Maine Coon Rescue - Bayonne, NJ

Adoption Information. Please read thoroughly. Welcome to Maine Coon Rescue! We are thrilled to have you consider our rescue in the search for your new family member! Information About Our Rescue Maine Coon Rescue does not have a facility or adoption center. Our cats are cared for in foster homes throughout the United States. We do not adopt outside of the lower 48 states. Adopters may meet a cat after submitting an approved Adoption Application. You are responsible for traveling to the cat at an approved foster location. We typically do not bring cats to a potential adopter’s home for meet-and-greets. Not every cat is eligible for transport outside the area where they are being fostered. A home visit or virtual video visit may be required. We are an all-volunteer organization and strive to respond to all emails and inquiries as quickly as possible. We are always happy to answer any questions you may have. Our Adoption Process Step 1: View our available cats and decide what you are looking for in a new family member.
