Anyone here have one? We are hopefully adopting our first, a 16 mo old girl, in a few weeks. Would like to hear some feedback if you do on size, personality etc

They are known to have heart disease per my veterinarian. They are apparently really gentle cats with long hair. Lol. That's all I got before I was asked why I was asking when I don't have one...

We aren't getting a kitten. I can't afford it either. She's 16 months and has food allergies to processed cat food. The breeder brought her in from Florida and now with the allergies doesn't want to use her in her cattery for breeding. The cat will do better on a raw food diet and our Persian has always been on a raw food diet. It's a good fit and the breeder is being very kind and letting us adopt her with no fees

That's cool. Kind of how I got my rag doll

We have a Maine Coon and this bread is incredible

I always dreamed about a big cat! I'd like to have Main Coon. This breed has a magnificent appearance. I read here https://www.cаtfoodpoint.com/largest-domestic-cat-breeds/ that the two world records for longest and oldest domestic cats in the world were Maine Coons. One was 1.2m long and the second reached the age of twenty-six.

Twister, my daughters cat from many moons ago

Beautiful!

My brother in law been wanting one. How much is a juvi?

 

[alton]

Looking online in Texas $1800 to $2500, nationally up to $5K. 5x more than we paid years ago. FYI there are all kinds of rules that apply and you have to go to an interview to make sure you are qualified to keep one. You are not allowed to become a breeder and why it is so heavily controlled.

 

[isseym328]

Makes sense Alton it's a cash cat. Thanks for the numbers so you can get them cheaper in Texas...do you know why?

This is Valo my main coon boi... it's a rescued cat so it's a mixed coon. He's still young but sure they grow up to be chonky bois!

I have no idea, sorry. I am sure it is a supply and demand thing and all breeders stick together. We started in San Antonio with a breeder and they recommended one in Austin, she liked us so we where able to purchase Twister.

Well I may have misspoken I just found a litter between San Antonio and Austin and they are asking $3,750
