Maine Coon cats are extremely popular in the United States because of their long shaggy coat and huge size. However, Oregon is a long way from Maine, and breeders may not be as easy to find as they are in the northeastern United States. If you live in Oregon and would like to purchase one of these majestic cats, keep reading while we look at several breeders you can use to obtain one. For each entry, we’ll provide you with a website, location, and a short description to help you find one that can help you.
The 4 Maine Coon Breeders in Oregon
1. Maine Cave
📍 Bend, Oregon
You can find the Maine Cave in Bend, Oregon, specializing in the Maine Coon Cat. They display their kings and queens on the website, so you can get a good idea of how your kitten will look.

2. AdoptaPet
📍 United States
AdoptaPet works to put Maine Coons and other animals in a good home. It has a large database, and there were several for sale at the time of this writing. Adopting your pet can often significantly reduce costs while providing a much-needed home to an animal in need.

New Kitten Preparations
Since you're hard at work researching which breed to welcome into your life, it's probably a good time to introduce a few kitten essentials that will help seamlessly transition your furbaby into their new home. Ensuring you provide them with the proper care, comfort, and enrichment will help your kitten thrive and grow into a well-established and healthy feline! Check out our top recommendations in our New Kitten Checklist linked below!
Other Ways to Obtain a Maine Coon
We highly recommend checking with all of the local animal shelters in your area. While it’s a long shot, finding a Maine Coon at a local shelter can save you hundreds of dollars, and they often have many of their shots already. Some will even be spayed or neutered, saving you more money and a trip to the vet.
Conclusion
As you can see, there are several places you can get a Maine Coon cat. Selection is better online, and some services like Big Coons, and MaineCoon.Org are highly respected and operate all year long, so you have a good chance of obtaining one. However, if you like to visit your breeder to check out the facilities, Stumptown Coons or the Maine Cave are excellent options.
