Birman kittens & cats in Baltimore, Maryland

Linda (in Spanish means beautiful, cute) is likely a Lilac Point Birman (mix?). Her fur is supper soft, she has bright blue eyes, and cute ear tufts. Once she is accustomed to her person, and her surroundings, she is sweet, and playful. She likes to grab things with her paws, (including your hands sometimes!) Unfortunately, she must have had a difficult beginning. She is very nervous, and skittish in new surroundings, and with new people. I assume many people will want her, but only those who are thoughtful regarding her behavior will be considered. No Children, because loud noises, and any commotion will hinder her acclimation. No dogs, the ones I have don’t bother her, and she has become used to them… but she will hide. Other cats are not recommended but maybe one confident cat that she can emulate could be helpful? Possibly? Her personality is hidden inside her, once she overcomes her fear. Believe me it took quite some time. I can pick her up, but not for long. She is not currently a snuggly cat. But with time and loving patience… and lots of treats… miracles happen! She IS NOT an outdoor cat. She is microchipped, spayed, tested, and vaccinated. If interested in adopting Linda, please email me at marysmutts05@gmail.com for an adoption application.

Online  Adoption Application THE FOLLOWING CAT IS BEING CARED FOR IN A LOVING MCR FOSTER HOME. *Clarisse & Kringle are siblings. It would be great if they could be adopted together, but it is not required.* Meet Kringle! He came into the rescue with his sister, Clarisse. They are both "mini Maine Coons Mix Cats".  When they were kittens, Kringle and Clarisse were kept in a crate, all alone in a basement. They were not handled or socialized; when they arrived at the rescue, they might as well have been wild animals. However, volunteers have had tremendous success transforming Kringle from an extremely distrustful, terrified cat into a nice boy who enjoys pets and soaks up attention! Kringle is still "working on himself," so he needs an adopter who has experience owning cats and is willing to proactively socialize him. Kringle loves having his neck and cheeks scratched-- it puts a big grin on his face! He likes napping on the desk, preferably snuggled up to you. He sleeps on the bed with his people and has even started creeping up to enjoy a warm lap! Kringle is submissive around other cats, but has made friends with a few of his housemates. He doesn't assert himself during playtime, but if there is no competition, he plays gleefully with his rainbow ball and chases anything that wiggles. Kringle is not suited to a household with children. Due to his lack of socialization, Kringle gets overstimulated and will nip at hands. Kringle remains cuddly for longer and longer periods of time, so we are hopeful that when he feels secure in a home of his own, he won't be prone to that behavior. Kringle needs an adopter who is patient but also assertive. Kringle and Clarisse cannot be left to hide and decompress like most cats. They will not "come around in their own time." Kringle's owner must be willing to keep him in a room (or a large enclosure) with *no hiding spots* for several weeks. Ideally, his owner will spend long periods of time in the room, quietly in his presence, playing, and petting him. This "exposure therapy" has worked really well for Kringle, especially because he loves being petted so much! Kringle and Clarisse's foster parents are happy to help strategize and guide their new owner/s through the socialization process. During this time-- and always-- the adopter must be committed to using only positive reinforcement. (Remember, yelling or punishment of any kind teaches cats to be afraid of you; they do not connect your actions to something they did.) Help Kringle continue to grow into the loyal, friendly companion he was destined to be, before he became a victim of neglect. Though his past made Kringle a little complicated, with a bit of TLC, you can give him a future full of affection, trust, and love. Click here to learn more about Clarisse. Kringle's adoption fee is $200.00. There is a $25.00 discount for adopting a pair of MCR cats, so the fee for both Kringle and Clarisse would be $375.00.  Your adoption fee includes spay/neuter, FVRCP Vaccine, Rabies Vaccine, Combo Test (Neg/Neg), dewormer, flea prevention, microchip, and wellness visit.  For more information, contact Maine Coon Rescue at: adoption@mainecoonrescue.net.

Online  Adoption Application THE FOLLOWING CAT IS BEING CARED FOR IN A LOVING MCR FOSTER HOME. *Clarisse & Kringle are siblings. It would be great if they could be adopted together, but it is not required.* Clarisse is a gorgeous girl with a big personality! She is a "mini Maine Coon Mix. She has cute little "turtle feet" and a rather unique tail. Clarisse looks like a sophisticated little munchkin, but she is a big-time diva! She loves to play and chase strings, and generally tear around like a wild woman. She enjoys being petted and has super-soft fur. Plus, she has the sweetest, breathy meow that sort of sounds like, "hey."   When she was a kitten, Clarisse and her brother, Kringle, were kept in a crate all alone in a basement. They were not handled or socialized; when they arrived at the rescue, they might as well have been wild animals. However, volunteers have had tremendous success transforming Clarisse into a sociable kitty that naps next to her people, no longer afraid to be a total diva! Clarisse still has some learning to do, so she needs an adopter who has experience owning cats and is willing to socialize her proactively. Clarisse is not suited to a household with children. Due to her lack of socialization, Clarisse can become overstimulated and will nip or swat at people. She is exhibiting this behavior less and less, so we have high hopes that she will not revert to this defensive behavior after she is settled in with a family she trusts. Clarisse needs an adopter who is patient but also assertive. Kringle and Clarisse cannot be left to hide and decompress like most cats. They will not "come around in their own time." Clarisse's owner must be willing to keep her in a room (or a large enclosure) with *no hiding spots* for 2-4 weeks. Ideally, her owner will spend long periods of time in the room, in her presence, petting her, and helping her build trust and confidence through play! This "exposure therapy" has worked well for Clarisse, who is also easily won over with Churu treats.

Clarisse is such a funny little girl who will steal your heart before you know it! Help her continue to grow into the outgoing companion she was destined to be, before she became a victim of neglect. She has come such a long way already, proving how much she deserves a home and family that love her and treat her like the princess she is!  Click here to learn more about Kringle.
