MAINE COON WEIGHT CHART

For anyone new to the enchanting world of Maine Coons and dreaming of bringing a kitten into their life, a common question arises:

  • How much should a Maine Coon kitten weigh at different stages of growth?

Here's the breakdown:

  • It's important to note that there aren't rigid weight standards due to the highly individual nature of these majestic cats. Weight depends on a variety of factors, including genetics, physical attributes, breed types (European, American, etc.), and bone structures (light, heavy, broad, fine-boned, long, short).

  • The weight trajectory also hinges on the pace of development. Sometimes, the tiniest kitten in its early stages surpasses or catches up in weight with its initially larger siblings at a certain point.

  • Hence, this chart provides approximate weight values for Maine Coons from birth to three years and beyond. Slight deviations below the given values don't necessarily imply that the kitten will be small. It's crucial to understand that Maine Coons undergo a prolonged developmental phase, continuing to grow and gain weight until they reach 4-5 years of age!

  • The cost of a Maine Coon kitten varies based on factors such as pedigree, lineage, and breeder reputation. Our prices start at $2200, and additional details can be provided upon inquiry.

  • Yes, Maine Coons are known for their gentle and sociable nature, making them great companions for families with children and other pets.

  • Maine Coons have long, thick fur that requires regular grooming. Brushing a few times a week helps prevent matting and reduces shedding.

  • Currently, we are in the process of developing our kitten shipping options. While we have not shipped kittens in the past, we are actively working on addressing this matter. We believe that the best way to get to know your future furry companion is to visit our cattery in person. Only in a familiar environment can a kitten truly reveal its personality, showcasing its playfulness, charm, or perhaps a more serious demeanor. Meeting the kitten's parents at the breeder's home will also give you insight into what your beloved pet may grow up to be. Therefore, we encourage you to take advantage of any opportunity to visit, as acquiring a new kitten is not just a simple addition to your family but the welcoming of a new member for many years to come!
