If you are searching for Maine Coon kittens in Missouri, Dashing Coons is based right here in Ballwin — on the western edge of St. Louis County. This is not a long-distance placement. You can drive here, meet the kittens in person, see where they are raised, and take your time before committing to anything. Missouri families are our home community.

We are a small, home-based cattery. Maximum three queens, all raised inside the house with daily handling from birth. No facility, no kennel, no staff. Every kitten is handled by Samuel personally from day one through go-home day.

Communities We Serve

Ballwin

This is home. Our cattery is in Ballwin, and local pickup here is the simplest option for any St. Louis family. You drive to us, meet the kitten in person, and take them home the same day. No shipping, no intermediaries. If you are in Ballwin or the immediate area, you are as close to us as any buyer gets.

Chesterfield

Chesterfield families are our nearest neighbors — ten to fifteen minutes depending on where you are in the valley. We have had several Chesterfield families come through, and the pickup is genuinely easy. If you want to visit before committing, Chesterfield is close enough for a casual look-and-meet without making a day of it.

Kirkwood

Kirkwood is about twenty to twenty-five minutes east on I-44. It is a quick, straightforward drive with no complicated routing. Kirkwood families tend to be well-researched buyers — the community has a strong culture of knowing what they want before they buy. We welcome that. Come see the parents, ask every question, and take your time.

St. Charles

St. Charles is twenty-five to thirty minutes from Ballwin, crossing the Missouri River via I-64 or I-70. We have placed kittens with St. Charles families and the drive is easy in either direction. If you prefer, we can also arrange personal hand-delivery to St. Charles — text us to discuss what works best for your schedule.

St. Louis Metro Maine Coon Owner Resources

Once your kitten is home, you will want a local vet you trust. Here are the categories of support worth knowing about in the St. Louis metro.

Cardiologist / specialist referral

Board-certified echocardiograms with Dr. Cecilia Marshall, DACVIM, at VSS Manchester are part of the health-documentation rebuild. Ask your primary vet for a cardiology referral for your kitten.

How Pickup and Delivery Work

Local pickup in Ballwin is always preferred. You come to us, meet the kitten in person, and take them home. This is the simplest option and the one we recommend for any St. Louis metro family.

Personal hand-delivery within the metro can be arranged for families who cannot make the drive. Samuel delivers personally — your kitten is never shipped, never handed to a stranger, never put in cargo.

Longer distances (outside the St. Louis metro) are handled case by case. Text us to discuss what works for your situation. We do not use flight nannies or cargo shipping.
