🐾 Maine Coon Care Guide

1. Nutrition

Maine Coons grow slowly and need:

  • A balanced, high-quality kitten or cat food

  • Adequate protein for muscle development

  • Enough calories to support slow, steady growth

  • Fresh water available at all times

We provide new owners with food recommendations to keep transitions smooth.

2. Grooming

Despite their long coats, Maine Coons are surprisingly easy to maintain.

Recommended grooming routine:

  • Brush 2–3 times per week to prevent tangles

  • Check behind the ears and under the belly for loose fur

  • Trim nails regularly

  • Clean ears when needed

They typically enjoy grooming when introduced gently from a young age.

3. Exercise & Enrichment

Maine Coons are active and intelligent.
They love:

  • Interactive toys

Important health notes:
