Is he a possible mix of Maine Coon

by Vishwas Kumar

Hi, I'm Vishwas and my cat's name is Ollie. He looks like a Maine Coon but I am not sure.

He's a rescue cat I took in from the street. Why would anyone would put such a cutie on the streets anyway? I love him like my son..

Stray Kittens

(Chicago)

Part of a litter of four strays that has been hanging around since they were kittens.

Can't be more than 12 months old now. 3 of the 4 are long haired and starting to show manes around their necks. The 4th is a relatively short haired red tabby.

I'm surprised that these long haired cats aren't more scraggly living outdoors like they do.

Happily, they survived our cold Chicago winter! They even seem well fed. They obviously get a lot of attention from the neighborhood.

I think my cat might be part Coon due to his size and overall look. What do you think?

Oh Henry!

This is Henry. He is a rescue. I was told he is part Maine Coon.

After reading the article on characteristics, I'm even more certain! He is the best snuggler, loves belly rubs, comes when I call him, everything listed.

Whether he is or not, he's proving to be a wonderful companion for this almost empty nester!

From all we have seen, what a Maine Coon!

8oz. Feral Runt to 11 lb. Beauty

by Renee Hoy
(Cleveland)

My husband discovered JuVi in the sub basement of an old juvenile jail in Cleveland.

8oz feral filthy helpless baby. And the rest is history. JuVi is the welcoming committee, he loves company, he loves our dogs, he’s also the alpha bathing the other kittens we have rescued.

He’s loves tunnels and toys and long naps. Loves food and snacks.

Never had any cat with eyes this color, they are super pale, silvery grey blue. His hair is short on the shoulders but his body hair is about 3”.

Tail color would challenge any high lighting job done in a salon. Hair on his tail is 4.5” long. We love him !!

Maxwell...Maine Coon????

I got my furrever buddy from a Humane Society at 6 mos. He's 6 now.

He can be aggressive at times but I just give him a much love as he'll accept.

Wondering if he is a Maine Coon as I had one before him and see similarities. He loves attention, playtime, kisses in bed and follows me room- to- room.

No cuddles or holding allowed but I love him anyway!

Brooklyn

She was a stray momma’s baby and we adopted her when she was 6weeks.

Now she is 6 months and 8.2 lbs. Hardly ever meows but trills and purrs a lot. Loves to play and runs around wagging her tail. Loves to play with water too.

Maine Coon Mix?

Thoughts if this 9 weeks kitten is a Maine Coon mix?

Adorable Main Coon Mix rescue.

by Paula Harrigan
(Snohomish Wa USA)

Oliver was rescued from Paws Animal Shelter. He was caked with cement and he had to have a toe amputated and his fur shaved.

He was a scrawny 2 year old that had been living as a stray. I adopted him and never dreamed he would turn into such a handsome guy.

No one at the shelter identified him as a Maine Coon or part Maine Coon. He now weighs 19 pounds and has a beautiful coat. He is lovable and playful!

I have attached a picture from the day I brought him home as well as recent pictures.

Maybe Maine Coon

Owen is a very big, fluffy and well mannered boy. He was born with a bob tail. Do you think he is Maine Coon?

Maine Coon Mix Maybe?

by Dean Anderson
(Viola Illinois USA)

I just adopted my 12-week-old little boy Elmer from a no-kill shelter. Somebody surrendered him at 5 weeks old.

I found him accidentally the day he became available to adopt, and all the shelter workers were all talking about his personality.

He is very laid-back loves his tummy rubbed and is bigger than other kittens at the shelter that are the same age.

He has big furry Paws and fury tuffs in his ears similar to a Maine Coon. The ladies at the shelter believe he has some Maine Coon in him because he is so docile, loves to be around people and just seems like a very happy kitten.

My last kitten was a tortoise shell female cat. She was the exact opposite of all of these traits, so I was online researching and found this website.

I thought I would see what you guys think. Either way, if he is or isn't, he still going to have a wonderful life in his new home with me.

So his mom was a stray living outside our house and we took her in and she had 5 kittens.

We gave them all away to good homes but I kept Milo aka Chonk as we called him bc he was the biggest and ate the most.

He is the only one that looks like this though. They all has different looks and colorings. He is a year and a half old. His bday is June 14th.

Everyone thinks he is a Maine Coon but I’m just not 100% convinced yet. I think he could potentially be a Coon-Somali mix. What do y’all think?
