Adopting a Maine Coon in Newfoundland
The Maine Coon is one of the largest and most beloved cat breeds: a big, gentle, shaggy-coated cat famously good with families. Purebred Maine Coons are genuinely rare in Newfoundland rescue, as pedigrees almost always are here, but long-coated Domestic Longhairs with a Maine-Coon look, the size, the tufted ears, the bushy tail, do turn up at the City of St. John's Humane Services from time to time. This page gathers any adoptable Maine Coon and Maine Coon-type cats from the NL shelters we cover into one place, refreshed regularly.
If no purebred is listed today, a fluffy Domestic Longhair often gives you the same gentle-giant appeal without the breeder price or the inherited health risks. Read the listing and ask the shelter about size, coat care, and temperament.
What to know before you adopt
Maine Coons and Maine-Coon-type cats are known for being sociable, dog-like, and tolerant, often happy with children and other pets, which is a big part of their appeal. The trade-offs are size and coat: they are large cats that eat accordingly, and the long double coat needs regular brushing to prevent mats. The coat is, however, well suited to a Newfoundland winter, since the breed was built for cold New England weather.
Purebred or mix, these cats are adopted to indoor homes here, the NL norm given cold winters, busy roads, and island coyotes, and an indoor life keeps that long coat free of mats and burrs. Give a Maine-Coon-type cat regular grooming, vertical space to climb, and daily interaction, and you get one of the most affable, people-oriented cats going. Be patient on availability, since the look is in demand and the supply is thin.

Maine Coon Adoption FAQ — St. John's
How many Maine Coons are available for adoption in St. John's?
As of August 2026, there are no Maine Coons listed in St. John's rescue on LocalPetFinder right now — Maine Coons are among the rarer cats in local rescue. Inventory turns over quickly, so setting an alert is the most reliable way to catch one, or consider an adoptable Maine Coon mix.
Where can I adopt a Maine Coon near me in St. John's?
LocalPetFinder lists any adoptable Maine Coon and Maine Coon-type cats from Newfoundland rescue, led by the City of St. John's Humane Services. Purebred Maine Coons are genuinely rare in NL rescue, so fluffy Domestic Longhairs with the Maine-Coon look appear more often. Listings refresh regularly; check back if none are showing today.
Are Maine Coons good family cats?
Very much so. Maine Coons are famously sociable, gentle, and dog-like, often tolerant of children and other pets, which is exactly why they are so sought after. The main commitments are their size, they are large cats with an appetite to match, and the regular brushing their long double coat needs to stay mat-free.
Can I find a real Maine Coon in Newfoundland rescue?
Occasionally, but rarely. Pedigreed cats almost never enter NL rescue, so a true purebred Maine Coon is an uncommon find. What turns up more often is a long-coated Domestic Longhair with the Maine-Coon look, the size, tufted ears, and bushy tail, which gives you the same gentle-giant appeal with better odds and usually better health. Patience and checking back are the keys.
How much does it cost to adopt a Maine Coon in St. John's?
Adopting a Maine Coon in St. John's typically costs $100 to $300, and kittens usually carry a premium at $200 to $400. The exact fee varies by rescue, and older cats are often reduced. That fee is not a purchase price. It covers work already done on the cat: spay or neuter, vaccinations, deworming, microchip, and a basic vet workup, which would cost several hundred dollars more if you arranged it yourself after buying. Buying the same breed from a registered breeder generally runs well over $1,000, usually with a waitlist. Ask the rescue what is included before you apply, since a few include extras like a starter bag of food or a first-month insurance trial.
Are these Maine Coon cats for sale in St. John's?
Not for sale, for adoption, which is usually the better deal. Every Maine Coon here comes from a St. John's-area rescue or shelter, not a breeder, pet store, or classified seller. Adoption fees are typically $150 to $500 and already include spay or neuter, vaccinations, and a microchip, versus roughly $1,000 to $3,000+ to buy a Maine Coon from a breeder. If you searched "maine coon for sale St. John's," adopting gets you a healthy, vetted cat for a fraction of the price.
Where can I buy a Maine Coon in St. John's, and should I?
You can buy from a registered breeder, but it is worth weighing against adoption first. A reputable Maine Coon breeder typically charges $1,000 to $3,000+ and often has a waitlist, while a rescue Maine Coon costs $150 to $500 fully vetted and may be available now. Be cautious of cheap "for sale" ads on classified sites and marketplaces, which are frequently backyard breeders or kitten-mill resellers with unvetted, sometimes sick animals and no health guarantee. If you do buy, insist on seeing where the kittens were raised and getting vet records. For most St. John's families, adopting a rescue Maine Coon is cheaper, faster, and gives a cat in need a home.
