When I started looking for a kitten I went on to the Maine Coon Cat Club website - it claims to be the official UK site for MC's, and on there it covers patterns, colours and breeders; you find your region in the breeders list and go from there. I live in Surrey and found six within an hours drive. I then went on to each website and emailed the breeders and went from there. I've attached a link to the site, check out the left hand side for links to breeders, colouring and a guide to buying MC kittens.

Some breeders put clauses into the purchase, i.e. I won't get Freyja's pedigree papers until I've had her spayed and can confirm that to the breeder. Others can insist that the cats must be indoor cats - make sure you check before you proceed in case you're not happy with the conditions.

Happy hunting, keep us posted!
