Maine Coon Cats in Louisiana: Relaxed Giants for Busy Homes

The Maine Coon has the size of a bobcat and the manners of a family dog. They rarely startle at noise, settle quickly in new places and tend to befriend every other animal in the house. That calm, social nature suits Louisiana homes where there's always something going on.

History and Origins

A popular myth says the breed came from cats mating with raccoons, which is biologically impossible; the "coon" likely refers to the bushy, ringed tail. Other stories link them to Viking ships' cats or Norwegian Forest Cats, but those remain theories. Most likely, long-haired cats arriving with sailors and settlers adapted to New England's climate over many generations.

Personality

Maine Coon kittens are curious and clownish, then mature into patient, laid-back adults. They tolerate handling well and often seek out children to play with. Expect soft trills and chirps when they want your attention.

Nutrition and Feeding

Feed a complete, high-protein kitten diet through the first year, then switch gradually to an adult formula. Big cats can be big eaters, so measure portions and use treats sparingly. In Louisiana's humid heat, wet food and a water fountain support good hydration.

Grooming and Care

Humidity can make the undercoat clump, so brush two or three times a week and work out small tangles before they become mats. If your cat ever gets wet, dry the dense coat completely to prevent skin irritation. Trim nails and check ears as part of the routine.

Specific Needs

Hurricane season calls for a plan: a carrier sized for a 15–20 lb adult, food and water for several days, and vaccination records in a waterproof bag. Many evacuation shelters require pets to arrive crated with proof of vaccines. At home, keep your cat indoors and provide XL litter boxes and sturdy cat trees.

Need to Know

• Pack a hurricane go-bag: carrier, food, water, meds and records.

• Store vaccine records in a waterproof pouch for evacuations.

• Brush often; humidity encourages undercoat clumping.

• Choose a carrier rated for a 20 lb adult cat.

• Ask whether parents were DNA-tested for HCM and SMA.

• They usually get along well in multi-pet homes.

• Indoor living keeps them safe from heat, traffic and wildlife.

FAQs

Are Maine Coon cats part raccoon?
No. Cats and raccoons cannot interbreed; the name likely comes from the breed's ringed, bushy tail.

Can they handle Louisiana humidity?
Yes, as indoor cats in air-conditioned homes. Regular brushing keeps the coat from clumping in damp weather.

What should go in my cat's hurricane kit?
A sturdy carrier, several days of food and water, any medications, a litter tray, and vaccination and microchip records.

Will a Maine Coon get along with my other cat?
Usually, yes. Introduce them gradually with separate rooms and scent swapping before face-to-face meetings.

How is my kitten delivered to Louisiana?
Options include air cargo or an in-cabin flight nanny to New Orleans or another airport, ground delivery within 500 miles, or pickup in person.

Our experience with Purebredkitties was wonderful! Communication was great, and we even got to FaceTime with our kitten before bringing her home. She was exactly as we expected and is already doing great with our family after just two days. One small note is that pedigree papers weren't included and cost extra, which was a bit pricey since she arrived spayed. Overall, even though it was expensive, it was worth it. The quality and size of our kitten are amazing!

The whole experience of adopting a pet with this fantastic team has been nothing short of wonderful. Now, I have the joy of being a devoted pet mom to a gorgeous kitten I named Princess. I'm already looking forward to adopting another fur baby with Maria's help in the future. I'm absolutely thrilled and can't thank you all enough!

Proud mom of four Sphynx kitties! I adopted all of my adorable feline friends from Maria at purebredkitties.com, and I couldn’t be happier. Each one is a treasure, and working with Maria has been an absolute delight!

The whole journey to bring our fluffy bundle of joy home was fantastic. Maria is incredibly kind and always ready to answer all our questions. I really appreciate how seriously they take the health of the cats. Our kitten arrived with a minor case of the sniffles, likely from the airport travel, but it was easily and quickly resolved. Plus, the video call we had to meet our little guy beforehand was a wonderful way to get a glimpse of his personality and feel confident in our decision. I'm definitely recommending Purebred Kitties to all my friends who are looking to get their own Maine Coon.
