Thread: Maine Coon wanted

Hello,

Greenwich chap here, looking to give a Maine Coon cat a good home.

Been looking for some time, but I seem to just speak to people trying to scam me at the moment!

I wouldn't necessarily be after a kitten, a rescue or rehomed cat would also suit.

I don't want to spend a fortune, but will pay upto £250 or so for a kitten.

I'm friendly and responsible, and have fallen somewhat in love with Maine Coons, I just need one of my own!

Any help or advice would be hugely appreciated.

Kind Regards,


Luke

Hi there! have you tried the site called preloved? thats where I found my kitten.
You can look for one near to you so you can go check it out before you part with
your money. My boy is not a pedigree but I met both his parents and his
siblings and it was not difficult to tell that they were maine coons, not moggies being passed
off as MCs. These were big cats with lovely laid back temperaments.
Good luck with your search and let us know how you get on

Contact the Maine Coon Breed Society or the Maine Coon Cat Club - they usually have cats needing to be rehomed for a number of reasons:

Good luck with your search

Thanks ever so much for you advice folks, it's hugely appreciated!

Emailed a few people, so fingers crossed, will keep you updated

No luck from any of the shelters/rescue centres I've emailed so far. Apparently Maine Coon's are just too loveable for anyone to give away! Hoping i'll find one on Preloved or something like that now, i'm nothing if not determined!

Oh, I don't mind paying.

I just figured it'd be best to look for a rescue cat or something first.

I think i'd still find it tricky to pay the £350+ that some people ask, given that i'd be buying all the cat stuff at the same time, but I shall wait and see, I guess!
