Roadie is a Maine Coon, approximately 3–4 years old. She came to us from a neighboring shelter after being found taped inside a cardboard box and was in extremely poor condition. She has now been with us for over a year. During that time, we have invested significant resources into medical testing beyond her standard vetting to determine the cause of her severe digestive issues. She experienced persistent leaking diarrhea despite numerous fecal tests, treatments, and attempts at resolution.
After trying several prescription and specialty diets, we have finally found a food that successfully keeps her symptoms under control. As long as she eats only this specific food, she does well. However, even one meal of anything different causes the diarrhea to return, and we must start the process over again. In addition, Roadie requires regular professional grooming.
Because of these needs, it is essential that Roadie be placed in a home that will strictly follow her prescribed diet, provide veterinary care as needed, and keep up with her grooming. We want to ensure she never has to be returned to the rescue.
Since she is a Maine Coon and we want to ensure she is being adopted into a home that will follow what she needs, we have her adoption fee set at $1000. She would be best in a home with no other animals or even small children who may leave food unattended, just because of the issues that eating anything besides her food will cause diarrhea. Obviously she must be an indoor only cat.
We understand this is a lot to ask of an adopter, but we know the right family is out there for her. If you feel you are able to meet these requirements, we would be happy to review an adoption application and then set up a time for you to meet her. We have received many inquiries since her photo was posted, but our priority is finding the best possible home for Roadie.

Additional adoption info
Our kitties are ALWAYS spayed/neutered and vaccinated before we put them up for adoption.
The adoptee will need to fill out an application and be approved, then they will be contacted regarding setting up an appointment to meet our available cats and kittens. If we feel it necessary, we may request a home visit. We want to make sure the adoption is a good fit for both owner and pet.

More about this rescue
Floyd County has the 3rd largest intake of cats in the state, including all Atlanta-area shelters. Floyd Felines was created to stop the weekly euthanasia. We pull sick cats and young kittens out of Floyd County Animal Control, now known as Public Animal Welfare Services, and take them to our private shelter where they are able to get necessary attention. We also pull hundreds of healthy, adoptable cats and kittens to be transported to Northern rescue partners to have higher chances of adoption. This work opens kennels at animal control so that it is no longer required to euthanize for space.
We also have a working cat program, where we match up “feral” cats to approved, outdoor homes where they can control the mice and snake population. These cats are usually some of the first to be euthanized at shelters, so we are thrilled that we are able to provide hope for their futures.
