Maine Coon kittens & cats in Berkeley, California

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CA:  Chinchilla (Chin Chin) and Shadow are a sweet bonded pair of lovely kitties that were rescued together from a large cat colony. They appear to be Maine Coon-mix cats.  Shadow is probably Chin Chin's mother.  They both have amazingly loud purrs!   Chin Chin and Shadow’s rescuer, Sara, provided us with this description of the girls: “Chin Chin is gray and white and was born in approximately May 2016.  She's a bit flighty and will run away at first, even from me, but comes back as soon as I start petting or brushing another cat.  She returns even faster when I'm dispensing treats.  She is very playful and chases balls and other toys around the room.  She even has a regular morning romp with another cat from the colony. Shadow was born in approximately May 2014.  She's very small for a Maine Coon mix (about 6 pounds) and has gorgeous all-black fur.  She loves to be brushed and petted and often meows loudly.  Her fur is curly, so regular brushing is needed to keep mats from forming.  She's even gotten used to stand-up brushing of her belly and will jump onto the cat condo so I can reach her more easily.  Once there, we sometimes touch noses.  She's the sweetest girl.  She's very docile and calm once she gets familiar with you and the household.  She doesn't even run when I vacuum.  She's also very good about eating oral flea medication with tuna or sardines. Both girls are going to be shy at first with new people but with patience and gentle talking, treats and eventually brushing, they'll come around. Both of them have purrs that practically shake the house.  I can hear Chin Chin purring from another room, and she'll start even before I touch her.  Shadow starts drooling when she's purring.  It's so cute! There's no way of knowing for sure, but I believe they are mother and daughter.  They are definitely a bonded pair.   Both are in good health.  I give Shadow daily hairball gel and Chin Chin a powdered probiotic in her food.  They are good about using the litter box and grooming themselves.  Chin Chin and Shadow have both been spayed and will be up to date on vaccinations prior to adoption.  They are good with other cats.  They might be okay with older, respectful children, or with a very calm and cat-friendly dog." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a Courtesy Post, and Chin Chin & Shadow are living in a private foster home with their rescuer Sara in Hercules, California. If you would like more information, please contact Sara at s_garetz@yahoo.com. Please Note: These cats have not yet been tested for FIV/FeLV, to our knowledge. Potential adopters should confirm the cats’ status with their rescuer and should consult with their veterinarian for recommendations regarding testing.October 26, 2024, 8:18 pm

MODESTO, CA:  Roxy is a petite, super-sweet Maine Coon mix who loves laps and all the human attention and petting she can get! She’s curious, affectionate, snuggly, and will follow you all around the house. While she is okay with other cats and with cat-friendly dogs, she would be happiest as an “only” pet in a quiet home. Roxy’s rescue group hasn’t had her long enough to determine her level of playfulness, but they believe she will be playful once she becomes comfortable in her new home. Roxy was rescued by the Cat Network of Stanislaus (CNOS) in May 2024. The people who had been feeding Roxy told CNOS she had had diarrhea for months. Roxy has been treated for intestinal parasites and is eating a specialty food. Roxy has been improving, and she is now ready for her forever home! Roxy was born in approximately July 2021.  She has been spayed and is up to date on her shots. This is a Courtesy Post, and Roxy is with the Cat Network of Stanislaus in Modesto, California. For more information, please contact Monica at info@catnetworkofstanislaus.org or 209-735-0604.

I'd love to tell you about my beautiful boy Archie. I was lucky enough to adopt him from Cat Town in Oakland back in 2022 when he was just 2 years old. Now at 4, he's grown into such a special companion. Unfortunately, I'm moving in with my partner who has severe cat allergies - we're talking hives - and we're starting a family, so I'm faced with the heartbreaking decision to find Archie a new loving home. Archie is truly a good boy with the sweetest soul. While he might be a bit shy when you first meet him, once he warms up (which doesn't take too long!), his loving personality really shines through. He has this adorably mischievous side that just makes you smile. More than anything, Archie loves giving and receiving affection - he's just a big sweetheart at heart. I can really see Archie thriving in a home where he has the freedom to embrace his adventurous spirit - somewhere he can wander outside, explore, and truly be himself. He has so much love to give!

Mario is a gentle loving kitty. He was dumped on the side of the road. We are trying to help Mario find his forever home. For more information on Mario please call 510-900-2275.

Luigi is a beautiful approximately 4 year old Maine Coon. He was bought from a breeder and is pure bred. He is up to date on vaccines and microchipped. My mom’s health has declined and she cannot take care of him any longer. We would like to find a loving home for him. He is a large cat and needs space. He has always been an indoor cat. He did recently scratch her when she picked him up. This has not happened before. He has been a great companion for her, but needs a loving home!

Fish Fish is a medium-haired gray tabby with white paws and chin, and we got her as a six-week-old rescue in May 2020. She's always been extremely curious and playful, loving to chase things around and play fetch and climb furniture, but like many playful cats she can play a little rough sometimes, and she startles easily. The ideal home for her is one without other animals because she's a bit territorial, and also without very young kids (older kids will love playing with her). She loves ear scratches, will sit in a lap and cuddle up next to you, but doesn’t like to be petted for too long. She has a ton of personality and is very cute and soft. Once she gets to know you she will sleep on your ankles or in the nook of your arm, ride around on your shoulders if you want, and do something every day that makes you laugh. In the right home she will be someone's soulmate.
