Polydactyl Maine Coon: The Complete Guide to Extra-Toed Cats
Blog post by DashingCoons · July 10, 2026
Polydactyl Maine Coons carry extra toes — a trait that traces back to the breed's New England origins and is fully accepted by TICA under the MCP designation.
What is a polydactyl Maine Coon?
A polydactyl cat has extra toes on one or more paws. In Maine Coons, this trait is accepted and can vary in expression — from subtle extra toes to large mitten-style paws.
Pricing
Polydactyl Maine Coon kittens are typically priced similarly to or slightly below standard Maine Coon kittens from the same cattery, depending on coat color, bloodlines, and other traits. At Dashing Coons, polydactyl kittens are priced in the same range as our standard kittens. Be cautious of polydactyl Maine Coon kittens priced significantly below market rate. Reputable breeders invest heavily in health testing, TICA registration, and proper socialization — and that investment is reflected in the price. A kitten priced at $500–$1,000 from an unregistered breeder is a red flag.
