Greetings! Happy June, and Happy Feline Friday! It's a beautiful time of year. We've had some new additions since last time.
"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened."
~Anatole France, French Poet
I totally agree! I can't imagine life without the love of animals in our lives.
(This quote features Soft Kitty, of Ohio, from our 2017 Photo Albums)

I would love to start the June Album this weekend!
I suspect everyone is pretty busy this time of year, but if you can spare a few minutes to send in a photo or even a few, we'd love to have your Coonie help kick off the June Album here! 🐾
Before I became a Maine Coon mama, I had a particular problem trying to find a Maine Coon cat near me. I'm in Maine!
So, every search I did for "Maine Coon cats in Maine" would bring results from anywhere in the United States. I couldn't narrow it by location.
But that's nothing compared to the difficulties faced by today's potential Coonie parents who are trying to find reputable breeders.
On today's internet and social media, scams and unscrupulous people looking to take advantage seem to be everywhere.
Maurine writes in, "I live in Central Florida and have been trying to find a Maine Coon cat for years. How do I find one in my area? I am cautious and need to know that it is not a scam."
It can seem like a daunting task to discern "real" Maine Coon kittens, or real breeders for that matter.
With their large size, long fur and bushy tails, not to mention stellar personality, they are one of the most desirable cat breeds. So it's not surprising that kitten scams have cropped up everywhere.
We have to be discerning in our search for Maine Coon breeders. So where do you go to find a Maine Coon cat or kitten of your own? Your best bet will always be with responsible, ethical, reputable breeders.
Ralph, Stella, Scarlett & Skimbleshanks, Minsc, Shadow and more are here for you to check out. Their families share details about them, and ask if they may have some Coonie in them.
New Questions from Readers:
A reader asks: "Hello, my Maine Coon is 5 years old, and she’s an indoor cat. I noticed she has started losing fur in her back legs and tail this past month.
She has never lost this much fur before. I don’t know what to do, can you please give me advice."
At My Wit's End With Maine Coon Fighting:
Natalie in San Jose says, "I cannot let them with each other for just 5 minutes before they start fighting each other... I am trying really hard. I love my Maine Coons so much and it breaks my heart seeing them like this with each other."
