🦁 Maine Coon

Meet the Maine Coon

Maine Coons are big, fluffy, and famously friendly. They often follow their people from room to room and enjoy interactive play well into adulthood. That luxurious coat is the main commitment, so brushing starts early.

Sociable, clever, and playful. Maine Coons often greet you at the door and enjoy learning little games.

Your first 30 days together

These breed aware tips sit on top of the core plan. Follow them alongside your day by day guide for the smoothest possible start.

• Begin gentle brushing early so grooming feels normal
• Offer sturdy climbing and perch spots for a growing frame
• Use interactive toys, as this breed loves a game
• Provide a large litter box to suit the bigger size
• Feed a growth formula to support steady development

Grooming and coat care

Brush two or three times a week to prevent mats, with extra care during seasonal shedding. Check ears and trim nails regularly.

Health notes to keep in mind

Share these with your vet at the first visit. They are common points for the breed, not a diagnosis, and your vet is always the best guide for your individual pet.

• Ask your vet about heart and hip checks for the breed
• Keep the coat mat free to avoid skin irritation
