Redmond
Born ~May 2016, Male, Red Tabby Maine Coon Mix
What a magnificent boy this cat will be when he grows up. He has that look already. Majestic. You can see it best in the photo of him with his sister, Rachael. Look at the length of the hair in his ears, the saturated color of the red of his fur, his markings, how long his body already is. He is already a big boy and looks like he will be a big cat.
Everyone knows I love the red kitties. I always take them when I can get them. This kitten was on the euthanasia list at the shelter due to his having a very mild case cat lice. Shelters do not have the time to deal with medical troubles like this. (Just so you know cat lice cannot spread to humans who can only get human lice, or dogs who only get dog lice. Cat lice can only live on cats.) They are easy to kill. I now know quite a lot about them. We overdid it in treating these kitties since we were extra careful (a little paranoid) but we can now say with assurance Redmond and his sister are totally free of lice. So, no worries.
Redmond has had a boring time in his young life – 6 weeks in isolation. He is, thus, a little quiet. Not full of it as he will be soon. He has had a tough beginning as is true of most of the kittens I take in. I take the ones who the shelter won’t “keep” for some reason or other. They end up fine after a little TLC from us. Redmond was in an isolation room with his sister Rachael, who is a calico Maine Coon mix. They are very closely bonded from their time together and need to go home as a pair. They make a beautiful Halloween colored pair.
Like most red tabbies, Redmond is a big sweetheart. These boys start out sweet and just get more mellow and loving as they mature. Maine Coons tend to be eccentric characters so he will likely be a comedian also. Some family will be so lucky to have this pair.
Redmond eats wet and dry food and is litterbox perfect.
His foster mom is Harriet in Santa Cruz.
Contact Harriet at (831) 336-2983 or toharrietjane@comcast.net if you have questions, or send an Adoption Application. If you are unable to reach Harriet by phone or email, email us at Info@purebredsplus.org.
NOTE: We prefer families with children bring them to the adoption appointment. Why? This allows interaction between the children and the cat. This helps ensure they will be a good fit for each other. A mismatch between a child and a cat is not in anyone’s best interest!
