Dog-like personality
Native to Maine, evolved naturally in harsh winters. One of the oldest natural breeds in North America with working cat origins.

Known as "gentle giants" - loyal, trainable, and social. Often greet owners at door and can learn to walk on leash. Excellent with children.
Continue growing until 3-5 years old. Males can reach 25+ pounds when fully grown. Patience required for full development assessment.
Essential guidelines for breeding healthy, well-tempered Maine Coon cats
Male Maine Coons (Studs)
18 months to 8 years
Female Maine Coons (Queens)
18 months to 7 years
Maine Coons mature slowly, reaching full size at 3-5 years. Wait for full development before breeding for healthiest outcomes.
Comprehensive testing ensures you're preserving the health and vigor of this magnificent breed.
Queens: Maximum 2 litters per year, 3-4 litters lifetime
Minimum 8 months between litters due to larger litter sizes
Maine Coons often have larger litters (4-6 kittens). Allow adequate recovery time for queens.

Hi, yes, I’m planning a future mating for my stud in about 6 months. In the meantime, he’s still available if someone wants him before then
Lei

We found a lovely female cat through Petmeetly, and she mated with our male cat. We’re now expecting kittens soon! We also discovered another perfect candidate—our male cat has already mated with one, and will mate with the other once she reaches maturity. We’re so glad to have this platform—it truly helped us find the right matches

Comprehensive health testing and careful breeding preserves the vigor and longevity of these magnificent cats
Genetic testing available for MyBPC3 mutation. Annual echocardiogram screening essential for all breeding cats. Early detection enables management and informed breeding decisions.
X-ray screening recommended for breeding cats. Select partners with good hip scores. More common in Maine Coons due to large size. Proper nutrition during growth helps prevention.
Genetic test available - both parents must be tested. Carriers can be bred to clear cats safely. This simple test prevents affected kittens entirely.
Genetic testing available. Less common in Maine Coons than Persians but testing recommended. Ultrasound screening also available for older breeding cats.
Genetic testing available for PK deficiency. Both parents should be tested before breeding. Prevents anemia and associated health issues in offspring.
Genetic testing for PRA variants recommended. Annual eye examinations by veterinary ophthalmologist. Preserve vision health in future generations.
Regular dental examinations and cleanings. Maine Coons prone to gingivitis. Good dental hygiene prevents systemic health issues.
Monitor weight carefully - large size doesn't mean overweight. Proper portion control essential. Obesity exacerbates joint and heart issues.
Large size puts stress on joints. Glucosamine supplements recommended. Maintain lean body condition throughout life.
Regular grooming 2-3 times weekly prevents matting. Water-resistant coat requires special attention during shedding seasons.
