Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Arwen, female Mitted Black Smoke and White Maine Coon mix, born approximately 4/7/12
Regular adoption fee: see below
Arwen is a necklace kitty. She is still small enough to curl up along the back of your neck and drape herself over your shoulder, she loves to read along with you or watch TV and make little mewing noises in your ear when the movie gets too scary. She also loves to hang out and play with her sister Eowyn, her ideal home would keep her and her sister together, she is litterbox perfect, spayed, microchipped, current on her vaccines and ready to go to her "furever" home.
NOTE: Arwen is what we call a "Puffer": a cat with the coat quality,
facial structure, and feathering or tufting on the ears that distinguish
a Maine Coon or Norwegian Forest cat. Is Arwen a purebred cat? She might
well be: we do find purebred cats in shelters. She could also be a Maine
Coon mix. Maine Coons are among the most popular breeds of cat, and
unfortunately, some of the same people who don't believe in spaying and
neutering also believe a cat should be allowed to roam outside. As a
result--regrettably--we find homeless Maine Coon kittens and mixes in
shelters quite often.
If you feel you need a guarantee that your kitten is purebred, then you
should contact a respectable breeder and buy a purebred kitten. If what
you want is to know how your cat will look as an adult--for example, if
you want to be sure that he or she will weigh 15 pounds or
more--consider adopting a young adult from the PPCR Maine Coon page.
Then, even if the cat you adopt isn't quite fully grown--cats of large
breeds mature slowly, often not until the age of 3 or 4--you will have a
good basis for predicting its eventual size, and other breed-specific
traits, such as personality, will already be apparent.
Arwen is fostered in Lodi, CA. Contact Jen at jennifer@purebredsplus.org or call 916-217-2151.
