I recently adopted a kitten from my local animal shelter I think he might be mixed breed with Maine Coon.

Please could I send a photo for you to see.

Kind regards

I'm Wondering is He a Coonie Mix?

by Jennifer Sparks
(Georgia USA)

We adopted Kaido from a local shelter and fell in love with his little meows and sweet loving personality instantly.

He had short hair at 3 months and it grew out a lot in the first 6months.

He's very playful and vocal, and was much bigger at 3 months than any of the other kittens at the shelter.

He has ear tuffs in his ears, a long fluffy thick tail, big paws and a thick mane on his neck. He is 12lbs at 1yr old and still seems to be growing every month.

We are considering doing a DNA test to find out what's in his genes. But we love him regardless.

He brings so much love and joy to our home. He's our little ray of sunshine. Our year of the Dragon baby.

John

by John Wells
(Jackson TN )

Kit-Kat weighs in at 17 to 18 pounds at 23 months old. Super friendly and very possessive.

Doesn't let other cats anywhere near me. Constantly wants to be the center of attention.

Leo

by Caitlynn
(Idaho Falls, ID, USA)

A cattery said he’s at least half, but sometimes I think he might be full. What do yall think?

This is Leo, affectionately nicknamed ‘Leo Coon.’ he crawled out of the engine bay of a work truck and fell right into our laps. 😅

Maine Coon Mix?

by Alana
(Indiana)

I adopted him a few months ago and I was told he was a Maine coon/Domestic longhair mix. His tail is very long and poofy but the fur on his body isn’t poofy just long. I would like some feedback on what you guys think.

Do these two look like MCs?

by Marjorie
(Mississippi )

This is Frankie (darker one) and Snickers.

My sister found them in some bushes and we tried to find their owners, but no one claimed them. They were tiny (around 1 lb each), and the vet said maybe not even 4 weeks old.

I fell in love with them immediately, so I don’t care if they are MC, but there is a cattery about 45 minutes from where they were found that “specializes” in tortie/torbies, so I thought I’d ask.

They are so funny, they make soft chirping noises, and try to meow like our dsh, but it doesn’t come out the same.

They warmed up to the dog and kids quickly, and have silky hair, large ears with lynx tips, paw tufts, and Frankie seems to be polydactyl.

Google lens (I know not 100% accurate) says Maine Coon, and when they went back to the vet a week after we got them, everyone commented on how much bigger they already were.

They’ve more than doubled in weight and size in about 3 weeks, but they could also have been malnourished. Just wanted to ask about them.

I can send more pictures. We love them so much. Thanks in advance.

Pumpkin

by Lisa
(Pennsylvania)

Not sure if Pumpkin is a Maine Coon mix or not?

He has an awesome huge, fluffy tail, great personality and seems to fit the things I have read about Maine Coon cats. Just wondering what others think?

Tigger

by Pamela
(Smithfield, KY)

New kitten dmh+Maine coon. 3 months old

Just adopted him yesterday. Tigger is 3 months old. Fell in love with him immediately.

He was born in the shelter. They had his mother too. She was dmh. The male kittens looked nothing like her. They were all like Tigger here.

The classic "M", tufted ears, etc. He is still very tiny, but waiting to see more as he grows.

Feisty Baby

by Tammy
(Dover TN USA )

Hopefully a Coonie But Love Even If Not

Feisty very feisty energetic lovable nosy adapts easily to new things and people. No real fear. Very confident. Raccoon tail, beautiful gray and off-white.

Morticia

by Courtney
(Minneapolis, MN, USA)

Possible Maine Coon Mix?

Morticia (Tish) is approximately 3 months old as of June 2025. She’s playful, loves humans, always wants to be around me, is extremely friendly, and overall one of the sweetest cats I’ve ever met!

I’ve never had a cat before - I acquired Tish from a friend of a friend who claims to have found her as an abandoned stray. Just wondering if she might be a Maine coon mix - that was something the vet brought up as a possibility.

As she ages, I’ve noticed grey/white hairs becoming more visible. She’s still overall black, but definitely growing more of a white lions mane on her chest and showing more white hairs on her legs over the black fur.

Chingo

by Stephanie
(Greeley Co, USA)

I adopted chingo a little over 10 years ago from a shelter who had gotten him as a transfer from another shelter in a neighboring county.

They didn’t know his age but approximated he was 1.5 years old. He was known to be the most talkative of all the shelter cats and made it very clear he did not appreciate being in a cage.

He has always been obsessively attracted to males slightly more than females tho he LOVES every stranger and is very social and quirky.

My friends even joke that his ultra sociable personality can come off and creepy or almost “stalker-ish” being as though he has no concept of boundaries (I would relate it to golden retriever energy)

He loves being outside as much as possible and will spend all day sunning on the porch and giving speeches to the neighborhood from the third story.

He is relentless when he wants something and also super playful and ornery.

As for his physical characteristics, he’s not too impressively large weighing in around 10-11 lbs but had always had impressive tufts of fur in his ears and crazy long whiskers as well as beautiful coloring.

Meet Mickey!

by Stacy G
(Knox, Tennessee)

Meet Mickey, our adorable new family member! At just 2.5 months old, he's a bundle of energy and joy.

He has a playful nature and always engaged with his toys. When he's not darting around, Mickey loves to snuggle, offering affection to everyone in the family.
I’ve been told that he looks like he might have some Coon in him but I’m not sure.

My rescue-Alice aka Sweetie

by Vanessa
(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania )

She is quiet, until she hungry or wants her litter box cleaned. Mellow and laid back, so sweet and loves to cuddle.

She’s been through so much. OMC Rescue is where I adopted her, and from a nice foster mom.

Alice was adopted into our family a month ago. According to her chart, she is officially a senior, was feral and in severe and life threatening condition.

Malnourished weighing 7 lbs., and now she is at home with our other adopted guy, Buddy. She is still showing aggression with our 24 lb little guy after being separated and exchanging scents for a month.

I don’t know what else to do about their hissing and aggression. I also don’t know her breed, is she mixed? I have a lot to learn.

Emily

by Amber Hubert
(Palmyra Indiana )

Emily is a 9 week old female. The owner said her dad is a Maine Coon mix. I've had her a week.

She loves to cuddle, very talkative, and loves attention. Her paws are as big as my 1 year old siamese cats and she's already half the size of him. She's also really playful.

My Mainecoon Kitty?

My 8 week old baby boy. Wondering if he is a mix?

Wiskie

by Wendy
(Sooke, BC, Canada)

We got Wiskie 17 years ago from the humane society in Calgary Alberta.

We were told he was estimated to be 5 years old at the time. He was found wandering around in the snow. His size has always fascinated us.

He has super long legs. In his prime he was roughly 18lbs. He’ll be coming up on 22years old soon. We love our sweet boy.

My 8 week old baby boy. Wondering if he is a mix?

Rhaenyra, Princess of Dragons and Coons?

by Cosette
(Pennsylvania)

My sweet girl was a rescue from our neighborhood.

The mother is an orange tabby but the father is this HUGE brown tabby that looks just like her that roams the neighborhood.

We’ve heard he belonged to an elderly man somewhere nearby. Maybe he passed away and the cat got away? We’re not sure.

He’s got to be a good 15lbs. She herself is just a small girl like her mama despite looking just like her father.

Her personality is very calm, loyal, follows me around like a puppy and begs for me to share snacks. She has to sleep with me every night. She's my best friend and it’s clear I'm hers.

Miss Maxie

by Celia
(Delaware, USA)

She is a rescue, very stubborn, hair is very long and thick, sheds a lot. She is not nice

Wheezer

by Gloria
(Rockford, Illinois, USA)

Wheezer is around 15 years old. He has the sweetest temperament.

I feel he is a coonie mix, perhaps with some tabby. He has big tufts on his paws between toes. He weighs about 14 pounds.

He is verbal only when he wants to eat. He has thick fur, which I try to brush every day.

Cindy

by Cindy Leming
(Eugene, Oregon)

He was found in a garage at the end of January 2025. The Vet said Maine Coon cats are never stray.

She weighed him and gave him a good exam. She found he had a heart murder but tests showed no heart damage. He was 7 months old and weighed 11.2 lbs.

At the end of the appointment, she said he was Maine Coon and perhaps abandoned due to his heart issue.
