Chase McCoonie is a black marbled tabby. Born 3/36/24. Came to let me be his hooman 6/18/24.
At this posting he is now a week short of 9 months old and weighs 13.6 lbs.
He is an absolute joy! I cannot remember when I have smiled and laughed so much.
I am constantly amazed at the way he approaches life and each challenge.
He watches, evaluates, and then takes appropriate action.
The biggest joy has been the way he has gotten the other 4 cats in the house to play and chase each other all around, something they never did before.
His personality is just sooo awesome.

Nugget is 7-months-old and 15 lbs. He can be a naughty kitten at times but super sweet most of the time.
Meet Neo, the polydactyl baby boy (4 weeks). He’ll be a new addition to my fur family on 5/31/2024!

Big Foot
by: Denny
Well, my daughters call him "Big Foot" as he is a polydactyl with 6 toes on each paw. He would be one heck of a swimmer with those big paddles.
Now his real name is Yoshi and he is a real lover. Only 4 months old and 8 pounds.

Thank you all so much!

My best friend is Willow, a 15-month-old Maine Coon with a possible Russian Blue mix.
She’s silver with green eyes, follows me everywhere, and loves classical music, food, playtime, mischief, and snuggling at night. She's my baby - and she knows it! I’ll share a photo soon.
Willow is my first Maine Coon, and we're learning together every day. I'm 76 and live alone, and I absolutely adore her.
What a Cutie!
by: Kasey's Person
What a cutie! That face reminds me of my 9-year-old Coonie, Kasey - sweet as can be but always up to something.
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve found him snoozing in a kitchen cabinet after sneaking in and letting the door close behind him. These cats sure keep us on our toes!
Adorable
by: C. Dove
She’s adorable! I know you’ll enjoy her for many years. Maine Coons are the best. I adopted a male named Sergiy last year, and he’s been a wonderful addition to our family. You're lucky to have such a beautiful girl - congratulations!

Gunny was almost 4 months old when he joined our family with 2 Collies and his cat brother.
He walked into each room like he'd been there his entire life. No fear, no hesitation.
He loves car rides and adventures. He recently turned a year old and I can't wait to see him continue to grow and flourish.
I only wish I’d gotten a “COONIE” sooner. He’s the joy of my life… heart and soul.

Kong is 6 months young. He is full of energy and love! He weighs in at about 11 lbs right now… growing every day.
I have spoiled him and that is exactly where I want him and intend to keep him. He loves to climb and explore so I try to get him new items to expand his horizon as often as possible.
His favorite treats are Greenies catnip treats. I love and enjoy all his chirps and trills when he’s talking to me and others.
His enormous, fluffy feet are one of my favorite characteristics of his. He adopted a couple of dsh kittens out of our rescue litters this year.
He is adorable teaching them how to climb his trees and steps on the walls. He is a joy to watch and to be around. What a lovely boy!!
Kong is 4 months old and our first Maine Coon. I am in LOVE with this cat!! He is adorable!!
I never thought it possible to love a cat this much. He is so special. Kong is lovable, expressive, intelligent, and altogether lovely.
He acts like no other cat I’ve ever been around! I enjoy watching him play as much as I do holding and petting him.
I cannot get enough of him!! I am definitely a Coonie fan forever!!

Pepe is just shy of six months old and lives in Melbourne, Florida. He is a loving, active, growing kitty.
He's very curious and seeks out new adventures, including meeting new people. We just love him to death.

Walter is our crazy funny loving boy. He is around 5 months old. Running and jumping up on every thing is what he does best, I don’t think he even knows how to walk.. lol
Walter makes every day an adventure.
by: Chella in Venda do Pinheiro, Portugal
At 4 months, Lúda is a beautiful, curious, and courageous bundle of joy.
I'm a new cat mom and I couldn't have selected a better breed than the Maine Coon. I look forward to showing him off in this community.

We just recently got our boy Casper from a local breeder. He is a lover! So sweet and playful. Can't wait to watch him grow!
by: Jacquelin in Middletown OH USA
Oliver is 6 months old. He is so sweet and loving. He loves to cuddle and is my Velcro kitten. He enjoys jumping out from hiding places to scare me.

I have 2 boys that are 8 months old. What mischief they can make!
