Maine Coon kittens & cats in Bowie, Maryland

The name is Nelson! Sweet loving and loves to cuddle. Unfortunately I can’t come overseas because most housing don’t allow pets. I’m excellent with people of any and all ages and all other animals as I am truly cats gentle giant. I come with everything including papers verifying I am purebred as well as my cat tower scratching post, bowls and food. I need a permanent and loving home with someone who doesn’t mind me being cuddly.

Charlie is a purebred Maine coon. He's just shy of a year old. lovely, kind, just the right amount of cuddles to alone time ratio. He runs on the small side of the breed, and enjoys walks in the park, window watching, and dinner time. We're moving overseas in a few months and can't take him with us. We figured the sooner while he's still kind of young, the better so he can adjust easier. He really is a great cat!

Missy (f) is a beautiful Maine Coon mix who found herself living alone and in need of a new person to love when her senior, human dad passed away. She will take a minute to warm up to you but will quickly become your best friend. Missy is 5 years old and the perfect age if you are looking for a kitty who is playful but not high energy. She is talkative but not excessively. Missy also has perfect potty manners. Our gorgeous fluffy lady has lots of love to give to the lucky person or family who adopters her. We think Missy would do best in a quiet home as an only fur companion. ##2357057##

Meet Ambrosia! Ambrosia is a graceful, striking mama cat who arrived at her foster home in April 2025—pregnant and calm as can be. She raised her five kittens with quiet confidence and devotion, proving herself to be a truly wonderful mother. Three of her kittens have already found their forever homes, and two (DW and Arthur) are still with her and also available for adoption. Now it’s Ambrosia’s turn. She genuinely enjoys being around people, but she’s not demanding or clingy. Ambrosia likes to keep her humans company by following along from room to room or perching on a nearby cat tree to observe the world. When she’s feeling especially comfortable, she’ll roll over and show her soft belly—a gentle sign of trust. Ambrosia likes petting and brushing, but prefers affection on her own terms. Her foster mom believes there’s a snuggly lap cat waiting to emerge once Ambrosia is in a calm, patient home where she can finally enjoy one-on-one attention instead of a busy foster environment. She does well with mellow, easygoing cats but doesn’t appreciate pushy or territorial companions. Ambrosia would be perfectly happy as an only cat or with another laid-back feline friend. Food is one of her great joys—she’s very food-motivated and always ready for mealtime. Between naps, she enjoys wand toys and laser pointers and can switch from relaxed lounger to playful hunter in seconds. Ambrosia is a thoughtful, gentle soul who will thrive with someone willing to give her time and space to build trust. For the right person or home, she’ll be a deeply rewarding and loving companion. Ambrosia is spayed, microchipped, negative for FELV/FIV and is up to date on all vaccinations.

PLEASE READ: If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, please apply online at www.catdogfriendrescue.com. Please do NOT call or send inquiries via Adopt A Pet or PetFinder as we are a small rescue and cannot handle a large influx of inquiries and phone calls. You can email us at acatsfriendinc@gmail.com if you have questions, but if you would like to be considered for adoption, you must fill out an application. Please note if you are applying for a kitten under six months of age, you must have another friendly kitty in the home or adopt another kitten. Additionally, unless otherwise indicted that this animal is a purebred, all of our animals are rescues and the "breed" selection is a best guess based on their apperance as we have no way of knowing their specific breeds.  Out of state adoptions (outside Virginia/DC/Maryland) do require three years of excellent past or current veterinary references. We look forward to hearing from you! Adoption Fee includes spay/neuter and microchip insertion.  Please note these are not pedigree animals and we have no way of attesting if any of them are hypoallergenic and as such cannot adopt to homes with allergies. ##2630838##

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.
