    A Dream Come True X 2 !!!!!

    For years I have wanted a purebred Maine Coon cat. I could never justify buying one from a breeder though, while so many moggies were homeless. I told myself that one day the right situation would occur and I would get my Coon kitty in the proper time. Well, not only did I get a Maine Coon, but I got TWO purebred Maine Coons! A young man (in the army) is going through a divorce and had to rehome his two beloved kitties. He has had them since they were baby kittens. They were born in Germany when he was stationed there, and he flew them back to the States with him. They are brothers, and still only a bit over 2 years old. These boys are HUGE, and Maine Coons can still keep growing for 3- 4 years!

    I am very PURRleased to introduce them to you .... Sammy (Samson) and Panda:

    Sammy .....





    I LOVE his unusal markings on his back:








    NEXT is Panda ...>>>>>>>>

    Kim,

    I couldn't be happier for you You certainly deserve to have those two beauties. Maine Coons are amazing cats. We were fortunate to have a little coon kitty - Roxy - for 9 years. She was very special and like no other kitty I have ever known. Roxy was beautiful, spirited, loving and oh so affectionate. Our hearts broke when she died at such an early age of kidney failure.

    Panda and Sammy are stunning They look healthy and well cared for. Congratulations

    WOW! Those two are GORGEOUS! I LOVE Panda's fluffiness! WOW! WOW! WOW! I'm SO jealous! My vet told me that Maine Coons take the longest to mature of all the breeds and I have to admit I think she's right. At around 6 years old, my Mishi is still very kittenish; albeit a very big, clumsy kitten. I call him my Main Goon. Lucky you! Are these two keepers? Give that fluff some squishes for me, would ya?

    How beautiful they ARE! Panda looks like he has a bit more mischief in him!

    I am sure this army fellow's heart was breaking...but I know he must be happy that they have a wonderful home, and hopefully you can keep him updated!

    HUGS and TUMMY RUBS to Sammy and Panda!

    So Beautiful. Such gorgeous fur. They are in gorgeous condition. Panda is my favorite.

    My mother had a half Maine Coon at one time. Big Fluffy cat, even for a half.

    Yes they are keepers, and yes they are littermates ... brothers. The guy was so nice, and I know he was hurting by having to give them up. I insured him that I would send him regular updates w/ pictures! I hugged him and wished him well as I left ... and gave him a check although he was sweet enough to not ask for any money for them. He was a very nice young man, left to raise his young infant boy. The poor little fella just clung to me while his daddy was helping my hubby load the car with all of their supplies. I know that little boy is going through so much right now too. It's heartbreaking to watch such precious families have to suffer so much.

    Oh, you lucky lady!
    They are both so gorgeous.
    I’ve also wanted a Maine Coon for years.
    What is their personality like and how have they been adjusting in their new home?

    Thanks to BCBlondie for this great signature!

    Poor little boy...I think losing the cats is huge to him, with everything else.

    I think your kitty updates will mean a lot to that little fellow. Regular Sammy and Panda updates might be the most regular thing in his life for a while!

    HUGS to you, and to the Fluffmeisters!

    The little boy was probably about 18 months old, so *hopefully* he won't miss them quite as much as if he were a bit older. Either way though, it is another loss of stability in his life. He was so precious too, he would pat his little hand on my back as I was cuddling him!

    Oh, my! Those tails!

    What handsome fellas they are! I feel so sorry for the young man who had to give them up, but they couldn't be in a better home. And it looks like they've settled right in!
