Read what some of our new owners have said about their CaliMaine Coons...

"He [George] is absolutely the best kitten. He tolerates the girls to no end. They cuddle and carry and chase him, and he gives it right back. The baby adores him and tries to hug on him constantly. Not only does he not fight her, but the purring just intensifies. He is a hoot around the dogs too... Constantly grabbing their tails and cleaning their ears. Too funny. I just wanted to thank you so much for him and the way he was raised. I couldn't be happier with him." Nicole P., Corona, California

Later, we received this update:

"The baby and he are thick as thieves-- she always sets chairs up for her and him to sit on."

"I would like to wish you and your family a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. My Christmas is sure a whole lot brighter with my Sir Hector. He is happy and thriving, getting bigger and more wonderful every day. He is so sweet and loving. We play alot with the toys he has and remember how I made him jump when I came for a visit when he was a little baby? Well, now he jumps 3 and 4 feet in the air at a time. He almost reaches my height. ... Hector is a real joy to me, and I can't imagine life without him. Thank you so much for this beautiful love." Kelly M., Temecula, California

"What can we say! Christopher is so beautifully socialized, wonderfully loving, happy, well adjusted that we couldn't be more delighted. During the last half of the ride to his new home, Christopher was laying upside down (like a baby) in my arms, looking at me like I was the love of his life. Saturday night, we all slept on the bed together, which was hard to believe that Serena would allow this to happen so quickly. Christopher is entertaining her with his playfulness and they have done "the nose to nose" touch a number of times. ... Thanks for taking such good care of Christophers first three months of life. We know it was done with loving care. Jan and Darrel M, Costa Mesa, California

"...[Maggy] follows me everywhere and is the most curious cat we've ever had.  Also the most cuddly." Linda and Bruce S., La Jolla, California

Later, we received this update:

"Maggie continues to thrive with us. We are bonded to this adorable kitten."

And, at a year old, we received this update:

"Our Maggie is thriving and is the most gorgeous girl ever, and the sweetest.  We adore her."

"It's been nearly two weeks now since Uno [we now call him Cosmo] came to live with us. He is such a treasure! He and the other cats get along well and he is so curious and still sleeps with us each night. I love how he hunches his back up when he gets pet and he has such strong ears. Can you tell we're crazy about him!" Cynthia N., Bow, Washington

Later, we received this update:

"Well, the (not so) little guy just had his 1st birthday. He got some tuna and toys. Cosmo is as dear as the first time I met him. He is strong, healthy and sweet and still walks around looking for some trouble to get into. His paws are still bigger than he is and his tail is enormous. His white markings are pure white and he snuggles with us each night. We treasure him."

"Moose (he's 9 years old)... [and Buster] are getting along famously. Michael & I are deeply grateful for the obvious care you've taken to raise Buster, as he is very confident and loving. We're tickled to find that he actually wants to be a lap kitten, although we think that because it's not summer time, he likes the body heat we provide. That's ok, we're just happy to have him a part of our family." Karen and Michael W., Oak Park, California

"...I am so pleased that I was led to consider adopting two boys from the same litter. It would have been a shame to take a single kitten with no peer to be with. These two take care of each other, talk to each other, call for each other, always sleep together. Where one is, there is the other. It's like having identical twins. The way they look at me is so adorable. I have been blessed. The boys certainly are making their contribution to my life in many gracious and fun-filled ways." Gerry W., San Diego, California

"Everything is going great with Bear. Or, as we now call him, Oso, meaning Bear in Spanish. He has become a wonderful addition to our family. He is slowly but surely growing up to be a beautiful Maine Coon. Most likely he takes after his father. All I can say is thank you so much. You have made both my family and I so happy. It is nice to have such a wonderful little companion to follow my family members and I around the house as we live our lives and go about our daily routine. . Thank you once again." Sarah S., La Mesa, California

"Marko is a dear little soul. He slept right next to me all night after he learned to scramble up on the bed. He is adjusting beautifully – I am so enjoying that he likes to snuggle." Frumi B., Newport Beach, California

"Henry continues to charm all of us. He is a darling kitten and will be very much doted on for all his life. Thanks so much for raising and socializing him so well. We are crazy about him. ...Thank you so much for breeding and raising such a nice boy." Karol and Jack B., Dana Point, California

Later, we received this update:

“…he is a love, very bright and full of charm and personality.  He vocalizes constantly with an incredible array of sounds and enjoys being with ‘his people’.”

This update was received shortly after Henry turned one year old:

"Such a handsome guy.  And he is more loving than ever, sleeping between our heads at night, full of purrs and personality."

Karol and Jack then adopted a CaliMaine playmate for Henry, and we received this update:

"Just a quick note to let you know that Henry and Dickens (because he is one) are getting along wonderfully well. They romp on their tower, clambering from one level to another, attacking one another. Very cute. When not there, they are playing throughout the house, chasing each other about and wrestling. They spend the bulk of their time together, day and night. ...Thanks for everything."

"I'm just writing to give you an update. The baby meowed the whole way home, and we had to baby talk him a whole bunch. Once we got home he came right out of the carrier and checked out every single inch of the room, but the second he was out of the carrier he started purring. We played with him a little bit and then we all went in the other room to give him some alone time...but it didn't take long until he started meowing, and so we went back in and gave him all the attention he would possibly take. He slept with me all night, snuggled right up on my head and boy does he have a motor on him. He's already playing with all of his toys and using the little box well and really enjoys those scratching posts. He is the sweetest boy, and I'm so glad he is mine. Thank you guys so much." Julianne N., Glendora, California
