Just an idea, but get the vet to check for a microchip when they are doing the check up. I know It would be upsetting for you to give him up so soon. But it would only be fair.

Maine coons and Forest cats (as well as a lot of Moggy) semi longhair cats look very similar. Guess you'll know if he's a coonie if he's still growing at 3 years old

5 years sweetie xx

but no the vet won't be able to tell you x most vets have no idea about breeds , they keep cats healthy xx

good idea to get him checked though - then at least you know he's got a clean bill of health xx
