Cats are very place-oriented. Most don't like leaving what they're used to. Boarding can be disastrous for some kitties. Sounds like your big guy is one of those. If he's the shy type (rare for a Maine Coon), just having someone come in once a day for kitty litter change, food and water usually works. If he likes people, then at least two visits a day, with at least one of these being an hour, is best. If you're leaving for an extended stay, having someone spend the night at least every third night is a good idea.
