Stunning ‘Rainbow Tortie' Maine Coon Cat Should Come With a Pot of Gold
Growing up, I never bought into the whole "there's a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow" thing. I was a very cynical child, but one thing I did love and definitely believed was magical was cats. I was convinced that they were just like the Warrior Cats books!
This Maine Coon changed my mind on the pot of gold bit. She's so stunning that he's almost like a real-life miracle, and if she can be real, maybe I should be looking for the ends of more rainbows. If she's there, so am I!

The Mossy Cottage Maine Coon Cattery has some of the most vivid cats I've ever seen. They specialize in European Maine Coon with deep, rich colors, and they do an incredible job. I've never seen a cat from here who didn't amaze me!

This cat is actually a Torbie! That's a Tortoiseshell (Tortie) and Tabby cross, meaning she has both the classic Tortoiseshell patchwork and the Tabby stripes. That's why her fur is so many different colors, and the red/orange patches around her face look a little splotchy. It's how she was meant to be!
She's got some red, orange, brown, and grey in her coat. That, mixed with her green-blue eyes, makes her a true rainbow Maine Coon! Other kittens, though less colorful, definitely stand out from the crowd as well:

These kittens are Black Smoke; you can tell because of their lighter fur. It looks like a puff of smoke on their chest! These kittens are a little older and have likely gone to their forever homes. I hope they're having the most fun!
Do Rare Colored Maine Coons Cost More?
If you've decided to purchase a Maine Coon, your decisions and research are only just beginning. First, you have to make sure that you're sourcing a cat from an accredited, ethical breeder. That is the single most important thing. Once you find one, the fun can begin.
There are dozens of Maine Coon coat variations out there, and some are harder to come by than others. If you want a rarer colored cat, be prepared to pay a premium. Some of the rarest (and most expensive) Maine Coon variations are:
- Blue Tortie
- Golden
- Smoke
- Solid orange (females)
There are other factors that contribute to how expensive a Maine Coon will be, too. European Maine Coons, which are larger, usually cost more. Polydactyl Maine Coons (cats with extra toes) will jack up the price as well.
While we don't know how much this stunning Rainbow Tortie Maine Coon would cost, she's worth it. I would love to have her!
