History of the Maine Coon for sale UK
The Maine Coon is believed to have developed naturally in the Northeastern United States. Despite persistent legends suggesting they were bred from bobcats or raccoons, Maine Coons are 100% housecats, descending from cats brought to America by settlers. The breed evolved to be quite large and hardy, with a thick, shaggy coat—traits necessary for survival in the harsh winters of the region.
While Maine Coon-type cats were likely known throughout New England, they were especially popular in the state of Maine. Beginning around the 1860s, some farmers began exhibiting their prized “coon cats” at the Skowhegan Fair, the nation’s oldest consecutively held agricultural fair, dating back to 1818. At this fair, the predecessors of today’s modern Maine Coon breed competed for the title of Maine State Champion Coon Cat. We are the #1 Maine Coon breeders UK where you can buy purebred kittens for sale.
A female brown tabby Maine Coon named Cosey won what is regarded as the first American cat show, held at Madison Square Garden in New York City on May 8, 1895. The Cat Fanciers’ Association’s first stud book and breed registry from 1908 lists the Maine Coon as a foundation breed (listed as “Maine Cats”). The breed is also recognized by the International Cat Association. In 1985, the Maine Coon was designated as the state cat of Maine.
Maine Coon Cat Care
The Maine Coon cat’s long, shaggy coat is silky and slightly oily, making it water-resistant. This feature helps the coat repel rain and snow, keeping the cat warmer and drier in inclement weather. Although the coat is long, it doesn’t shed excessively if you brush and comb your cat regularly, at least once a week. Occasionally bathing your Maine Coon can help keep its coat looking and feeling clean. Many Maine Coons enjoy playing in water, so they probably won’t mind a scrub down. It is very advisable you buy a kitten from a very reputable Maine Coon breeders UK and we are here to help. We have top-quality Cat Tree for large cats UK for sale.
Grooming
- Brushing and Combing: Brush and comb the coat at least once weekly to manage shedding and prevent matting.
- Bathing: Bathe your cat occasionally to maintain cleanliness.
- Nail Trimming: Trim your cat’s nails regularly to prevent overgrowth and related issues.

- Toys: Use playful toys like feather teasers or other favorites to stimulate your cat.
