Frequently Asked Questions About White Maine Coons

A white Maine Coon is not an albino cat. Instead, white is a coat color caused by a dominant masking gene that hides the underlying color or pattern. Genetically, a white Maine Coon may carry tabby, solid, or other color genes beneath the white coat.

True white Maine Coons have:

• A pure white coat with no visible markings
• Pink paw pads and nose leather
• Eye colors that may be blue, green, gold, or odd-eyed

Because white coats mask underlying genetics, ethical breeders must carefully plan pairings to preserve health, structure, and temperament.

Yes — white Maine Coon kittens are considered rare, especially when produced responsibly. Ethical breeders do not breed specifically for white alone; instead, white appears naturally in certain lines when genetics align correctly.

Factors that contribute to their rarity include:

• Limited breeding combinations
• Smaller litter percentages producing white kittens
• Ethical breeding limits (no overbreeding)

This is why white Maine Coon kittens are often reserved quickly and may involve a waiting list.

White Maine Coons share the same beloved temperament as other Maine Coon cats. Coat color does not affect personality.

White Maine Coon cats are known for being:

• Affectionate and people-oriented
• Intelligent and curious
• Calm yet playful
• Gentle with children and other pets
• Loyal without being clingy

Many owners describe their white Maine Coon as a “soft-spoken companion” that enjoys following family members from room to room.

One of the most captivating features of a white Maine Coon is eye color. White Maine Coons may have:

• Blue eyes
• Green eyes
• Gold or copper eyes
• Odd eyes (one blue, one gold/green)

Eye color is influenced by genetics and may change slightly as kittens mature. Odd-eyed white Maine Coons are especially rare and highly prized.

This is an important and often misunderstood question.

Some white cats with blue eyes may carry a higher risk of congenital deafness due to the same gene that causes white coat color. However:

• Not all white Maine Coons are deaf
• Not all blue-eyed white Maine Coons are deaf
• Ethical breeders avoid risky pairings
• Reputable breeders monitor development closely

At Aristocatic Maine Coons, health and quality of life always come before appearance

White Maine Coons require the same grooming as other Maine Coons, with a few additional considerations:

• Regular brushing to prevent matting
• Occasional baths to maintain coat brightness
• Clean feeding areas to prevent staining
• High-quality diet to support coat health

With proper care, a white Maine Coon’s coat remains stunning, soft, and luxurious.

Yes. White Maine Coons are best kept indoors.

Because of their light coat color:

• They are more visible outdoors
• Sun exposure should be limited
• Indoor living protects coat condition and safety

White Maine Coons thrive as indoor companions when provided with enrichment, climbing space, and interaction.

Because white Maine Coons are in high demand, they are often misrepresented online. Many listings advertising “white Maine Coon kittens” are not pedigree Maine Coons at all.

A reputable breeder will:

• Provide registration documentation
• Explain coat genetics honestly
• Offer health guarantees
• Allow questions and transparency
• Never rush a sale

If you’re researching where to buy a white Maine Coon kitten, choosing an ethical breeder protects you from scams and heartbreak.

Because availability is limited, most families reserve white Maine Coon kittens through a waitlist process:

1. Submit an application
2. Discuss upcoming litters
3. Join the reservation list
4. Be notified if a white kitten becomes available
5. Reserve once confirmed

This process ensures fair placement and responsible breeding.
