Maine Coon Breeders In Europe

The Maine Coon cat breed has risen to fame over the last few decades, with many owners across the world having fallen in love with this cat breed:

• Sheer beauty
• Immense size
• Friendly personality

So, if you are keen to own a Maine Coon, and also live in Europe, you might be wondering how to find reputable Maine Coon breeders in Europe.

If this sounds familiar, make sure you keep reading to gain an understanding of the questions you need to ask each breeder, and what certifications the seller should ideally be able to show you.

The best place to begin your search for a Maine Coon kitten is by looking for breeders with the following credentials:

• Registered Maine Coon Breeders: Check to see if the breeder is registered with any professional cat governing bodies.

• Breeder Listed On Cat Breeding Club Lists: Check cat governing bodies like TICA, CFA, and MCBFA to see if the breeder is listed on their website.

• Recommendations: Was the breeder recommended? Review the breeder’s online presence to determine whether they have positive/negative customer reviews.

• Social Media Platforms: Is the seller active on their own page or other social media platforms? Are they willing to offer regular advice to their readers for free, without trying to sell kittens off the back of it?

• Gut Instinct: Never underestimate your gut instincts. If something seems to be too good to be true, it likely is. Trust in your instincts, an ability to judge people’s characters.

With so many Maine Coon kittens for sale across Europe, along with the premium price tag that this pedigree cat breed commands, potential buyers need to ensure they research potential breeders thoroughly.

This is particularly more important as the world faces increasing financial strains after Covid-19 swept across Europe with great force, causing many businesses and individuals personal hardship.

If history is anything to go by, it is likely that we will see a significant rise in backyard breeders (BYB) during the next few years as those made unemployed during the pandemic desperately try to make quick cash out of unsuspecting buyers.

With these factors in mind, how exactly can an individual know which Maine coon breeders are trustworthy, or not?

Whilst I have not visited, nor inspected every European Maine Coon breeder listed below, I can arm novice purchasers with some additional questions that they should ensure the seller successfully answers.

Here are the additional breeder checks to make, before buying your Maine Coon kitten:

• Does the breeder have a fully functioning website? If not, why not?

• Do they have a social platform presence i.e. Facebook?

• Will the breeder allow you to meet the Maine Coon kitten, in their home environment?

• Review the online reviews of this breeder, on Google.

• Does the breeder have a good knowledge of the Maine Coon cat breed?

• Will the breeder let you meet the kitten’s parents?

• Does the kitten have a full vaccination history and health check? 

• Can the breeder supply you with the official pedigree paperwork?

• Do they have a social platform presence i.e. Facebook?

• Will the breeder allow you to meet the Maine Coon kitten, in their home environment?

• Review the online reviews of this breeder, on Google.

• Does the breeder have a good knowledge of the Maine Coon cat breed?

• Will the breeder let you meet the kitten’s parents?

• Does the kitten have a full vaccination history and health check?

• Can the breeder supply you with the official pedigree paperwork?

There are many other questions to ask, to ensure you are dealing with an ethical, responsible, and trustworthy Maine Coon cat breeder.

Why not print off my guide 20+ Questions To Ask Breeder When Buying A Maine Coon Kitten to guide you through the process.

My article Buying A Maine Coon Cat: Complete Guide would also be a valuable read for you.

As much as you need to know the key questions to ask breeders, it is also extremely valuable to be alert to possible red flags.

Therefore, it is wise to avoid breeders that say or do the following:

• Asks for a deposit before you even see the Maine Coon kitten/cat.

• The seller cannot provide multiple photographs of the advertised Maine Coon.

• Has the breeder used stock photos of Maine Coons kittens, rather than photos they have taken?

• Request money is transferred outside your country of residence.

• For sale advertisements that use poor quality English (or a country’s first language).

• Cannot provide certification that the kitten is a purebred Maine Coon (pedigree). 

• Does not act naturally around the Maine Coon kittens, or shows no knowledge of the breed.

Maine Coon Breeder Organisations

Maine Coon cats are well known for being the largest domesticated cat breed in the world.

With their long dense fur, regal looks, and family-friendly personality, it’s no surprise that the Maine Coon breed is loved by millions of people.

This is particularly true of our American friends who voted the Maine Coon cat as their 3rd favorite cat breed to own, in 2015.

If the mystical powers of the Maine Coon cat breed have you in awe, then make sure you do not rush into any decisions. Instead, you should vet potential European Maine Coon breeders.

Below are a number of cat organizations that have been set up to protect this magnificent cat breed’s purebred status:

• TICA
• CFA
• MCBFA
• FIFe

It is not a mandatory requirement that Maine Coon breeders register with any of these cat organizations, however, registration does signal the breeder’s level of authenticity and trustworthiness, in such a crowded marketplace.

Please keep in mind though, that whilst a breeder can register with any of the cat regulatory bodies listed above, this does not automatically guarantee they are trustworthy.

Instead, it simply highlights that the breeders have agreed to follow a defined set of breeder rules and ethics.

Where Do Owners Buy Maine Coon Cats?

The safest place to purchase a Maine Coon kitten is from a registered Maine Coon cat breeder, yet the Maine Coon price often leads cat lovers to buy their cats elsewhere.

Katrina Stewardson, the Director of Maine Coon Central, conducted unique research on 150 Maine Coon cat lovers, on Maine Coon Central’s YouTube channel, in October 2023.

She asked a poll of 150 voters where they got their Maine Coon cat from.

The survey revealed:

• 33% of owners purchased their Maine Coon from a Registered Maine Coon cat breeder
• 8% of voters bought a cat from a Non-Registered Maine Coon cat breeder.

A staggering 23% of viewers voted that they found their Maine Coon at a shelter! So, do not give up hope of finding a ‘cheap’ Maine Coon!

Below are the results of Maine Coon Central’s users’ vote:

Conclusion

This is a pretty definitive list of registered Maine Coon cat breeders in Europe, but it definitely isn’t the complete and definitive guide since new breeders are popping up across the different states on a regular basis.

Breeders wishing to be added to this registered Maine Coon breeder article will be considered, by sending their full company details, website address, and contact details to mainecooncentral@gmail.com
