Okay, so I’ve been wanting a Maine Coon kitten for a while now. They’re just so fluffy and majestic! I finally decided to take the plunge and started looking for breeders in Indiana. I figured since I live here, it would be easier to find a reputable breeder and maybe a bit cheaper than getting one from out of state.
First things first, I needed to figure out where to even start looking. I jumped on the computer and started doing some research. There are so many breeders out there. After an hour of searching I typed in “Maine Coon kittens for sale in Indiana.” That narrowed it down a bit. I found a few websites that listed breeders in my area, which was a good start.
After I had a list of potential breeders, I started digging deeper. I read reviews, checked out their websites, and looked for any red flags. One thing I noticed is that the prices varied a lot. Some breeders were charging an arm and a leg, while others seemed more reasonable. I started making calls and sending emails to get a feel for each breeder. I asked about their breeding practices, the health of their kittens, and of course, the price. Some breeders were really friendly and informative, while others were a bit… curt. I learned that adoption is cheaper but it seems that finding purebred from them is not that easy, and that’s what I want, a purebred cat.

- Checked reviews and websites
- Contacted breeders for more info
After a few days of research and phone calls, I finally narrowed it down to a couple of breeders that I felt comfortable with. They were both within driving distance, so I decided to visit them in person. The first breeder I visited was in Fort Wayne. They had a beautiful cattery, and the kittens were absolutely adorable. But the price was a bit higher than I was hoping for. I mean, they are purebred, gorgeous, and it seems they have been in this business for a long time, so it’s expected.
The second breeder I visited was in Greenwood. They were a smaller operation, but the kittens were just as cute. And the best part? The price was much more in line with what I was willing to pay. We’re talking around $1,500, which seems to be the going rate for a purebred Maine Coon kitten from a reputable breeder.
Making the Decision
After visiting both breeders, I went home and thought it over. Both had their pros and cons. But in the end, I decided to go with the breeder in Greenwood. They were super nice, the kittens were healthy and playful, and the price was right. I went back the next day, chose a kitten, paid the price, and got my lovely cat home.
So, if you’re looking for a Maine Coon kitten in Indiana, be prepared to do some research and shop around. Prices can vary quite a bit, but you can generally expect to pay between $1,000 and $2,000 for a kitten from a reputable breeder. Good luck with your search and I hope you find the perfect furry friend!
