Rajah

by Jennifer
(Prosper, TX)

Rajah has been a beloved member of our family since we got her as a kitten.

We were told she is a Maine Coon, but we have no papers to verify that; she seems to have all the physical characteristics though. She is 2.5 years old.

A recent incident has forced us to find her a new home; we are heartbroken. Two of our kids came in contact with a stray outdoor cat in our front yard and immediately came inside and let Rajah smell their hands.

A switch flipped; she became extremely aggressive with our two boys (not the other four of us in the house) and it is not safe for them. We have tried the rehab methods suggested by our vet along with reintroducing her to the boys multiple times, and each time, she has reverted to fear and aggression with them after a few minutes.

We don't want a shelter to put her down, as she has been such a great pet, and so this is our attempt to find her a good home. She has bitten before in play, but I don't think ever with intent to hurt.

Rajah is so fun to watch; she chirps anytime anyone sneezes/coughs/gasps; she 'hunts' birds at the window; she greets us at the door when we get home and comes to say good morning.

She is playful, loves her cat tower and collecting piles of bugs that she finds.

She is a beautiful, impossibly soft creature, and we want her to find a home where she will be loved and well cared for.

She was due for a vet check up - had planned to take her in January, so she may need some updated vaccinations.

She co-exists well with our mini-aussie; if our dog annoys her, she lets her know, but they've never fought. She is indoor only.

The last thing I would say, is I have no idea how she will handle a transition to a knew home and people.

Someone with patience and experience with cats is essential; even though her aggression has been targeted to my two boys, we've been extra careful with her as she still seems on edge, as though she is looking for the cat she smelled on my boys.

Draco

by Anu
(McKinney, TX)

Draco is a one-year-old polydactyl Maine Coon. I have only had him for a little over a month and he needs a home where he is the only cat.

He is very affectionate towards people but I do not think he will be good with small children.

He is purebred, an Eastern European import. I do have papers to show. Beautiful cat but unfortunately I was not told that he does not get along with other cats so I cannot keep him.

He is a beautiful black-silver classic tabby.
Located in Mckinney, TX

(note from editor: phone numbers have been removed, as Anu was contacted directly and Draco has been placed in his new fur-ever home! Thank you everyone. I hope his new family sends us photos and an update!)

Max (Maximilian)

by Gabriela Falconer
(The Colony, TX, Denton County)

Jan 8, 2017:
Max is a black, tan, and gray tabby Maine Coon adult. We are not sure exactly how old, but around 6-8 years old. He is de-clawed and was a rescue from a kill shelter by our dear friend Carrie. He was already de-clawed when he came to her.

We would love to keep him but we are a full house and he his not getting the attention he needs. We already have 2 dogs and 3 cats and brought him to our family at the end of June 2016. His is a sad story. His human mama, Carrie, was in a severe accident while riding her horse one weekend in late June 2016 that left her in a vegetative state.

When we learned she was in the accident and her state, we fostered him. She adored Max and we wanted to make it work since she is dear to our family and we are animal lovers.

Over the last few months there's been a lot of obstacles with our other cats picking on him, specifically, whenever he uses the litter box. He's been so scared to go that he will go to the restroom around the house not anywhere near the litter box.

The only way we've been able to give him a safe space to use the litter box is by putting it in our guest bathroom for about a half hour to do his business. In there he goes no problem, every time.

He is the sweetest and most loving cat we've ever had, and so intelligent (found a way into the sealed dog food container). Loves getting groomed with a metal bristle brush. He gets separation anxiety, needs a lot of attention and love.

It's hard to part with him and we want to be sure that he goes to a good home with someone who will love him as much as we do and Carrie does. He's great with other animals but hard due to him being de-clawed, loves people and kids.

Please only seriously interested parties, text message or email.

Looking to adopt a Maine coon.
by: Jan K.
I'm interested in all Maine Coons. I can only have one where I live. I'm retired and love cats. I've had them all my life, but now I'd like to have Coon. I live alone. No children or pets. These pets are beautiful cats. Let me know how to proceed from here. Would like to adopt before the cold sets in.

Still Available?
by: Anonymous
I recently lost my adult Maine Coon, Blue. I miss him so much! I am an older, retired lady and I need a lap companion. Max looks so much like my "Blue." I would be very interested in adopting him if he is still available.I would give him a very loving home with lots of attention.

Sha Sha

by Charlotte
(Beaumont, Tx)

posted on July 22, 2018:

I am a fellow rescuer in Beaumont Texas and there is always a story.

My brother in law has an acquaintance who rescued this cat about 3 yrs ago. She has been altered and is very loving toward him, but has gotten progressively aggressive with the other resident cats to the point that he feels it is best to find her another home where she can be the only cat.

He was in the process of taking her to the local animal shelter where her time there would be short, due to limited space, it is not a NO KILL!! So there is a high probability she would be euthanized within a few days.

So being a rescuer of course they contacted me. I feel it best to get her into a rescue or an only cat home. He said she loves to get in his lap..so she loves her person.In order to adopt her... a vet check and home visit will be required, as well as references. Adoption Fee: $100.00

Is Sha Sha a good lap cat and friendly with children (8 and 13 yo)?

Apr 12, 2021
Interested in Sha Sha
by: Linda
If you think Sha Sha fits the requirements for a handicapped lady.....heres the story...

I would be interested in adopting a Maine coon/mix. Let me rephrase that.... I have a disabled friend that I am helping to find a cat for her to adopt. (I would pay the fees)

This lady is 33 years old and was involved in a terrible accident that left her permanently disabled. (2012) They told her she would never walk or talk again due to traumatic brain injury. She not only walks and talks but holds down a job now ;-) She has progressed with leaps and bounds and only God knows her struggles.

This cat would be an emotional support cat eventually. My friend is able to live on her own here in our apartment complex near Texas Motor Speedway. She has no family here in Texas and is quite alone.

She desperately needs a companion. She loves animals and fell in love with my two dogs. Originally she thought she would like to have a dog but after talking about it with her I think a cat, specifically a Maine coon would be ideal.

I have owned a Maine coon mix that adopted me after hurricane Katrina in 2005 when I worked in New Orleans for Fema. The personality of the Coonie is why I feel it would be ideal for Shawna. She has had some very dark times and I really believe she needs someone to love, care for and comfort her when she is "down".

I so admire this young woman as she has come so far since her accident. For the last 3 years she had a job about a mile from the apartment. She walked to and from work every day!!! But now she started a new journey with a new job right next door to our apartment complex .

Specifically I/we would like a female kitten or young cat that could grow with her.

Thanks and God Bless!!

Jax

by Lisa
(Denton, TX)

July 8, 2015:Jax is a beautiful, adult, Maine Coon, tabby mix. He's an indoor cat, weights 14 lbs and is 9 years old.

I rescued him 8 years ago from the Humane Society. He takes a bit to warm up to strangers, but is very loving to his family and is very talkative and playful.

It is with a heavy heart we post this, but feel he'd be happier in an adult only home (we now have a young child). He's had all of his shots, is neutered and litter box trained.

Pretty

by Jennifer Reynolds
(Denton, TX, USA)

Feb 13, 2018:
Pretty is a TNR (trap, neuter, release) that I took care of for 2 years in my backyard. She has been in my house for 3 more years.

She is semi-feral still, but one of the sweetest cats I have ever known. Once she gets used to you, she will head-butt you, gaze lovingly at you, sit in your lap, and sleep with you.

I was recently away for 9 months and since I have been back home with her, I realize how allergic I am to her.

She is great with other cats. She will bath and care for other cats, in fact. I don't know about dogs or children.

I don't know if she is male or female, I have just always called her "Pretty" and female because she is so pretty.

Sweet Kitty

by Debbie Longanecker
(Dallas, TX, USA)

Dec 13, 2016:
Kitty was dropped off in the neighborhood, left in a cat carrier in a neighbors front yard a few weeks ago.

Kitty hasn't warmed up to caretakers trying to check out it's gender but does purr when he/she can be near you. We don't know if abandonment has caused this skittish behavior or if Kitty is naturally shy.

Kitty is beautiful cat, seems healthy, and has a beautiful coat.

Hopefully someone will recognize him/her or want to invite Kitty into their home.

Bubba

by Amy Ringo
(Carollton, TX)

posted on Aug 22, 2012:Bubba is a seven year old Maine Coon. He is very friendly, but shy. He takes a little while to become comfortable with you.

He was a rescue cat I got when he was just a kitten. He loves to talk and will answer when you talk to him. Bubba is a cuddler and will sit in your lap all day if you let him. He doesn't mind other cats, but he does not like dogs. He would prefer to be in a home without children.

He is gray and white and he weighs about 17 pounds. Bubba loves to look out the window and roll around. Bubba was declawed so he is strictly an indoor cat.

What a handsome boy!
by: Donna J
I have had several cats over my lifetime. I am 67 soon to be 68 and retired. All my cats have been strictly inside only and have lived to at least 18 years age. I had one, Annie, that I found in the hallway of my apt building in Florida.

I knocked on doors but no one claimed her so I gave little orphan Annie a home. She moved from Florida to Oklahoma with me, would play tag with me, fetch a small rubber ball like a dog, would stand and dance when she wanted a treat, craved cantaloupe and was an extreme snuggler. She lived to be 22 years old.

I have two cats presently, Nola(age 16) and Mandy(age 13)-found her in a wood pile in May 2004, about 3 weeks old I bottle fed her every four hours: I had my daughter's pit-greyhound (Saddle) at the time and Sadie claimed Mandy as here special project-taught her to drink from a bowl and eat from a dish and let Mandy sleep on her back or wrapped in her paws.

Both cats were rescues and even though they are playful and well I know their time will come to cross the rainbow bridge (note: Sadie passed away last year at the age of 17). I currently do have a dog a little Jack Russell(Penny age 17) that had been my Mother's dog and has always been very mellow but is now deaf and blind from old age and I will be losing her very soon as her quality of life is deteriorating.

Penny came into a household as a puppy so was raised with cats and is submissive to cats but now days just says drinks and sleeps.

I do not plan on another dog, Sadie and Penny were special family situations. I have always wanted a Maine Coon and Bubba would be a great addition to a home with a lot of love and attention to give and where the animal residents live long and prosper.

I live in Norman, Oklahoma so I am not too far from you. Please tell me Bubba is still available. I have cared for cats all my life. I can give Bubba a good loving home. I will contact you via email so you can contact me.

Want to adopt or rescue a Maine Coon
by: Brenda Walker
This breed is so beautiful! I am real interested in adopting a Maine Coon or rescue work. I had a Russian Blue and had to have him put down.

He was 23lb., and had a personality like no other! He would open the sliding screen and bring in baby bunnies in the spring. He would not hurt them and it drove the dog nuts! I want a Maine Coon really bad, nothing like your bst friend meeting you at the door!

Loki

by Jessica Monroe
(South of Houston, Tx USA)

Aug 13, 2016:
Loki is a year and a half old and weighs 13 pounds. He is either a full or a strong mix Maine Coon, which I had no idea of at the time I adopted him.

I adopted him from a shelter almost a year ago. It had been two years since I had had a cat, my last one almost killed me when she had to be put down due to kidney failure. She was a rescue cat who turned out to be a snowshoe.

Loki won me over with his adorable face on the shelter's website. I adopted him the day he became available. He was micro chipped but not yet neutered.

I took care of the neutering with my vet of many years and also all of his vaccines except for the feline leukemia as he was/is an indoor cat only, but I did get him tested for it and feline aids, both negative.

He took right to me and settled in with his litter box and food and my husband and I very well. Then, my youngest daughter fell on hard times. She HAD to move back home, and with her came four MORE cats, which I insisted she have tested for leukemia and aids, all negative.

This instantly caused issues for Loki. He had no idea how to behave with cats. I'm almost certain he isn't aware he IS a cat too. My father's dog had been living here and they played together fine.

Since the new cat-gang have taken over the house, he poops on the floor and in the bathtub. He has recently started peeing in undesirable locations. I have kept him separate from the other cats trying to fix the issue, I put them back together and added more litter boxes as well. NOTHING is working.

I highly resent my daughter for causing this mess, and if it weren't for the fact that my four year old grandson came as part of the package, I might not have agreed to letting her bring the cats. He was attached to them and I didn't want to hurt him by taking them from him.

I had a cat many years ago who developed crystals in his bladder and had a few accidents on some furniture. The smell NEVER came out. We have already had to replace some carpeting. Since he didn't do any of this prior to the arrival of the other cats, I do believe he would do very well in a home with no other cats, but dogs would be fine.

I am very sad about this whole thing. He is a very loving cat and beautiful to boot. I have considered making him an outdoor cat, but it's very hot here near Houston and we have a very high population of bobcats in my sub-division as well as coyotes. Outdoor cats don't last long here.

That also leaves out creating an enclosed area for him not to mention how lonely he would be. If anyone who has a dog or two and is looking to adopt a cat that likes dogs but has no other cats, this may be the guy for you.

I will not let him go where he will just be dumped off somewhere due the above issues being repeated.

I am still wondering if I can let him go at all...but if he can find a happier home, I might be okay with it.

by: Jessica
What state do you live in? We built Loki a catio outside. He still doesn't use the litter box, preferring the concrete for his own reasons. I know he's lonely.

I bring him in when the weather is too had for him to stay out but have to let him out every few hours to go potty. This only works in short doses as I have to keep him in my bedroom with the door closed so he won't wander off to go potty in the house. Where would you keep him like he is? It's such a sad state of affairs.

I had a Maine Coon mix male for 17 years and he was the best cat ever. He did not like other cats either but as he got older he finally accepted a little female which I had for 12 years.

He got along fine with any and all dogs. We currently only have dogs and no cats. I think the dogs would do good with a cat but I need a cat that likes dogs.

We have two feral kittens. They are females about 12 weeks old.
Both have been spayed, received all their shots and are micro chipped via Hill Country Animal League in Boerne.

We cannot keep them and would like them placed for adoption at a no kill shelter.

Cloud (the cream colored one) should be easily domesticated. Her sister Storm will take a bit more patience.

Please contact us.
Thank You,
