Welcome to Maine Street Coons, where Maine Coon kittens are lovingly raised underfoot in the heart of our family home about 15 miles Southeast of Birmingham, Alabama.

RETIRING IN 2027
At the core of Maine Street Coons is RW SGC Bigmeow OscarWinner, a true Gentle Giant and the soul of our cattery. Known affectionately as the ultimate “Daddy Cat,” Oscar’s kind and gentle nature sets the tone for every kitten we raise. A natural peacemaker, he dotes on newborn kittens with unmatched tenderness, embodying the loving temperament that has become a hallmark of our program.
Oscar’s legacy is as impressive as his charm. With clear DNA, multiple clear echocardiograms, and TICA’s highest show title—Regional Winner Supreme Grand Champion, he is the perfect blend of health, beauty, and personality. His confident, affectionate nature has been passed down to dozens of kittens who’ve gone on to steal hearts in homes across the country.
Whether dazzling at cat shows, enjoying car rides, or greeting everyone like an old friend, Oscar is the big, handsome charmer who laid the foundation for Maine Street Coons. He’s not just a champion—he’s the heart of our legacy.
Meaning: Many Toes
Carrying on his father Oscar’s legacy, Toby is our current show cat and a standout contender in this year’s race for a TICA International Win, proudly ranking among the Top 25 cats across all breeds worldwide. With his impressive size, flowing coat, and undeniable charm, Toby draws crowds of admirers to our bench at every show—fans eager for a quick pet or a selfie with the 24-toed star himself.
In 2025, Toby earned the prestigious title of TICA’s Best Maine Coon Polydactyl Kitten of the Year, a testament to his exceptional qualities and the rich heritage he represents. This striking brown classic tabby with white proudly sports six toes on all four paws, a nod to the naturally occurring polydactyl gene that’s deeply rooted in the Maine Coon’s maritime history.
Following a clear echocardiogram in November 2025, Toby was officially welcomed into our breeding program, where he will play a vital role in preserving the iconic polydactyl trait for future generations. With his winning personality and dedication to the breed’s legacy, Toby is not just a champion—he’s a symbol of the excellence and tradition we strive for at Maine Street Coons.
Meaning: As sweet as a summer treat.
Every bit as delightful as his name suggests, Tremethick Dreamsicle—affectionately known as Dreamy—joined Maine Street Coons in late 2025. His arrival marked a bittersweet moment, as we welcomed him from our dear friend and esteemed breeder, Bonnie Pearson, upon her retirement after decades of dedication to these majestic American beauties.
With his impressive boning, a thick, flowing red silver classic tabby and white coat, and a pristine health and heart history, Dreamy is the perfect king to complement our program. As an excellent outcross to Oscar and Toby’s daughters, he plays a vital role in cementing the legacy of Maine Street Coons while honoring the rich heritage of his bloodlines.
At Maine Street Coons, we believe that collaboration is the cornerstone of any thriving breeding program. We are deeply honored to continue Bonnie’s legacy through Dreamy, whose presence not only strengthens our lines but also celebrates the shared passion and dedication of breeders who strive for excellence.
Meaning: Adventure, freedom, and strength
MaineStCoons Midnight Rider is our striking black silver classic tabby with white stud, a true king in every sense. The son of our beloved Abissal Rumba, affectionately known as "Gizzy," Rider carries on the legacy with his impressive physique and vibrant personality. With strong boning, a long, muscular body, an exquisite bushy tail that seems to go on forever, and a powerful, masculine muzzle, Rider is the epitome of Maine Coon excellence.
Always the adventurer, Rider is full of energy, mischief, and charm, constantly on the move, whether he's playing, exploring, or stirring up a little trouble. His zest for life is matched only by his potential as a cornerstone of our breeding program. Unrelated to Oscar or any of our other male bloodlines, Rider offers exciting opportunities for pairing, particularly with the daughters of Oscar, Toby, or Dreamy.
However, his primary role will be to strengthen and enhance our silver lines.
In the coming month, Rider will undergo an echocardiogram and hip scans to ensure his health and readiness for the next steps in his journey. With his stunning looks, robust build, and lively spirit, MaineStCoons Rider is poised to make a lasting impact on our breeding program and the Maine Coon breed as a whole.
Meaning: Wishes do come true.
NOW RETIRED & SEEKING FOREVER HOME
TICA Southeast's #1 Maine Coon for 2025, Dandy is our pride and joy out of RW SGC Bigmeow OscarWinner of MaineStCoons and Mainemarie Eliana of MaineStCoons.
Recently retired, Dandy's last litter is currently growing up in our nursery under the tender care of Mama Cat Sweet Tea. He is now looking for the just right forever home where he can rule his kingdom from with a gentle paw from a window seat with a view.
Dandy is a sweet, tenderhearted brown classic tabby boy that is affectionate and patient, just like his father. He is prone to motion sickness and will do best in a home where his family is not looking for a boy that loves car rides, as they aren't his favorite.
Meaning: Black Bird
Affectionately known as Birdie, Mainelyclassic Raven is the embodiment of grace, charm, and timeless beauty.

With her calm, sweet, and incredibly affectionate nature, Birdie wins hearts wherever she goes. Her striking eyes and breathtaking silver tortie coat with white make her a true vision of elegance, perfectly complementing her loving personality.
We are profoundly grateful to Cari Tucker of Mishikoonz and Susan Milburn of Cascademtn for entrusting us with this extraordinary legacy from the late, esteemed breeder Rae Sammis. Birdie is more than a remarkable queen—she is a treasure, and we are honored to have her as part of our Maine Street Coons family.
Meaning: Sweet Southern goodness
Affectionately known as Sweet Tea, Sassietats Sweet Tea of MaineStCoons is a stunning black classic torbie with high white, often mistaken for a calico, with huge copper eyes that captivate everyone she meets. A treasured gift from the now-retired breeder Lydia Chapman, Sweet Tea’s pedigree is brimming with Maine Coon royalty, making her a true queen in every sense.
Sweet Tea is the epitome of maternal grace, happiest when she’s pregnant or lovingly raising her babies. Her kittens inherit her sweet, good-natured temperament, with an extra sprinkle of charm—just like the beverage she’s named after.
Tea brings to mind the warmth of long summer days spent on a wraparound porch, savoring life’s simple pleasures. More than a beautiful queen; she’s a reminder of the joy found in family, tradition, and the little moments that make life special.
Meaning: A girl of higher social class
Born in July 2024 to our legendary Oscar and the graceful Gizzy, Grand Champion MaineStCoons Uptown Girl—affectionately known as Girly—is a stunning black silver classic tabby with high white. Girly combines phenomenal size and boning for a female with a beautifully feminine expression and an outgoing personality that captivates everyone she meets.
Competing as a female in the show hall is no small feat, as the breed standard is written with mature males in mind. Yet, at just 11 months old, Girly attended a single TICA show and achieved what many only dream of—earning Top 10 Allbreed Cat recognition from six different judges and securing the coveted title of TICA Grand Champion. A one-show grand is a remarkable accomplishment, but for a young female to achieve it speaks volumes about the quality and dedication behind Maine Street Coons. It was a moment of immense pride for our program.
Girly is set to officially join our breeding program following her upcoming echocardiogram, and we couldn’t be more excited for the future. With her exceptional qualities and lineage, her kittens are sure to carry on her legacy of beauty, charm, and excellence.

With her striking black silver torbie coat and captivating personality, she’s nothing short of a showstopper.
CiCi’s health and vitality are as impressive as her looks. With clear DNA and a flawless echocardiogram, she’s now ready to step into her next big role—motherhood! We’re overjoyed to announce that CiCi is expecting her first litter of kittens in early 2026.
As a rising star in our program, CiCi’s legacy is just beginning, and we can’t wait to see the incredible impact she’ll have on the future of Maine Street Coons.

UP & COMING QUEEN
Affectionately known as Delilah, Shaggycoonz Oh My Delilah is a drop-dead gorgeous black classic torbie who joined us from our wonderful friends Denise DeJarnette and Lori McGill in St. Petersburg, Florida. With her vibrant colors, luxurious coat, and playful personality, Delilah is the perfect mix of beauty and mischief.
A true entertainer, Delilah is a ball of laughs who keeps us on our toes. She’s happiest chasing springs, playing fetch, or showing off her toy collection, but she still makes time to seek out scratches and deliver her signature headbutts—always on her own terms.
With clear DNA and an echocardiogram scheduled for May 2026 after her first birthday, Delilah is poised for an exciting future. We can’t wait to see the incredible kittens she and Toby will bring into the world later in 2026. This spirited girl is a joy to have in our program, and her legacy is sure to be as vibrant as she is.
