Howdy,
I am wanting to get a Maine Coon. I would like to have a Brown Classic Tabby, No white. That being said, I have been to cat shows to meet "Breeders" but I don't think they wanted to meet me. Needless to say I was no closer to owning a Maine Coon. I have Surfed many of web sites of breeders advertising kittens or soon to be kittens, but after reading through their web site, they have LOTS of rules. I guess the catch is, I want a cat that is not altered I believe the term is. Many of the people who have what I want, they don't seem willing to sell me a cat, at leased one thats not altered. While some people have their own beliefs, I have my own personal experience and beliefs. I do not believe any cat should have any surgery of any kind unless it has a health problem that warrents it. That includes, declawing , spay or neutering, or anything. I work in a major medical center in the surgery department, assisting surgons. I can tell you people do not have surgery unless they have to. I feel the same way for animals.
So, How hard is it going to be to get a Maine Coon that hasen't been altered?
What do you think?
