- Does anyone know of a Main Coon breeder in San Diego county? We have
- one phone number from the back of the Cat Fancy magazine for a place
- in Coronado.
-
- My parents recently lost their magnificent indoor/outdoor mouser cat.
- They are now looking for another cat and have been checking the local
- Humane Society on a regular basis. What they are looking for is a
- large frame playful outgoing laid back type cat. Color is not that
- important, temperment is definately important. They are also looking
- for an indoor/outdoor type (San Diego is a mild climate) who might be
- willing to take care of the mouse population and send a warning to the
- rabbits who invade the lawn. (As my father puts it, a working cat who
- enjoys people). My parents are both home the majority of the day and
- really miss having their cat companion. They have three dogs but say
- it is not quite the same and the dogs won't deal with the mice.
-
- Anyway, they have also been reading up on different breeds of cats and
- I mentioned the Main Coon to them having read all the wonderful stories
- about them on the net. So now they are interested in seeing if they can
- get a Main Coon locally. They are specifically looking for pet quality,
- not show. They also are not necessarily interested in a kitten. They
- like the idea of adopting an older cat whose temperment is well known.
- Their previous cat was adopted this way. (And my mother says she isn't
- quite up to trying to figure out "where did that kitten hide him/herself
- today!")
-
- So, if anyone knows of a local kitty who fits those qualities that needs
- a wonderful home, please email me.
