There’s plenty happening in the Maine Coon nursery at Sarec’s! This month we’re sharing a little subscriber-only sneak peek at Ulyssa’s newest babies, talking about seasonal shedding and keeping those gorgeous Maine Coon coats looking their best, and sharing another one of Amanda’s Top Picks.

And yes... this month’s pick is especially appropriate for our giant floofs. 😂

❤️ Ulyssa & Ender Have Six Beautiful Babies!

Ulyssa and Ender welcomed six gorgeous Maine Coon kittens on August 18th — four boys and two girls!

This litter is giving us all the smoky goodness we were hoping for, with babies in beautiful variations of black, black smoke and high silver.

They’re still little, so we're keeping most of the details under wraps for now. Their official individual photos and introductions will be posted at the end of September, when we'll also begin working through our waitlist for reservations.

But... newsletter subscribers deserve a little something extra. 😉

👀 How About a Sneak Peek?

We’re not ready to introduce everyone quite yet, but we couldn't resist sharing a tiny preview of what's coming!

Got Milk? 🥛😂

And yes, those little yellow mouths are milk mustaches! Apparently some of Ulyssa's babies believe there's no point in enjoying a good meal unless you're wearing a little of it afterward. 😂❤️

🍂 It’s Floof Season: Let’s Talk Maine Coon Coat Care

One of the things that makes a Maine Coon so spectacular is that gorgeous coat — but all that floof requires a little maintenance!

As the seasons change, you may notice more loose hair around the house and more coat coming out during brushing. Maine Coons have substantial coats that benefit from regular grooming, and staying ahead of loose hair and tangles is much easier than dealing with mats once they’ve formed.

A good brushing routine also gives you a chance to check their skin and catch little tangles before they turn into bigger ones.

A Few Tips From Sarec’s 🐾

Brush regularly. A few short grooming sessions throughout the week are often easier on both you and your cat than one marathon brushing session.

Know the trouble spots. Pay extra attention behind the ears, under the front legs, around the belly and britches, and around that magnificent Maine Coon ruff.

Catch tangles early. Small tangles are much easier — and much more comfortable for your cat — to deal with before they become mats.

Start young. Get your kitten accustomed to brushing, having their paws handled and being gently groomed. It makes life much easier when that tiny fluffball grows into a large, very fluffy adult. ❤️

And speaking of brushing...

⭐ AMANDA’S TOP PICK

The Bailey Brush

With all this talk about shedding, this month’s Top Pick was an easy one: the Bailey Brush!

I love this brush because it’s simple, gentle and really good at grabbing loose fur. It's made from flexible silicone with long bristles that work beautifully with all that Maine Coon floof. ❤️

And because it’s gentle, it’s an easy tool to work into your regular grooming routine. Anything that gets the loose hair into the brush instead of floating around my house gets my vote. 😂

🐾 What’s Coming at Sarec’s?

The end of September is going to be an exciting one!

Ulyssa and Ender’s babies will get their official individual photos and introductions, and we’ll begin working through our approved Maine Coon waitlist for reservations.

So if you’ve been patiently waiting to meet these little smoke babies, keep an eye on your inbox! ❤️

❤️ UNTIL NEXT MONTH...

We hope you enjoyed our first monthly peek into life at Sarec’s!

We love staying connected with our families long after their kittens go home — and hopefully making the wait a little more fun for those of you still waiting for yours. We love getting to share these little moments with you — milk mustaches and all. 😂

We’ll be back next month with more nursery news, Maine Coon tips, Amanda’s Top Pick — and we’ll be introducing our very first Sarec’s Family Spotlight! ❤️

And don't forget — we LOVE updates! Reply anytime with pictures of your Sarec’s baby. We never get tired of seeing them. 😻
