THE GREAT STORYTELLERS

Mainelyclassic Raven (Birdie) x RW SGC Bigmeow Oscarwinner of MaineStCoons (Oscar)

Birdie and Oscar welcomed The Great Storytellers on August 20, 2026. Six beautiful kittens who are already showing so much of what we hoped this pairing would produce. The litter includes silver torties, two black smoke and white girls and one boy, and a black silver classic tabby with white boy, all named for authors whose stories have endured over time.

As beautiful as they are, it is still the temperament behind this pairing that excites us most. Both Birdie and Oscar are deeply affectionate, confident, and extraordinarily gentle, and we are loving the opportunity to watch their babies begin to become themselves.

Cascademtn Winona (Noni) x RW SGC Bigmeow Oscarwinner (Oscar)

A beautiful new chapter for Maine Street Coons began October 16, 2026.

Cascademtn Winona of MaineStCoons—our beloved Noni—comes from a program I have admired for years. Pairing her with Oscar brought together the exceptional beauty and type of her Cascade Mountain heritage with the extraordinary temperament and substantial boning that have become hallmarks of our own lines.

We welcomed five precious kittens—three boys and two girls—including two brown classic tabbies, one brown classic tabby with white boy, one black silver tabby female, and one black silver and high white tabby male. This pairing represents exactly how we hope to move our program forward: honoring what we have built while thoughtfully introducing qualities we have long admired.

CH MaineStCoons Carbon Copy (CiCi) x MaineStCoons Midnight Rider (Rider)

A silver pairing with power, balance, and beautiful possibility.

CiCi is an exquisite black silver mackerel torbie with emerald green eyes, a remarkably light silver coat, a powerful muzzle, and magnificent boning for a female. Rider is an exceptionally strong, long-bodied black silver classic tabby with white with an impressive head, excellent ear placement, and the substantial presence we love in our males.

We are especially excited about the potential for high-silver kittens from this pairing. Boys may be brown, black silver, or red silver tabbies, while girls may be be brown, black silver, torbies, or silver torbies–all with or without white. Beyond color, we hope to see the strength, structure, expression, and classic American Maine Coon type that made this pairing so appealing to us.

The first breeding occurred September 7, 2026. We will know if kittens are on the way by the end of the month. If we are blessed, these cuties will arrive in mid-November.

mainestcoons soul survivor (soul) x mainestcoons midnight rider (rider)

A pairing built around balance, substance, and unmistakable presence.

Soul brings beautiful expression, strong type, and the engaging personality that makes her such a special part of Maine Street Coons. Rider complements her with substantial structure, excellent boning, a long rectangular frame, and the commanding presence we value in our American Maine Coons.

Together, we expect they will produce kittens with strength without coarseness, beautiful head type, balanced proportions and the confident, affectionate temperaments that define our breeding program.

With this pairing planned for the end of 2026, we look forward to seeing how these two pedigrees come together in the next generation in the New Year.

TipsNTufts Marigold X IW BW SGC MaineStCoons Toe Be or Not Toe Be (Toby)

A Planned Pairing with Tremendous Potential

Marigold joined Maine Street Coons with this future pairing in mind. A quintessential American Maine Coon, she brings timeless beauty, exceptional type, and a deeply affectionate temperament to our homebred International Winner, Toby.

Together, we hope they will unite beautiful expression, substantial structure, exceptional temperament, and the unmistakable Maine Coon presence we work so carefully to preserve. We anticipate brown classic tabby kittens, some with white and some inheriting Toby’s naturally occurring polydactyl trait.

With a pairing planned for end of 2026, we hope to welcome kittens to the nursery in early 2027 to go home in late Spring.
