Maine Coon Rescues

 

 

Are you considering adopting a Maine Coon?

 

Often the cats that need a new home find themselves in this situation through no fault of their own. The reasons for re-homing are numerous and can vary from an allergy to cats within the household, emigrating to another country or breakdown of a marriage or partnership.  Most of the cats looking for new homes have no known medical or behaviour problems, although occasionally they do 

and you need to have a long chat with the current owner to gain a full understanding of any issues with the cats.

 

Many of the cats tend to be older – it is very rare to have a kitten that requires a new home.  Some cats need to go to homes where there are no other animals or children.  Others have no problem with this - it all depends on the individual cat.  The website has all the current cats available and it will be updated weekly. You CANNOT sell your cat on this site, all cats go FREE of charge, although obviously we do accept donations as we often have to pay for veterinary bills on cats being rehomed.

Chewy (Chester)

Chewy is a big, hunky tabby and white twelve year old neutered male. He is named Chewy we presume because of his resemblance to Chewbacca, not due to any chewing - he has recently had a dental operation to remove a host of rotten teeth so he isn't really able to chew anything at all anymore, but he is a lot more comfortable as a result.

Chewy is fantastic with children and has shown himself to be gentle and affectionate with little ones of all ages, following them around and interacting with their toys. Other cats, however, are a different story.

Chewy came to the rescue as he does not get on at all with other cats - they scare him so he goes on the offensive, swiping, stalking and guarding food/trays. Because of this behaviour, he is regularly attacked by other cats, thus reinforcing the fear. He needs a new home with no other pets at all and ideally none around outside - somewhere out on the country would be ideal.

Chewy is very used to getting his own way and has some undesirable behaviours which it may take some time to curb- the main ones are spraying when he is in new environments or stressed out, wanting to be up playing at night time, vocalising inappropriately (eg at 3am) and scratching carpets as a means to get attention. Please understand that these are considerable problems - he can and will stay up ALL night and will ensure that you do as well- an experienced home needed! Despite these behaviours, he really is a fantastic cat. He would be best suited to a home with a cat flap so that he can come and go as he pleases; thus preventing him from having to "ask" to be let in and out all night long.

To ensure that Chewy finds a good home, home checks will apply and a donation to the charity will be required.

Thank you so much

GANDALF (Doncaster)

Gandalf is a Male silver grey maine coon age 17 years old looking for a quiet home with no pets or children, he has no road sense been a house cat since he was born. Looking for a home not two many miles away from where i live now which is doncaster as he does not like travelling in the car, not had  to many visits to vets been quite healthy. He has some kidney stones which he has had for a few years does not cause him any problems, he's been on special urinary complete food which i buy of the internet as it is cheaper.
He likes a lot of attention so someone who does not work would be more suitable, he needs to be groomed twice weekly now instead of every day as his hair does not grow as long now, but still does not like it. Can be quite vocal first thing in the mornings until you get up and feed him and give him some attention, due to his age he has some arthritis in his back legs but you would not think so when he runs up and down the stairs, slightly deaf and i think he is starting to lose his sight. I am moving aboard soon and would like to find him a nice home to enjoy what years he has left.
If you can offer him a new home contact Janet Gordon at janet-gordon@hotmail.com

 

 

 

PLEASE NOTE:

The club does not get involved in rehoming ex-breeding cats. If you are a breeder and are looking to rehome your ex-breeding queen or stud cat, then we ask that you make your own arrangements to do this. Thank you.
