Thread: The price of your Miane Coon

I don't know about breeders in America and I'm sure there's more variation over there but when I was looking here in the UK I found that there was a pretty standard price for a pet quality MC (give or take £25- £50). I didn't find that too many breeders put prices on their websites but rather you had to contact them for more information, including the cost of one of their kittens.

I'm sure some US dwellers on here can help you out! Speak to several breeders and you'll soon find one you click with - I would say that the price shouldn't be the main issue if there's a sort of 'typical' price. I'd be wary of any breeders selling kittens very cheaply.

Considering that your adding a member to your family who will love you and be part of your life for 14-20 years?
The price is well worth it.
A reputable breeder take advantage in the advances in Veterinary Medicine to screen their breeding cats for some of the hereditary medical conditions that these cats may have, this is costly, but you end up with a cat that should live a long and healthy life.
My Samantha lived for 16 years 5 days and was never sick for more then a day in her entire life.
Use the web to find the breeders in your area then e-mail them.

That's all true...... I just don't think I could spend $900 on one now.... you know? But I definitely want my Maine Cone soon....I think I could do $400-$500.... I know that sounds bad but I don't make a lot of money.... =/

Is $900 a normal price for an MC in the US??

That's more than I was expecting it to be.

We saved for a while before getting ours although we were planning for two so had some money left aside for 'later',,,

The breeder I contacted in California charges $700 for females and $800 for males.
Some breeders charge more or less depending on if the cat is show or pet quality, sometimes markings or less then perfect conformation can lower the price.
This organization rescues Maine Coons and Maine Coon Mixes and find homes for them.

hmmm well I figured the deposit would be like $250 and then maybe an additional $300. So I'm gonna try and save about $600.... I really like this place too!

I've seen that rescue and gone through a lot of the cats and found one I liked SO I guess I'll have to go back to the site around the time I'm ready to get one I found another really good site too that I liked....
