Maine Coon Kittens for Sale in Kentucky

Arriving in Kentucky

Louisville's airport sits just south of the city center, so most of Louisville is home within half an hour, and Lexington's Blue Grass Airport, out among the horse farms west of town, is just as handy there. Northern Kentucky families collecting at CVG have an easy run to Florence and Covington. Bowling Green is closer to Nashville's airport than to Louisville's, about an hour's drive. In July, cool the car before the kitten gets in; in January, watch for ice on the interstate and leave extra time. Give the kitten a bathroom or small bedroom to itself at first, which lets it learn one set of sounds and smells at a time, and have the vet visit booked for within 72 hours.

When Is the Best Time to Bring a Kitten to Kentucky?

Kentucky summers are hot and humid, and winter ice can delay flights. A flight nanny avoids the cargo restrictions that come with both.

Easiest months: April to June and September to November. Plan around: July, August and ice in winter.

Everyday Life With a Maine Coon in Kentucky

Old Louisville is full of tall Victorian homes, and high ceilings are an invitation to build upward, with a cat tree that reaches toward the crown molding and shelves stepping up one wall. In the subdivisions around Lexington, a bay window or a sunroom makes an easy lookout. Spring brings Derby parties and Louisville's big riverfront fireworks show, so plan a closed door and a radio for the loudest nights. A feeder outside the window keeps cardinals in view on gray winter days. When an ice storm knocks the power out, a covered carrier with a fleece blanket inside makes a warm den until the heat comes back.
