Like all breeds, Maine Coons have some inherited risks. The best known are hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and hip dysplasia. Choosing a breeder who selects healthy bloodlines is the best protection.

HCM is a thickening of the heart muscle and is the most common heart disease in cats. Responsible breeders screen breeding cats, and your vet can check your cat over time.

Pet kittens are normally spayed or neutered. Your vet will advise on the best timing, and your contract sets out our terms.

Kittens usually learn to use a litter box from their mother and littermates. Give yours a low, easy-to-reach box and keep it clean. Most settle in within days.

A healthy Maine Coon typically lives about 15 years. Good nutrition, vet care and an indoor life all help.

Siberians can live up to 19 years with good care. Regular vet visits and a healthy weight make a real difference.

Call your vet first for any illness, then contact us. Your five-year health guarantee and our ongoing support are there for exactly this reason.

We recommend that every cat is microchipped. Ask us about the kitten you are interested in, and talk to your vet about microchipping at your first visit.

Males commonly weigh 13 to 18 pounds and females 8 to 12 pounds, but our Maine Coons are larger than usual. Our own Esik is a 26 lb International Champion. They can reach about three feet long with the tail.

Maine Coons mature slowly. Most reach full size between three and five years old.

Yes. They are known for a gentle, sociable temperament, which makes them wonderful family companions. Teach children to handle a kitten calmly.

Usually yes. Introduce new pets slowly, give each animal its own space at first, and reward calm behavior.

They have a semi-long, water-resistant coat that mats less than you might expect. Brush two to three times a week, and more during shedding season.

Yes, moderately. Shedding rises in spring and autumn, so regular brushing keeps it under control.

No. No cat is completely allergen-free, and Maine Coons are not considered hypoallergenic. If allergies are a concern, look at our Siberians and spend time with the kitten first.

They are chatty in a soft way, with chirps and trills rather than loud meows. Many owners enjoy the conversation.

Yes, if they have room to move. Give them tall cat trees, sturdy scratchers and daily play.

Maine Coons come in many colors and patterns, including brown tabby, black smoke and red. Ask us which colors are in the current or next litter.

Many Maine Coons are fascinated by water and like to paw at a dripping tap or play in a bowl. Some enjoy it and some do not. Let your cat set the pace.

Maine Coons are social and do best with company, but most cope well with a normal workday. Leave toys, a window perch and puzzle feeders, and consider a second pet.

Males are usually larger, and females are usually smaller. Temperament depends more on the individual kitten than on sex. Tell us what you are looking for and we will help you choose.

Siberians are a wonderful fit for allergy-sensitive homes, and many allergic people tolerate them well. No cat is guaranteed allergen-free, so spend time with a kitten in person first.

Some Siberians are reported to produce less of Fel d 1, the main cat allergen. Individual cats and individual people vary. Meeting the kitten is the best test.

Yes. Book an appointment and spend time with a kitten by video call, or visit in Hawaii, Oklahoma, Salt Lake City or Seattle, wherever your desired kitten is currently located. Speak with your doctor if you have asthma or severe allergies.

Siberians are medium to large cats, commonly between 8 and 17 pounds. Males are usually larger than females.

Siberians are moderately vocal. They chirp and trill more than they meow loudly.

Some do. Many Siberians are curious about water and enjoy dipping their paws. Introduce it gently and never force it.

Feed a high-quality kitten food. Ask us what your kitten is eating and keep it the same at first. Change foods gradually over 7 to 10 days.

Feed three to four small meals a day until about six months old, then two meals a day. Always provide fresh water.

Set up a litter box, food and water, a scratching post and a quiet hiding spot. Remove toxic plants, cords and small objects that could be swallowed.

Book a vet visit within the first week or so after coming home. Bring the health records we give you.

Choose a tall, heavy, stable post, at least as tall as the cat stretched out. Large cats can topple flimsy posts.

Pick a large, easy-to-enter box, ideally about one and a half times the length of your cat. Many large cats prefer an uncovered box.

Start in separate rooms and swap scents with a blanket. Then allow short, calm meetings, with the dog on a lead. Never force contact.

We recommend an indoor life with safe outdoor time, such as a harness or a catio. It protects against cars, predators and disease.

Use wand toys, puzzle feeders and climbing trees, and play daily. Rotate toys to keep them interesting.

Young kittens often sleep 16 to 20 hours a day. This is normal and helps them grow.

Hold the paw gently and press the toe so the claw extends. Clip only the sharp tip and avoid the pink quick. Start early, keep sessions short and reward your kitten.

Redirect biting to toys and never use your hands for play. Stop the game if your kitten bites and reward calm behavior. Kittens usually outgrow it with consistent training.

Use a secure, well-ventilated carrier with a soft blanket. Keep the trip calm and short, and never leave a kitten alone in a car.

Start early with a soft finger brush and cat toothpaste, and never use human toothpaste. Short, gentle sessions build a lifelong habit. Ask your vet for a demonstration.
