It Breaks Our Hearts...
Having read a previous post where no-one could home one poor little Mainecoon I realise this is even more unlikely but anyway...
We've had our Mainecoon boys (Pedigree) for 19 months and we need a loving home that they can go to, of course for free to the right home/owner.
Allow me to explain...
We had only had our beautiful Mainecoon neutered boys, Bailey and Jasper (Brothers) for 14 months when our Baby was born (Our 1st and only), he only sleeps 2 hours at a time and quickly we realised the 'boys' were being neglected. Two weeks ago we had to have them shaved as Jasper had become incredibly knotty, Bailey only had a couple of knots but as us owners tend to do we imagined them to be human and thought they might not like it if they looked different to each other so had them both shaved the same. They are indoor only cats because of where we live but even this is already proving to be problematic with needing windows and doors open from time to time etc. We've spent the last four months pretending we're coping and that there isn't a problem but it just isn't fair on our Cats. We used to play with them so much and groom them (attempt to as it would be more play time than groom time) probably every other night. The only thing more cruel and unfair than them staying with us would be for them to be separated, they are each others shadow. We're in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England but obviously we are willing to travel with-in reason in order to see there potential new home/owners. If you or someone you know is looking for two Mainecoon cats then please contact me. Thank you, Graham.

Thank you, they are brilliant little kitties, Bailey's the lap cat and Jasper prefers to sit nxt to you. Going to miss them so much. Thanks again. I should have put in the original post that all toys, litter box, bowls etc and a 6' 6" scratch post will be included if the owner wants them.

Could I suggest you contact Lynnette Cannell, rehoming officer for the Maine Coon Breed Society?:
Retiredfriends
She may be able to put them on the website for you.
Good luck with your search. You're doing the best thing for the cats, however hard it is for you

Thank you for that, I will get onto it tonight when I get in from work. I know it will be for the best but it doesn't make it any easier. Thanks again, Graham.

Tired but waiting for reply. I optioned a kitten today but have rung breeder who immediately said "you've see that thread?". Fingers, toes and eyes crossed now xxx

I tried not to respond to this too...........it's a little too close to home. So far I've been lucky in a similar circs, two young MC's then a surprise pregnancy and then a baby who is known as sleep dodger and at six months still does not sleep through the night!
My heart goes out to you but I like catslaves fostering idea, I hope everything works out for you.
