She is very different from my other 3 cats.

This is Miggy!

by Dana Miiller
(Winter Garden, FL)

Miggy is a rescue found with 2 brothers with their umbilical cords still attached. A nice man brought them to a local vet. A Tech nursed them by bottle every 4 hours for 6 weeks.

This is when Miggy joined my family. She's now 1yr old.

She has a great personality, very much her "own" cat, is super playful and loves to hide and ambush you. Also, she's always ready for a game of hide and seek. She always wins!

Please let me know what you all think of Miggy!

Our Hurricane Irma Survivor-Hurricane Jose

by Loretta
(Somerville, MA. USA)

This cat has at least two strikes against his being a Maine Coon, but his looks are too similar to totally dismiss it.

He, his mom, and his two siblings were rescued from an abandoned trailer in Florida.

They had been without food for quite some time. Sadly, mom didn't make it. So, Florida and abandoned--two strikes. He is now 6 months old and weighs 7.5 lbs.

His personality is, well, STRANGE (I've had about 30 cats, so I know what cats are like). When we first got him at 12 weeks, he was so full of energy he would not sit still and never seemed to sleep.

His main interaction with humans and our other two cats was attack--feet, hands, heads. After we took him out on supervised outings he fortunately settled down in the house like a normal cat.

He certainly has many of the personality traits--outgoing, constantly underfoot, sociable. However, he has the most pitiful meow. He likes to sit on shoulders.

I'm attaching 4 pics-full cat, paw, tail, and ears.

Leo Lion

by Lisa Swanson
(Oswego, IL)

Leo is the most loyal, vocal cat I’ve ever shared life with.

As soon as he hears the garage door open when I get home from work I can hear him jump off my bed and run to the door to meet me.

If it’s nice outside—and even if it’s not—the next item on his agenda is to go outside! He thinks that’s the best day ever!! Outside is The Bomb!

Of course I go out with him in our fenced back yard and we make the rounds, making sure all is in order in the yard.

He checks his catnip plant and eyes the squirrel. If we go in the front yard, he has a leash and harness that we walk with.

He follows me everywhere in the house, except for his occasional nap time. He is quite a character in my house and I couldn’t imagine life without him! He is my best furry friend and companion!

Luna

by Jessica
(Palmdale California )

I adopted “Luna” when she was 4 months old at my local shelter.

It was my first time ever there and I did not intend on adopting that same day! But I saw her and it was also her first day there!

And instantly I knew I wanted to adopt her. They told me they had no information for her since she had just gotten there, so they wrote down that she must be a long haired domestic and that was it.

She got her vaccines and was ready for pickup the next day! I look at her often and think she doesn’t seem to look like a plain domestic long hair. I wonder is she is a Maine Coon or even part Maine Coon. I hope you can help!

Loki

Loki

Loki is a 10 week old male kitten that we adopted from the shelter.

He is very loving, and VERY loud and vocal. He loves to sleep in my arms or on top of me.

He looks a lot to me like a lot of the Maine Coons I have met, and has a much more outgoing personality than most cats I've known.

Shelter Kitten

(BC Canada)

Thinking of adopting this one.... I really want a Maine Coon cross (as I can't afford to buy a full one from a breeder) and it looks like she has the long fur at the tips of her ears.... could she be a cross?

She is 3 months old in this picture and weighs about 2.5-3 lbs
