On this site 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.
Why not join our club? You don't 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, even those who don't own a Maine Coon but just
like the breed.
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.

A wonderful ambassador for the breed, he loved attention and through him, many people became fans of the Maine Coon. He will be much missed by so many people but especially his devoted owners Ray and Sandra Burgess. Our hearts go out to them at this very sad time.

New! The Maine Coon – GCCF Standard – Identifying Correct Type and Breed Faults
A new document has been produced to help breeders, owners and judges when either evaluating their own cats, buying new cats or judging at shows. It explains why the Maine Coon looks the way it does, shows examples of correct and incorrect features and is a great help to anyone interested in learning more about the breed.
