Important Information regarding 2012 Show

Due to the Olympic Flame passing through Lichfield on Saturday 30th June, resulting in all leisure centres in the area being closed for the day, we have had to move the 2012 Maine Coon Cat Club Show date to Sunday 1st July. The show has classes for Maine Coons, Ragamuffins, Turkish Vankedisis, Non-Pedigrees and Pedigree Pets. 

Schedules are now available and hard copies have been posted to all last year's exhibitors. 

Please note: The GCCF Thirteen Day Rule means that cats can be entered at The Maine Coon Cat Club Show and the Joint Humberside/Lincolnshire Cat Club Shows on 14th July, 13 days later.

Hard copy available on request - please send SAE to

LIMITED EDITION SILVER ANNIVERSARY MUG

To celebrate the club’s Silver Anniversary, we have had special commemorative mugs produced especially for the club. Made from porcelain, the front features a beautiful colour illustration of a Maine Coon head, the reverse has wording to celebrate our silver anniversary and on the underside is the club’s logo. They are gold edged, top and bottom. To protect them during transit, they are carefully packed in a specially designed heavyweight cardboard box.

The photo really doesn’t do this mug justice and the illustration looks much more impressive in the flesh. First available at the Maine Coon Cat Club Show, they are now on general sale through the club.

These mugs cost £4.25 boxed from the club table at shows, or can be sent out by post, costing £6.50 including postage.

For more information, please contact David Howe (treasurer) on 0114 2694476 or e-mail him at dhowe@btinternet.com

 This is a unique opportunity to have a beautiful mug, showing our lovely breed.

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, and social events. We produce a 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.
