It's a good idea to go to a cat show to see some and chat to breeders.
