Some of the breeders do rehome queens or studs that for whatever reason they want to retire. There have been other threads about the whys and wherefores of this, but in my opinion its fine. Most breeders will not release a cat they have bred from unless it is to the right person and the right environment. The breeder will neuter the cat before letting it go, as well.
Look on the webpages of breeders to find older cats.

From reading the information available on the internet about rehoming Coonies it comes across that they are few and far between, but it really isn't the case.
Ace is a kitten that we rehomed, and he's only six months old so he's still very much a baby. In addition to the retired queens/studs there are older kittens/young cats that are rehomed for a variety of reasons having been neutered instead of being used for breeding/showing.
