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.

Imperial Grand Premier Dairymaine Sarnia Cherie beat over 1000 cats in competition to become Best in Show at the 2008 Supreme Show on 22nd November 2008. |
||||
| A stunning tortie-tabby female neuter takes the top honours. | ||||
| Sarnia started the day by winning the UK Grand Premier Certificate, then Best of Breed followed by Best of Variety Semi-Longhair Neuter, beating lots of other cats along the way. She then competed against the six other Best of Variety Neuter winners - Persian, British, Foreign, Burmese, Oriental and Siamese and won the title of Supreme Neuter. But the cherry (or should we say "Cherie") on the top was to beat the Burmese Adult and Norwegian Forest Kitten to gain the most coveted GCCF title - Supreme Exhibit 2008. | ||||

We proudly congratulate her owner, Saffi Rabey and her breeder, Jane Haynes on this fantastic win. A fantastic day for Sarnia, Saffi, Jane and the whole Maine Coon breed. |

| Sarni was not the only cat to enter the top stage, Grand Champion Coontastic Lammtarra, owned & bred by Rocco & Angie Barletta, became Best of Variety Semi-Longhair Adult, so it was an amazing day for them too. | ||||

everyone. ! An amazing day for the Maine Coon cat and the individual owners & breeders. |
