Retiring Jägermeister: Why our Blue Smoke Poly Maine Coon Needs a Special New Home

It’s a sad day here at Mitcha Coontails, but it’s time I have a Happy Hour (looking for a new home) for Jägermeister who is only 6 months old. I’ve been sitting on this for months so I could work on him some more and because this was a very hard for me to accept.

YOU MUST WATCH the reel I will post after I post this on any of our social media platforms BEFORE sending us a message.

Y'all know first there was Anheuser, who was supposed to be our next top shelf male… he passed his hips and heart, and even though I did all of that, he had seizures while in quarantine, so I had to retire him, and then I felt super hopeful for this male, but if you saw my reel, which I encourage you to watch on any of our social media platforms before continuing this, we must retire him.

Breeding really is a constant moral/ethical battle of “do I do the right thing” or “do I try to let this small or big thing slide in hopes that it will correct itself down the line.” When it comes to my males that I will use for every pairing, I try to just keep the best.. period.

As I said in the reel, he will be free, but he will need an alpha home. …and what I mean by that is definitely no young kids, probably no pets as well, …even though he seems to really love Negra Modelo, but I just can't know for sure whether he'd get along with every pet. I'm actually going to test that out some more this next week because before I just didn't want to chance it and cause a bigger problem. So, we'll see on that. You can still put in your request, but he needs someone who has experience with animals, who isn't afraid by a small bite, and I mean something equivalent to roughhousing with a big kitten. No one in our house of four kids has experienced anything more than that. …but you need to be able to hang on to him if he does bite and say NO and not flinch and let go of him when this happens …so you can correct him and let him know “that won’t fly here.” All my kids are able to do this, so I’m definitely not saying something that’s difficult “if you have experience” with difficult animals. Really, he has no issues if you respect that when he doesn’t want to be pet, he doesn’t want to be pet. He is huge on playing. He will play all day with you and his only problem is he also likes to chew iPhone cords. We don’t have any out because of him and have our cords hidden or there’s a simple wrap (that takes 30 seconds to put on any cord) that you buy on Amazon that goes over the cord that makes it impossible to bite through that you may have to put on a wire or two. We just have one on our water fountain and the rest of our cords are too thick. He also loves sitting on our pet console seat and going for car rides. He looks at every car and seems very content. Great training time as I pet him a lot while in the car.

He really is going to make a great pet for somebody, and he will be your absolute dream male when it comes to that feral, wild look everyone hopes for... He’s a special boy for many reasons.

If you’re still feeling called to bring him into your life, here’s what we’ll need with your email:

 • A photo of yourself and those in your home.

 • A snapshot of your home and where he’ll likely lounge — maybe the living room sofa or the big cat tree with the window view.

 • Your full address and location.

 • A list of the other pets currently on your guest list at home

 • Then most importantly your acknowledgment of his problem, why you think you can handle it, and how you plan on tackling it.
