How to register a Foundation Maine Coon
IF YOU HAVE LOCATED a Maine Coon of unknown origin in the state of Maine, it is still possible to register it. Contact
The American Cat Association for a registration application. Fill in the spaces
that you have accurate information for, name of cat, colour, sex and date of birth (if known,
if not an estimated date). Be sure to identify it as a Maine Coon where the form asks for the
breed. Under Sire and dam, if unknown, write 'unknown' in each and every line available. Send
with the fee and the resulting registration number will be the start of the pedigree for its
offspring.
The American Cat Association is the oldest cat registration in the United States. Although small,
it is recognized for official documentation of cat pedigrees by all other associations. Because
of the ability to register with the ACA and transfer later to other organizations, the cats
first bred and registered with the ACA, can then find their rightful place in the show ring
and within the world-wide recognition of the breed as a whole.
