MAINE
COON BREED SOCIETY
RETIRED
FRIENDS
Occasionally, we do
hear of cats that
need to be re-homed
for various reasons
and we also get enquiries
from people who would
prefer an older cat
to a kitten. In an
effort to tie these
in together we intend
to keep a register
of people looking
for older cats, and
if you would like
to be included, then
please contact the
secretary at who is
keeping this list.
Regrettably, one aspect
of breeding for that
"perfect cat",
makes it necessary
for breeding cats
to be retired, from
time to time. This
can be for a variety
of reasons. Sometimes,
their kittens are
just not what the
breeder was hoping
for, or perhaps their
pedigree clashes with
that of a new cat,
or, as often happens,
this particular cat
is just not happy
in a multi-cat household.
Occasionally,
such cats need to
find new and loving
homes, in a normal
family situation,
where they can live
out the rest of their
lives, happily, being
pampered, and of course,
idolised. Once neutered,
(this is always arranged
by the breeder, before
re-homing), these
cats make loving,
happy pets. They are
usually young (one
to four years is common)
and will quickly adapt
to their new circumstances.
For those people who
are looking for a
beautiful, pedigree,
Maine Coon to love,
but cannot deal with
the liveliness of
a new kitten, or manage
the initial expense,
these cats can be
ideal. You can expect
that such a cat will
be considerably cheaper
than the cost of a
kitten, as the breeder
has lived with this
cat in their house,
it is, after all,
their pet, first and
foremost, and they
will be seeking to
place them in the
ideal situation. The
happiness of the cat
is ALWAYS paramount.
However, do expect
to pay a reasonable
amount for such a
pet - the breeder
will be looking, quite
rightly, for a degree
of commitment from
the new owner, which
a small purchase price
often helps to provide.
Listed below are the
details of those cats
on our lists at present,
together with a contact
no. If you are interested,
please do feel free
to contact the owner
listed. It is important,
however, that you
do read the given
information. Some
cats require to be
the only cat around
- if you already have
several, then it is
pointless trying to
adopt such a cat,
no matter how much
you like the look
of him or her.
*********************************
If you would like
to contact the Secretary
to put your details
on our homing list
should a suitable
cat become available
please mail to
lynnettecannell68@googlemail.com
Our
aim, when seeking
homes for older cats
is to match the needs
of the cats on our
list with the requirements
and home situation
of prospective adoptees.
Please dont be offended
if we ask if you have
children, plan to
let the cat out, or
have other pets, or
live in an area of
busy roads. All of
these factors, and
others, need to be
taken into account
when pairing up.
The
MCBS does not currently
offer a home visit
check. We act merely
as a listing and introduction
agency, and leave
it up to the current
new owner to make
all suitable checks.
We make no charge
for matching up cats
with suitable new
homes, even though
it can take considerable
time spent on phone
calls, emailing, etc.
However, we are always
grateful to receive
a donation to our
Rescue fund.
We currently have
the following cats
looking for new homes.
If you think that
you can offer one
of these a home, please
contact the Secretary
on 01327 844069 or
lynnettecannell68@googlemail.com
for further information.

DURHAM |
10
year old female
tortie tabby
and white is
looking for
new home in
Durham. (The
owner has to
move to unsuitable
home for this
cat, who is
used to going
outside, and
the new home
has no garden).
The owner is
willing to travel,
to deliver the
cat to a suitable
new home, as
she is desperate
to find her
somewhere she
will be loved
and cared for.
She is used
to small children,
and other pets,
is vaccinated
up to date and
speyed. She
has no health
issues and is
a friendly,
lovable cat
who is in desperate
need of a home.
