A cat with an adorable Character

Of course, all cats have their own character, but the Maine Coon is known to be a very sociable cat. At first, they’re a little shy towards strangers, but would then warm up to them quickly. Hence its nickname “gentle giant”.

The ideal compromise between a cat and a dog

Due to its size and temperament, they’re often referred to as a cat/dog. They have a stable temperament while being very playful and gets along very well with children. These cats also get along with dogs and aren’t aggressive. Again, it’s also a matter of education and temperament. Always visit your future kitten before making any decisions!

Of course, before any adoption, keep in mind that adopting a cat is a long-term commitment, a Maine Coon lives on average 16 years. A cat is an animal, it will not obey you with the finger and the eye and will always be unpredictable.

Ask yourself some questions:

  • Are you ready to take the time necessary to educate, care for, and take care of it?
  • Does the whole family agree to adopt a cat?
  • Do you have a petcare solution for your vacation?
  • Are you ready to spend some time untangling and picking up their body hair?
  • Do you have the necessary budget to support them?

Remember that a cat represents a significant financial investment: veterinarian, care, food, equipment, toys…

Count between  $941-1412 just for the purchase of a Maine Coon kitten then around $706 per year just for food and care. Due to its large size, the Maine Coon is a big eater and it shows on the food budget.

And if none of the points mentioned above scares you, go for it and enjoy being with them!
