Our family started out with just one Maine Coon in 2015, Corona Borealis, which we soon found out was not enough. We had fallen in love with the breed and desired to create a quality bloodline that we could pass on to future families. In the spring of 2016, my husband and I decided to import our first Main Coon. We found a fabulous breeder in Spain that worked with us to have a top-notch tom for the start of our breeding program. Sircan Wambcat, “Felix”, has been one of the best MC and has adjusted well to our family life.

The Maine Coon is one of the oldest and most beloved cat breeds in North America, known for its distinctive appearance, intelligence, and friendly disposition. Its history is a blend of folklore, speculation, and documented evidence, painting a picture of a breed that has captivated people for centuries.
The exact origins of the Maine Coon are shrouded in mystery and folklore. One popular legend suggests that these cats are the offspring of longhaired cats belonging to Marie Antoinette, which were sent to America in an attempt to escape the French Revolution. Another tale proposes that Maine Coons are the result of domestic cats mating with raccoons, which is genetically impossible but adds to the breed’s mystique.
A more plausible theory is that Maine Coons are descendants of domestic shorthaired cats and longhaired cats brought by seafarers from Europe, possibly including the Vikings. These cats adapted to the harsh New England climate, developing their distinctive features to survive the cold winters.
The Maine Coon was first mentioned in written records in the early 19th century, where they were recognized for their exceptional hunting skills and rugged beauty. They became popular working cats on farms and ships, prized for their ability to control rodent populations.
By the late 19th century, Maine Coons were being shown at cat shows in the Northeastern United States. The first recorded mention of a Maine Coon in a cat show dates back to 1861, where a cat named Captain Jenks of the Horse Marines was exhibited. The breed gained widespread acclaim in these shows, winning several awards and capturing the public’s imagination.
The early 20th century saw a decline in the popularity of Maine Coons as exotic breeds from Europe began to dominate the cat show scene. However, dedicated breeders and enthusiasts kept the breed alive through careful breeding practices and the formation of breed clubs.
The Central Maine Cat Club, established in the 1950s, played a crucial role in the revival of the Maine Coon. By the 1960s and 1970s, the breed began to regain its former popularity. The Maine Coon Breeders and Fanciers Association (MCBFA) was founded in 1968, further promoting and protecting the breed.
In 1976, the Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA) officially recognized the Maine Coon, and the breed has since become one of the most popular in the world. Today, Maine Coons are celebrated for their unique characteristics and charming personalities.

Maine Coons possess a combination of physical traits and behavioral qualities that make them stand out among other cat breeds. Here are some of their most unique and beautiful features:
Physical Characteristics
Size and Build: Maine Coons are one of the largest domesticated cat breeds. Males typically weigh between 13 and 18 pounds, while females range from 8 to 12 pounds. Some exceptional individuals can weigh over 20 pounds. They have a muscular, sturdy build with a broad chest and a long, rectangular body.
Coat and Color: Maine Coons have a long, thick, water-resistant coat that helps them withstand harsh weather. Their fur is silky and smooth, with longer hair on the ruff, stomach, and britches. They come in a wide variety of colors and patterns, including tabby, solid, bicolor, and tortoiseshell.
Tail: One of the most distinctive features of the Maine Coon is its long, bushy tail. The tail is often as long as the cat’s body and is covered in long, flowing fur. It serves as a blanket for the cat to wrap around itself in cold weather.
Ears: Maine Coons have large, tufted ears with lynx-like tips, which add to their wild appearance. The tufts, known as ear furnishings, help protect their ears from the cold and snow.
Eyes: Their large, expressive eyes can be green, gold, copper, or blue, depending on the coat color. Some Maine Coons may even have odd eyes, with each eye being a different color.
Paws: They have large, tufted paws that act like snowshoes, allowing them to walk on snow without sinking. The tufts of fur between their toes provide additional insulation.
We use a company called SpaySecure to protect your kitten’s health and hormones and let them grow to a healthy age before spay/neuter.
SpaySecure uses binding contracts to ensure cat sterilization at a healthy age. They’ll follow up with you to provide advice and reminders, ensuring your kitten gets spayed or neutered safely.
With SpaySecure, kittens are able to be sent home for age-appropriate spay and neuter. SpaySecure allows the cat owner to delay the spay/neuter surgery until a later agreed upon date, which effectively prevents health risks associated with early spay/neuter and unqualified, unplanned breeding.
By purchasing a kitten from a SpaySecure member breeder, you are supporting responsible pet ownership and a commitment to the long-term health and well-being of your kitten.
Affectionate Nature: Maine Coons are known for their affectionate and gentle nature. They enjoy human companionship and often form strong bonds with their owners. Despite their large size, they are typically friendly and tolerant of children and other pets.
Intelligence: Maine Coons are highly intelligent and curious cats. They enjoy interactive toys and puzzles that challenge their minds. Many owners report that their Maine Coons can learn tricks and commands, similar to dogs.
Playfulness: These cats retain their playful nature well into adulthood. They enjoy playing fetch, chasing toys, and exploring their environment. Their playful antics and energetic behavior make them a joy to have around.
Vocalization: Maine Coons are known for their unique vocalizations. They communicate with a variety of sounds, including chirps, trills, and soft meows. This distinctive form of communication is often endearing to their owners.
Sociability: Maine Coons are social cats that enjoy being part of family activities. They often follow their owners from room to room and like to be involved in whatever is happening around them. They are also known to be friendly with strangers, making them excellent companions.
Adaptability: Maine Coons are adaptable and can thrive in various living environments, from small apartments to large homes. They are generally laid-back and can adjust to changes in their surroundings or routines.
