Tropikoons Maine Coon Cats | Breeder | Product Recommendations

Some recommendations from Tropikoons!

We have been breeding for quite some time, and along the way we’ve found several products that we feel are worth recommending.

FOOD

We feed and recommend Royal Canin Mother Babycat food. Our kittens are free fed this food along with 2 meals a day of Blue Ridge Beef Kitten Mix (see below.) They are accustomed to these foods. If you prefer to feed something different, kittens must be transitioned slowly from this diet to avoid stomach problems. Always switch food slowly by adding new food to what they are currently feeding. I do not feed canned food until kittens are 4 months of age so if you wish to feed canned (any brand of your choice,) also add to their diet slowly. At 4 month of age you can switch from Royal Canin Mother Babycat food to Royal Canin Dry Kitten Food. I also like and recommend Famina Dry Kitten Food or Solid Gold Dry Cat Food.

LITTER

Our kittens are accustomed to Tidy Cats Breeze All-In-One Cat Litter. I realize there are lots of cat litter varieties to choose from but, if you decide to switch to a different type of litter, make the transition slowly and carefully. In general, most cats prefer unscented litters.

TREATS

When it’s time for treats, I highly recommend Halo’s Liv-A-Littles Grain Free 100% Chicken Breast Freeze-Dried Treats. These are made in the USA with NO artificial ingredients. They are freeze-dried to achieve the ideal texture and lock in nutrients. Best of all, they are low-calorie and cats absolutely love them.

SCRATCHING POSTS & CAT TREES

Remember, while your kitten is small now, it will soon grow to be a long, large Maine Coon cat. Maine Coons need tall, sturdy, scratching posts and trees. One of the best scratching posts I’ve found is the SmartCat Pioneer Pet Ultimate Scratching Post. Another is the scratching post from Custom Quality Furniture. Either will work well for your Maine Coon.

And, if you are looking for a fabulous cat tree, check out Furwood Forest Rustic Cat Trees. Each Furwood Forest Cat Tree is a handmade work of art which your cat will absolutely love climbing and sitting on.

I have recently come upon another great purveyor of cat trees. Fur Fluffy trees are well-built (in the USA) and the kittens seem to just love them!

CAT TEASERS & TOYS

Playing with your kitten or cat isn’t just fun, but it is recommended as a way to keep them active and engaged their whole life. We highly recommend Karraway Q Toys for their wide selection and quality!

PROBIOTICS

Probiotics can improve food digestibility and strengthen the immune system. I recommend Felix’s Flora or AnimalBiome Cat Gut Balance which can be found on Amazon.
