Maine Coon kittens & cats in Jefferson City, Tennessee

Hank and his sister Lucy were adopted from us as small kittens, but recently their adopter had a change of circumstance and returned them to us. Both are clearly confused and dont understand why theyre not home. Theyre timid around new people, and new situations make them very nervous. Once theyve had time to settle in and decompress, Hank is the more social of the two. He loves a good head scratch! Lucy will take longer to trust, but it will be worth it when you see her explore her surroundings. Both will receive a haircut before being adopted; their coats have some unfortunate mats right now. They need to be adopted together into a home with no other animals or kids.

We were contacted about a cat in distress and found Buckaroo in terrible shape. The odds were definitely against him. He was bleeding from hole in his scrotum, possibly caused by a botfly. He was severely underweight (5.8 lbs), dehydrated, matted, covered in fleas, flystrike, full of round worms and suffering from an upper respiratory infection.We bathed him, cut out his mats, and our good friends at Riverside saved his life. He has doubled his weight and his medium long coat is growing back He is a beautiful boy who purrs for pets. He is still on the shy side, but will push his head into your hands for love.Buckaroo is FIV+ but fine to live with other cats who are not.

Sad Face, or Buddy, is a feral cat that I have been caring for over the past two years. In the past three months, he has grown to trust me enough to finally let me pet him. While he is still jumpy and hesitant at times, he is very affectionate and loves having people sit on the front deck with him. Since I am just now getting to know him, I don't know yet how he is around other animals, kids, etc. He hasn't acted aggressively toward me or my spouse, but is still trying to figure out how to interact with people. He loves treats, especially tuna or canned cat food. I haven't tried taking him to the vet yet and don't know yet how he will do with a litter box. He does try and sneak inside the house when the front door opens, but I haven't let him inside due to having senior cats inside already. He's a sweetheart but does have a rougher appearance from living outside and likely having been in normal male cat fights with another feral that lives nearby. He loves his heated cat house.

Slushy showed up at our house roughly two years ago in very poor nutritional health. Since then, he has remained at our house as an outside cat with constant food/water supply. He has moved into our garage over the last year with his own litter box and heated bed. He is an extremely friendly guy and wants inside the house with people; however, we have two senior cats inside now that are not willing to accept another cat (we have tried multiple times). He does well around kids, but hasn't been around super young kids who don't know how to treat cats yet. He LOVES snuggles and sleeping on laps. I personally love this guy and wish I could bring him in. I want to keep him, but it's not fair to him to live a life of mostly solitude when he can hear us on the other side of the garage door. I have taken him to the vet in the past when we were attempting to bring him in. We found out he was previously neutered and was about 2 yrs old at the time. He is likely between 3-4 years old now.

**Image with profile is a screenshot from a video. I don't have a picture of Mittens as she often doesn't stand still long enough to take one. I can send the video if interested or try and take a better photo! Mittens appears to be a younger cat that showed up at my house after I started feeding other strays/ferals. She has never acted aggressively and often comes running to the house when she sees a car pulling in. She is very food/treat motivated and LOVES people. She is shy at first, but offer her a treat and guess what... new bestie. I have indoor senior cats, so I have not tried bringing her inside. She does try her best to come in when I go outside to feed her and give her pets. Mittens deserves a home with lots of toys, treats, windows, and someone who can give her all the pets and attention she is wanting. I have not taken Mittens to the vet, nor do I know if she is litter box trained. Since she appears young, I doubt it would take long for her to pick up on using a litter box
