If you’re considering getting a Maine coon, you may be wondering how much they cost.

Potential scams
With their big eyes and fluffy tails, Maine Coon kittens are hard to resist. Unfortunately, they are also the target of many scams.
Some unscrupulous breeders will advertise Maine Coon kittens for sale, but then ship sickly or underweight animals instead. Others may simply take your money and never send a kitten at all.
To avoid being scammed, it’s important to do your research before buying a Maine Coon kitten.
Start by finding a reputable breeder in your area. Then, ask for references and check them carefully.
Finally, make sure you see the kitten in person before making a purchase. By taking these precautions, you can help ensure that you’ll end up with a healthy, happy Maine Coon kitten – not a scam.
Be aware, that many scammers will even have you FaceTime the kitten you are supposed to pick up. Then, when it comes time to pickup the kitten you show up to a house and homeowner who has no idea what you are talking about.
Just remember, if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.
Poor health and diseases
While Maine Coons are generally healthy cats, there are a few health conditions that are more common in this breed.
One of the most serious health problems seen in Maine Coons is cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart muscle. This condition can lead to heart failure and death, so it is important for Maine Coon owners to be aware of the signs and symptoms.
Other health problems that have been seen in Maine Coons include hip dysplasia, polycystic kidney disease, and respiratory problems.
It has been our personal experience that purchasing kittens from over sees or the Russian blood line of Maine Coons more often experience health issues.
Fortunately, with proper care and treatment, most Maine Coons thrive and enjoy long, healthy lives.
Small Sizes and Less Popular Colors
Of course, since you are paying a lower price, you will only be able to afford kittens that may be the runt of the litter and are colors that are not as popular.
2. How to find a reputable breeder
When you are looking for a reputable breeder, there are a few key things to keep in mind.
First, take the time to talk to the breeder and ask questions about their experience and expertise. A good breeder will be happy to answer your questions and provide references from other satisfied customers.
