About the Maine Coon breed
Size & growth
Maine Coons mature slowly. Many keep growing and filling out for 3–4 years.
Temperament
Often social and “dog-like”—curious, people-oriented, and interactive in the home.
Grooming
Expect routine brushing. Coat density varies; consistent care prevents matting.
Enrichment
They thrive with vertical space, toys, and engagement—especially in indoor homes.
Family fit
Great for many households when introductions are thoughtful and boundaries are respected.
Realistic expectations
Every kitten is unique. We prioritize health, temperament, and structure first.
Genetics & color expectations (simple guide)
Color and pattern are influenced by genetics, but exact outcomes are never guaranteed.
Here’s how to think about what you might see.
Base colors: black / red (and tortie in females)
Maine Coons commonly appear in black-based and red-based colors. Females may show tortie/torbie combinations.
The visible coat can include patterns like tabby, with or without white.
Dilute colors: blue / cream
“Dilute” softens black to blue (gray) and red to cream.
Dilute expression depends on whether a kitten inherits the dilute gene from both parents.
Silver & smoke: what it looks like
Silvers often show bright contrast in tabby patterns. Smokes can look solid at rest and “flash” pale undercoat in movement.
Photos, lighting, and age can change how dramatic these appear.
Tabby patterns: classic / mackerel / spotted
Tabby can present in different pattern styles. Even within the same litter, pattern contrast and development can vary as coats mature.
White spotting: from small accents to bicolor
White can range from a small locket or paws to larger bicolor patterns.
Exact placement is not predictable—think “ranges,” not guarantees.
When color becomes clear
Many kittens change noticeably in the first weeks and months. Undercoat, contrast, and smoke/silver expression often become clearer over time.
