Welcome to the Maine Coon Cat Club’s Site.

Thank you for visiting our site. We hope that you will find it both enjoyable and useful.

Here you will be able to obtain lots of information about the Maine Coon Cat and the Club.

A number of photos have been included to let you see the wide variety of colours we have.

If you are considering a purchasing a Maine Coon Kitten, then there is information on how to go about this in our “Guide to buying a kitten” page. For a list of breeders in your area, visit our “Kittens Currently Available Countrywide" and "Club Maine Coon Breeders” page. 

The club currently has about 500 members, both in Britain and abroad, including several Maine Coon breeders and judges in America. Membership is open to anyone, you do not have to own a Maine Coon to join. Many of our members do not breed or show, but just enjoy living with a Maine Coon and the club caters for everyone.

The club holds several events each year. We publish three newsletters, as well as holding the club show, a seminar and annual photographic competition. The winning photo is used as the front cover for the Maine Coon Calendar each year. Yes, the club even publishes its own calendar, with photos of members’ cats on each page!

Please feel free to contact a member of the committee if you need help or advice.
