Hi, I'm Tom Barnes,
I’m the founder and lead writer at I Want A Maine Coon.
My love for Maine Coons started when I adopted a retired show cat named Henry, many years back. Henry has since passed away (RIP Henry), but now I share my home with two beautiful Maine Coon girls, Thelma and Louise.
I’ve dedicated my spare time to learning all I can about Maine Coons cats.
I love Maine Coons AND I love websites, so I hope to bring my passions together to help people find Maine Coon kittens for sale, or local rescue centres, if they’d rather adopt.
My goal is to provide a the best online resource for anyone who wants to find a Maine Coon cat, and welcome them into their home!
My Story
I Want A Maine Coon was born from a deep love for this majestic breed and a desire to help others find the perfect Maine Coon companion. My journey started years ago when I adopted Henry, a retired show cat who quickly became the heart of my home. Losing Henry was difficult, but now I share my life with two spirited Maine Coons, Thelma and Louise, who have further deepened my connection to the breed.
Through I Want A Maine Coon, I combine my passion for these gentle giants with my love for web design. The result is an online space where Maine Coon enthusiasts can find breeders, rescue centers, and valuable insights into Maine Coon care. My goal is simple: to make it easier for people to welcome these wonderful cats into their homes, whether through adoption or purchase from ethical breeders.
