Where Love & Gentle Giants Grow
Welcome to Maine Street Coons, home to internationally recognized Maine Coons and beloved companions cherished by families around the world. Raised underfoot in the heart of our family home just outside Birmingham, Alabama, our kittens are the product of a thoughtful preservation breeding program built on health, temperament, and authentic breed type. We are passionate about raising extraordinary family members for those who value excellence, integrity, and a truly personal experience.
The Gentle giants we know and love
A truly exceptional Maine Coon is more than a beautiful cat—it is a devoted companion. While health, structure, and breed type are essential, we believe temperament is what ultimately transforms a kitten into a beloved member of the family.
That’s why every breeding decision we make considers not only pedigree and conformation, but also the qualities that make Maine Coons so cherished around the world:
• Affectionate, people-oriented personalities
• Confidence without aggression
• Adaptability and emotional resilience
• Excellent handling tolerance
• Sociability with children, guests, and other pets
• A natural desire to be involved in family life
We thoughtfully select each pairing to preserve the gentle, family-oriented temperament that has earned the Maine Coon its reputation as the “gentle giant” of the cat world.
The result is a cat that is equally at home following you from room to room, greeting visitors at the door, supervising daily activities, or curling up beside you at the end of the day.
These are the qualities that matter long after the novelty of a kitten has faded. They are the reason Maine Coons become confidants, companions, and cherished members of the family for years to come.

preserving an american legacy
Timeless Beauty. Strength. Grace.
At Maine Street Coons, we are proud to preserve the legacy of the Maine Coon—a breed as rugged and enduring as its New England roots.
We strive to preserve the hallmarks that have defined the Maine Coon for generations:
- Balanced head structure
- Expressive green or gold eyes
- Tall, tufted ears
- Gentle facial expression
- Strong, square muzzle
- Rectangular, muscular body type
- Substantial boning
- Natural, shaggy coat texture
These characteristics are more than aesthetic preferences. They reflect the functional, balanced, and enduring qualities that allowed the Maine Coon to thrive as North America's native longhaired working cat.
Our commitment to correct breed type has been recognized in TICA show halls at the highest levels, including International, Breed, and Regional award-winning cats that have been evaluated by judges across North America and beyond.
While modern trends come and go, our focus remains unchanged. We are dedicated to preserving the authentic Maine Coon as described by the written breed standard—not exaggerations or novelty traits, but the strong, balanced, gentle giant that has captured hearts for generations.
