Thread: Looking for 2 long-haired tabby Maine Coon kittens

Good luck with your search, MCC are wonderful family pets, great with children and they always want to be where the action is.
Unless I'm mistaken all Maine Coon Cat are long haired.

One of my boys was semi-short haired (Dicky) but it has grown longer now. I have seen a shorter haired fully grown MC boy at a show too. Cute. Like a shaved lion

But, back to the OPs request - my personal view is:

1. Do NOT choose either the breeder or the kittens solely on adverts, wherever you saw them and however professional or friendly it appears
2. Meet breeders (and their cats) at a cat show or through recommendations, like this forum
3. Plan ahead and meet the prospective kittens *early* (I first met mine at 2 weeks old)
4. Be prepared to let a litter go past and don't jump in - you will be sharing your life with these complete BEASTS for anything up to 15-20 years
5. Be prepared to travel to visit them as they grow - I drove from London to Brum about 4 times over the course of 8 weeks
6. If a breeder is cagey about you visiting, walk away

Good luck and keep us up-to-date. This forum is a great resource - but also try Pet Forums Community - Pet Owners Social Community Forum for Dogs, Cats and other Pets for a wider range of dicsussions about things like food and care - the more information, the better.
