Maine Coon kittens & cats in Pinole, California

Merlin and his mother Princess Mithian came to us after losing their housing. We are still getting to know them but so far we do not think they are bonded and could be adopted individually. Merlin is still on the shy side but check back for updates as we get to know his personality!

Foster notes: "He is really sweet, a bit of a goofball, and loves to cuddle in your lap, in bed, next to you, or in front of a window where he can also sleep and watch the world go by. He will sometimes come when you call him (like a dog), and loves treats of any kind, especially Greenies and Bursts. He was scared indoors initially, especially as our floors are creaky, but within a few days began to settle in like he owned the place. Occasionally he prefers to be by himself, and lay in front of a window or his bed, where he usually sleeps overnight. Sometimes he will sleep in bed with us. He originally did not really like toys, but we’ve been slowly acclimating him to play, including putting Greenies in a cat puzzle for enrichment. He didn’t do anything with the puzzle on day one, but the next day he began using it to get treats. He also loves “mister pickle”, a catnip toy which is very effective at making him super playful, and then extra chill. He also likes the simple play pleasures, like playing with a piece of string we dangle from above."

Meet Omar, a gorgeous 1-1/2 year old long-haired smoke Maine Coon-Siamese mix. Despite being left behind in miserable conditions when his family moved, he’s blossomed into a very affectionate, gentle and loving cat who loves to be pet and is easy to pick up. Omar also has a playful, silly side that’s a joy to watch—whether he’s chasing toy mice or having a blast with his foster friends, Denzel and Fern. He would be equally happy as the only cat, or with another friendly, young cat. With his social nature and loving personality, Omar is sure to be a loyal and delightful companion!

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.  She loves to be brushed and sleeps on my bed at night. 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 and need to be adopted together.   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.February 8, 2025, 2:15 pm
