GETTING TO KNOW US
This group of 10 stunningly gorgeous, purebred, Maine Coon kittens have looks and personality that will stop you in your tracks. They have luxurious coats, of either silver or red silver. Their tails are fluffy plumes, held high and filled with expression. They have silky coats that will require moderate care. At under 8 months old they will not mature completely until 4-5 years old. These kittens are going to be big and glorious!
Once comfortable, they are going to require they be an integral part of the family. They enjoy a good game of rough and tumble play with their kitten friends but they aren’t aggressive or dominant in play style. Kittens do best adopted in pairs or with a home that already has an age and energy appropriate feline companion. A cat savvy and respectful kid 8+ years would be okay. A dog that would respect and ignore them would likely be fine with slow introductions. While they love toys of any kind they prefer interactive play with cats and people over solitary play. Get ready to run through your house with reckless abandon while trailing a wand toy. They all enjoy the cat wheel at their foster home throughout the day/night they’ll hop on and go for a walk or full on sprint. After all that play, nothing is better than cat trees near windows to watch wildlife. They are great at using vertical and horizontal scratchers to stretch. Keep in mind they are very curious kittens and still learning so if there is an undesirable behavior it’s easy to redirect or teach a desired behavior with positive reinforcement. Patience, tolerance and understanding are key with a curious giant-sized kitten. No declawing, not ever! They absolutely adore people, and once integrated will likely sleep on top of a person or snuggling much of the time.
They are perfect with their litter box usage, using a huge (adult Maine Coon size), open-style box with unscented clumping Petsmart Grass Seed litter or Worlds Best cat litter. They have grown wonderfully in the past months eating Honest Kitchen rehydrated food for breakfast and dinner. Fresh, clean water is always available from stainless steel and ceramic cat fountains. Proper litter box husbandry means one litter box per cat, plus an extra. If you have multiple levels to your home, please have at least one box per floor for kitty convenience. Please plan appropriately for growth with extra-large and sturdy everything.
Starting out in a room as basecamp with introductions and access to the home should be at a speed acceptable and safe for kitten and other pets in the home. Please do your research on proper introductions. It can often take up to 3 months for a cat to feel fully comfortable and integrated into a new family. Patience and understanding is of utmost importance.
The group has gone through FIP protocol and are cured. Please educate yourself on FIP, and make sure your vet is up to speed on FIP. Feel free to ask us any FIP questions . A good place to educate yourself on FIP is https://www.fipglobalcats.com/ or their Facebook group of the same name.
The largest of all pedigreed cats, the Maine Coon Cat is known as the gentle giant of the cat world. These shaggy, “super-sized” cats are friendly, sweet-tempered, easy to train and sturdy.
Maine Coon Cats are sociable, loyal, and quite intelligent. They enjoy interacting with every family member and tend to go from one lap to another, rather than choosing a favorite. Fond of water, many will watch a dripping faucet in fascination, wash food or toys, or even try to join you in the shower. Maine Coon cats need a moderate amount of human interaction and will insist upon it when you are available. Their daily conversation may include chirps, trills, and purrs as well as an occasional meow.
An adult Maine Coon Cat will have a thick, luxuriant coat that is shorter at the shoulders, longer on the sides, stomach and back legs, with a dramatically long plumed tail. The head is rectangular in shape, the muzzle square and strong. Ears are dramatically large, typically with prominent tufts, and the cat’s intelligence shines forth in its large curious eyes. Maine Coons are a slow-maturing breed that can take up to five years to reach full growth. It is not unusual for a mature male’s weight to reach or exceed 20 pounds, females are usually smaller.
To control shedding, prevent hairballs, and protect against matting, breeders recommend combing your Maine Coon two or three times a week. These grooming sessions need not take longer than five or ten minutes and will keep the shaggy coat looking its best. Most Maine Coon cats do not require regular bathing, but there’s no doubt that an occasional bath will add to the breed’s natural beauty.
**Maine Coons are prone to gingivitis and it’s imperative to adopt an oral hygiene program which includes daily brushing and proactive dental care. The breed is also a bit on the mouthy side. They like to be chewy and hold fingers and hands and are quite gentle.
