Problems with Maine Coon breeders in Wantage, Oxfordshire and Westerham, Kent

Maine Coons are beautiful cats, but unfortunately not every Maine Coon breeder is the model of professionalism. Anyone seeking to purchase a Maine Coon kitten should tread very carefully as there seem to be a number of breeders who cannot be taken at their word.  This blog details my personal experiences with a breeder in Wantage, Oxfordshire going by the name of Catherine Carroll, and a breeder in Westerham, Kent, who went by the name of Jackie Newark. All opinions expressed are mine and mine alone.

In late 2013, having recently moved out of a small flat and into a larger house, my partner and I decided that we were in a position offer a great indoor home to a Maine Coon. We had no idea it would prove so stressful!

Whether my experience with the two breeders mentioned above is typical, I have no idea. What I do know is that I visited both of these breeders and put down hefty deposits for kittens, only to be told weeks later that the kittens were not available after all.
