When people ask, what is the cost of a well bred Maine Coon, the honest answer is complicated. We keep detailed books on what we spend to raise our Maine Coon kittens and Maine Coon cats, so we thought we'd share those details with everyone. From Veterinary care and health to OFA heart and hip screening. Food and nutrition. The cost of obtaining and caring for breeding cats and kittens. Emergency care and illness related expenses. All of it broken down, year by year, thanks to the power of Claude Cowork and Claude Fable 5. We share all of it, right here, because "why do kittens cost that much?" deserves a rock solid answer (and because enough with this "adopt don't shop!" rhetoric. True preservation breeders aren't breeding for profit; I'm bringing the receipts to prove it. 😼)
