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. The adoption application will ask which cat you are interested in applying for. We do not keep a waiting list for cats.
Step 2: Complete the online adoption application fully and accurately. All questions are essential to our screening process. Incomplete or missing information may delay processing or result in denial.
