We were wanting a Maine Coon after we had to put our orange tabby down 2 summers ago. I was causally looking online for one.

Our beautiful little girl, Amazing Grace, Mazy for short , was found along with her siblings, and found by someone on the property doing bulldozer work.
These gorgeous little furballs were placed on Craigslist as free, needing a good home. Since this location was near my daughter's town, I decided to stop and take a look.
There she was, the only calico of the bunch, and with a vet reference, I brought her home a week later. I had no idea what a Maine Coon cat really was, other than long haired.
I have had cats all my life, I'm nearly 60 and born and raised on a farm. So, I looked up the breed, because Mazy was so totally different....big fluffy feet, fluffy fur around her neck, loves the cold, ADORES running water, and chatters alot. She took right to my 2 yr old shelter cat Lucy right away.
She is now 17 months old and just FULL of energy. My husband says she is the most interesting cat EVER.
So, Maine Coon in part, or maybe just looks the part, she is ours forever. She can fetch and play frisbee, and I can't believe there are people who just throw pets away...remember, SPAY/NEUTER!!

Tons of energy and very playful. He attacks everything. Sweet and loving.
We rescued him from the humane society and it was love at first sight.

When I was about ten I moved in with my grandparents. One day my grandfather saw a mangy long haired cat.
At first that was all he saw. But when he looked closer he saw that the clumpy haired cat arm was almost completely severed from its flank out of his love for animals and the adoption of our mother cat Maxine he followed what his heart said and took the terrified desperate young cat to vet.
They reviewed the half dead cat. It had a broken paw the arm was half torn from its shoulder probably from being run down by a careless driver and it had cuts and infections.
The vet gave her professional opinion... "I don't think it will live much longer." My grandfather said give me a couple of weeks. During those few weeks he poured his heart and soul into the recovery of the severely injured and desperate cat.
While hanging on by its last claw my grandfather did every thing in his power to help it down the road of recovery.
Weeks later my grandfather pulled it away from the edge of death and got it back on its feet. After those few long weeks my grandfather took the cat who was once on the edge of death to the same veterinarian.
At first she probably didn't notice the once mangy, small and helpless animal. My grandfather told the vet of the cats recovery. The vet was amazed... she couldn't believe that it was the same cat.
After the visit to the vet my grandfather took the cat home and soon we adopted her after a few mistakes (my grandfather thought the cat was a boy) Lassie Defelice was then the newest member of the family and of all the four cats that we've adopted lassie is by far the sweetest and prettiest of them all thanks to my grandfather, Vic Defelice.
