Maine Coon kittens & cats in Laurel, Maryland

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##

Eight Ball belonged to my daughter who has recently passed. According to the vet he is 1-1/2 to 2 years old. He is a house cat who is friendly and loves attention.

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.

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.

Plea for help from Jonathan: “My friend and I took in several feral cats a while ago. Most are now socialized and many are bonded pairs/families. Since we are both experiencing severe health problems currently and a move from the area has become necessary, we can no longer care for the cats. We are looking for good homes for them.   We are located in Clinton, MD (southern PG County). The best method of reaching us is: zcathouse.md@gmail.com”   Mushmellow [a.k.a. 'Mush'] (NM, Brown Tabby?, DLH?/Maine Coon?, ~7+ years?) & Scout (NM, Black, DSH, ~6+ years?) Mush[mellow] never liked hanging out at the salad bowl, but his food bowl is his claim to fame and weight gain. Scout waits patiently for his turn. And even though Mush also hogs their bed, Scout still loves him and they always work it out. They are best buds for life! Two gentle giants who were found at our local Rite Aid, and are, thus, referred to as the "Rite Brothers". That said, we don't know whether they are siblings, or even related at all, though it is clear they are strongly bonded and have great affection for one another. Mushmellow was initially quite larger than Scout, so we believe there may be some age difference. Whatever the case, they are both big dudes who will need lots of exercise - along with a relatively strict diet. Mushmellow has a tendency to give some pretty strong 'love bites', but he means well. Scout, on the other hand, likes to make sure he knows where his 'brother' is most of the time.   Disclaimer: AAHA provides complimentary listings for members of the community who wish to rehome their pet, as well as for other shelters/ rescues to assist them in finding Furever homes.

So before Leo got brought into this world, We (my family) had two cats named Luna and star. They had babies and that’s how Leo came about. She’s now seven years old. She was a family cat and has been trained and raised with us since she was a baby .When I moved out of my mom‘s house, I took Leo with me and she’s been staying with me ever since. Leo is a very, very loving cat. She loves being pet. There was times where we used to let her roam outside and she would just love to get pet by anybody who walked past ANYBODY. She loves cuddles. her whole life she’s lived with other pets. She does require frequent brushing also. Now that I am moving and I’m not able to bring her with me this time,I am looking for a home for her and looking for people who will love her just as much, but if not more than I do. she does require frequent brushing and wiping.
