What is the weight for a maine coon suppose to be?

It depends on the cat. The Maine Coon can reach a weight of 22 pounds and a total length of 40 inches – My mother’s cat is 15 pounds.

I have a hard time believing a shelter wouldn’t feed him well. I would quicker say he was starving when they found him as most strays are.

Did they worm him at the shelter? If not I would make sure you get worming meds for him from the vet.

It varies. It depends on length and height of the cat. I think catsofmany is right…shelters don’t starve cats. I’d have him checked for worms. Chances are he was probably emaciated when they brought him in. I cant give you an exact weight but his ribs,hip bones etc. should not be showing if they are he’s definetly underweight. As long as he doesn’t have any other health problems,with regular feedings his weight should stabilize.

It depends on the age of the kitten. My cat was a fairly thin 2 lbs at 8 weeks old when I got her from the shelter, now at close to 7 months old she is a healthy 7 1/2 lbs.

Just get a quality kitten food and feed according to the directions on the label. Most cats are fairly thin when they first get to the shelter due to stress, being wormed, having to eat whatever food the shelter had donated (usually something cheap and low-quality like whiskas or meow mix or whatever) and other possible health problems. It just comes with the territory, unfortunately. Feed your cat something good and he will fill out and grow.

i have 2 maine coons and when they where kittens they where about 1-2 kg they are now about 2 years old and they are about 5-7 kg now

I have a Maine coon cat and he weighs about 14pounds i don’t belive he is over weigh it is hard to tell with all that fur

i have two cats they get dry food and wate r through out the day and ifeed them canned food twice a day. so far they have not gained much but mine are also indoor cats and do not go ou t and execercise so i am careful how much they get to eat
