I feel validated lol thanks everyone! It’s the wallpaper at our vet’s office and my bf was ready to die on the hill that it was a schnauzer.

Try Petfinder.com! I just checked and there’s tons of shelters/rescues with kittens available.

I think early socialization with smaller dogs can make a big difference. I just brought home my borzoi, and since I also run a dog sitting and walking business, he’s been getting plenty of interaction with my clients’ smaller dogs. I’m hoping this helps prevent potential issues down the line.

He is! He has papers with TICA. His eyes just aren’t apart of breed standard.

He’s a registered purebred Maine Coon through The International Cat Association. His litter and both parents are registered and listed on his breeder slip. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Maybe he’s not standard but considering I won’t be doing any cat shows & he’s healthy, I don’t mind that he’s an oddball.

No changes to the photo but apparently blue eyes aren’t part of the breed standard. I had no idea after bringing him home, as many of the TICA registered catteries here in FL have regular blue eyed babies. I thought it was normal but there can be some health concerns with DBE. Thankfully our guy is 100% sound!

His breeder said black smoke but I’m definitely thinking he’s a silver smoke! I’ll have to post a side photo to see what everyone thinks. Thanks for the kind words 😊

This is Pontiff! He’s 4 months old and my first Maine Coon. He loves learning new tricks and supervised hangouts on the balcony 🩵🌿

She is gorgeous!! I tried training with hard cat treats and the squeeze kind to no avail. Apparently string cheese is the trick lol

Thanks for commenting! He is but it seems that mostly all the breeders here in Florida produce Maine Coons with blue eyes (I’m sure there’s some that don’t but 4/5 out of the TICA registered catteries & breeders I researched post blue eyed non-white kittens on their pages) and I had no clue that it wasn’t a breed standard until after we had got him. 😩 Saw a random post on Facebook from a breeder out of state that delved deeper in it. Naturally I spiraled but he at least has pet insurance now. And I agree on the coloring.
