There's something fitting about a Boston family owning a Maine Coon — the breed has deep New England roots, and Boston is as New England as it gets. Dashing Coons is a TICA-registered European Maine Coon cattery in Southern Illinois, and we deliver to Boston through our personal flight nanny service. Your kitten travels in-cabin — never in cargo — and is handed off to you at Logan.

The Maine Coon's New England Heritage

The Maine Coon is the official state cat of Maine, and the breed's origins trace back to the working cats of New England — cats that survived harsh winters, hunted on farms, and sailed on ships. The polydactyl trait, in particular, was common in New England port cats, and Boston families who choose a polydactyl Maine Coon are connecting with a piece of genuine regional history. Our European bloodlines take that heritage and amplify it — producing cats with the most dramatic expression of the breed's original traits.

Black Smoke, Blue Smoke, and Polydactyl

We specialize in black smoke and blue smoke Maine Coons — kittens born nearly solid black that reveal a stunning silver undercoat over the first year. We also breed polydactyl Maine Coons with the extra-toe trait that traces back to the breed's New England origins. Boston families who find us often say they searched for months for a breeder who could offer both authentic European structure and the polydactyl trait.

Flight Nanny Service to Boston

We arrange a personal flight nanny for Boston deliveries — a trusted individual who travels with your kitten in the cabin of a commercial flight and hands them off to you at Logan International. Your kitten is never alone, never in cargo, and never handled by strangers. We coordinate the full logistics and keep you updated throughout the journey.
