OMG

You all have taken me soooooo literally.

Actually Maine coon kittens are sold at £650 - that is what I got quoted in March for a kitten from the site that comes up first in a google search. Breeder is registered. That breeder uses old american lines to get old style Maine Coons.

Yes, I know I could get a MC kitten who has been registered with either/or TICA/GCCF for about £300-£500 as a pet. But is Jo Public going to do that research? Hobby breeders very rarely advertise the price of their kittens because they want to hear from you and check you out before letting you have a kitten.

Only one hobby breeder's website I visited gave a price. As a buyer, some people would find it quite daunting checking out a price only to find actually it might be too expensive.

From what I am hearing cross breeders are more willing to advertise the price.

And I made that cross-breed up lol
