Whispurridge CatteryParagould, AR Show
About We are thrilled to welcome you to our site. WhisPurRidge Cattery is a very small in home cattery located in Northeast Arkansas that is registered with the Cat Fancier’s Association (CFA), the Cat Fancier’s Federation (CFF), and with The International Cat Association (TICA). Our family consists of two adults, four grown children, nine grandchildren, five dogs, one black 18 year old house cat named George, and our and our beautiful Maine Coon queens, Willow, Paisley, Maggie, Primrose, Fancy and our King Gabriel. All of our animals are raised in our home and underfoot. All of our kittens are raised in a clean healthy environment to assist them to flourish, grow, and socialize. They are adult, pet, and children friendly. Our four grown children, their spouses, our nine grandchildren and friends are ready and willing to spoil all our animals at every visit. We live on a six acre farm on top of Crowley’s Ridge in the beautiful natural state of Arkansas. We are nestled in the northeast corner of the state not far from the Missouri state line and Memphis, TN is just a hop, skip, and a jump away. Our desire to breed and raise Maine Coons is due to their awesome personality. These “gentle giants” are known as the Dog Lover’s cat. They are very intelligent and can be taught behavior and tricks just like dogs. They are able to learn to sit, lie down, stay, and sit up just to name a few. Some will trill and chirp with different music as if they’re singing. We want our kittens to be purchased by true animal lovers that desire to have the companionship of a true friend.

If you are a Maine Coon breeder that wishes to be listed here, please contact: Maine Coon Kittens Texas RescueIf you’ve always dreamed of owning a Maine Coon kitten or cat, but their average price tag of $1,000 per cat has always been out of your reach, make sure you take a look at Maine Coon rescue centers nearby. A sad fact of life is that due to no fault of the cat, scenarios will always arise in life whereby an owner is unable to look after their expensive Maine Coon kitten or cat anymore. Whilst very upsetting, for the owner and cat in question, this does open up the opportunity for you to adopt a mixed or purebred Maine Coon. Giving any cat from a shelter or rescue center a forever home is a very worthy cause, and will also save you a fortune at the same time! Maine Coon rescue centers operate via two channels: online and via single shelters: 1. Online Maine Coon Rescue CentersThese organizations work in conjunction with lots of different shelters, across a wide geographical area. Working with more than one shelter is advantageous since it enables them to list more mixed or purebred Maine Coons online, that have been put up for adoption. Individuals hoping to adopt a Maine Coon must keep in mind that Maine Coon rescue centers are few and far between. This is primarily due to the fact that with their expensive price tag and coveted status, Maine Coons are less likely to be given up for adoption. Keep in mind that these rescue centers have a large following of hopeful owners, eager to buy a cheap Maine Coon kitten or cat. There is thus a lot of competition within the adoption world! 2. Single SheltersSingle shelters are slightly different from Maine Coon rescue centers online since they take in all cat breeds, not just mixed or purebred Maine Coons. These amazing organizations provide care and lodgings for cats until suitable owners are found to adopt the cats. Some single shelters are focussed almost entirely on the Maine Coon breed, offering all mixed and purebred Maine Coons a home. It is common for these shelters to also look after other impressive cat breeds from time to time though, such as the Ragdoll. Are Maine Coon Rescue Centers Right For You?If adopting from a Maine Coon rescue center or shelter sounds right for you, make sure you take time to get to know the rescue centers and shelters nearby. Then, visit and keep in regular contact with these businesses, making your desire to adopt a Maine Coon clear. Whilst I wouldn’t encourage you to pester these companies, you do want to be in regular enough friendly contact with them so that you are at the forefront of their minds when the ideal kitten or cat is put up for adoption! Please keep in mind that you might have to wait a little longer for the opportunity of adopting a Maine Coon kitten or cat. This is especially true since many other hopeful owners are on the lookout for free Maine Coons, or kittens they can adopt. Maine Coon Rescue Centers In TexasNow that we’ve covered what Maine Coon Rescue Centers actually are, here are a few online organizations that you might be interested in keeping in touch with:
I have included details of the organization Rescue Me since they offer a Maine Coon rescue service (and other cat breeds) across other states too. Therefore, if you cannot find the ideal mixed or purebred Maine Coon in Texas online, maybe adopting from a different state is an option you might be considering. Maine Coon Kittens For Sale Under $500 In TexasMaine Coon cats are an extremely expensive cat breed. You can expect to pay an average of $1,000 per kitten, rising anywhere up to $2,000 depending upon the quality of the kitten being purchased; and their respective pedigree status. For those of you looking to buy a show Maine Coon cat, then the price increases further to approximately $2,500 per kitten. Although not 100% impossible, it is unlikely that you will ever find a registered Maine Coon breeder selling purebred Maine Coon kittens for $500 or less. If $500 is the maximum price you can afford to pay for a Maine Coon, consider re-homing an older Maine Coon cat from a Maine Coon Rescue Center, or cat shelter. Older Maine Coons are still expensive but do not command the massively high prices that kittens do. Have you considered purchasing or adopting a part-Maine Coon, or Maine Coon mix? These cats share some of the much-loved personality traits and looks of purebred Maine Coons. Please be aware though that mixed breeds are exactly that, a mix of more than one cat breed genetics and DNA. Maine Coon mixes are cheaper to buy, however, you cannot guarantee the level of Maine Coon cat genetics in the cat, therefore the personality or looks of the cat once fully grown might not be as you hope for. If you are looking for a Maine Coon for sale at $500 in Texas, then make sure you read my ‘10 Places To Find FREE Maine Coon Kitten Guide’. Giant Maine Coon Kittens For SaleAs much as we all want the biggest Maine Coon cat on record, the simple truth of the matter is that NO BREEDER can guarantee that any of their kittens will grow to be giant Maine Coons.
