Sometimes you can find one in a shelter that has been dumped but they usually have problems.
Ours is a half breed, a Maine Coon knocked up the local hussy.
He is not as big as this one but a very nice cat.
I wonder, is there a ‘SMALL’ cat breed like Chihuahuas are to dogs?..................
Someone offered me a MC, years ago. They had to get rid of it because it killed the neighbor’s dog. I figured it wouldn’t be a good fit for the household, at the time, and passed.
We got our part-Maine Coon from an animal rescue. We didn’t know at the time that this little two pound kitten, that fit in the palm of your hand, would grow up to weigh over 25 pounds and stretched out measure 54 inches from tail to front toes.
He rests his chin on the 36 inch kitchen countertop to see what’s going on.
Dinky still has this tiny little meow……until he doesn’t.
