Thread: Matted Maine coon

I would get your red silver boy shaved at the vet. I have had this done in the past. They do it under mild sedation, not full anaesthetic. He will feel so much happier and more comfortable afterwards. Then once that's done, do get him used to being brushed, little and often, and reward him with a treat so he builds up a positive association with being groomed.

Would love to see pictures, by the way! Poor lads being unwanted. Hope they are settling in well with you.
