Looking For A Kitten Or Two

[Captain O]

I had a cat named Cleo. She went missing 2 years ago and never came back.

I'm sorry. I KNOW how you feel.

Do you know where I might obtain one?

We got ours at the Humane Society. They are not common there though because they are a pedigree breed. Here are a few breeders:
Havah Maine Coons - Home
Big River Coon - Maine Coon Cats & Kittens Available Kittens
Welcome
Best of luck! One thing is though if you aren't adopting, they will be spendy. Since they are a pedigree breed that is shown a lot and are very prized, they can run into the thousands of $$.

No kittens.

But I found a great deal on a Cat.

We had a Maine Coon that we rescued from a very abusive situation, you might say we catnapped him to get him away from a bad situation. He was the sweetest, most gentle cat we have ever had. For the first 7 years we had him he made absolutely no sound, we just assumed his voice box had someway been damaged. Then one day out of the blue he meowed and since that day he never stopped. He lived to be 15 years old and my children and oldest grandchild remember him and miss him to this day.

I Think I may have found one to rescue.

That's awesome!

@BEN LILLY , post a picture of your kitty when you get him.

You know, some cats can get pretty big. Ever seen a liger?

They're a different kind of cat, that's for sure. I got mine from my mom when she was going into senior housing and couldn't keep him. He was a year old then, probably 14-15 now. He'll play fight, no claws and very gentle biting. If he gets carried away biting and you tell him to take it easy he'll start licking the spot like " Oop sorry!" I've only seen him fight twice, once when his buddy got jumped by a neighborhood cat and was getting his butt kicked and once after I took in a big stray Tom that thought he was going to be the boss cat. He (the stray) was getting thumped pretty good around the head and shoulders and decided he didn't want any part of 25 lbs of POed Maine Coon. He's been real meek and mild since.

I am a bad person... I want to post telling you to try the orange bouncy targets from sportsman's rather than kittens...

Sorry...

 

[Andy54Hawken]

That was funny and I like cats ... So just who is the bad person?

Back in December when the OP was started, we started looking for a kitten. Could not find any and when we saw some months later they were expensive.

One day a cat showed up at our house. She appeared abandoned. We started taking care of her and soon she settled in and became a nice house cat and a good mouser when we let her out.

Fast forward to 4-weeks ago and she decides to have kittens.

Now we have a mom cat and six kittens.

This one is Zoro...I'm keeping her.



This is mom...she is taking a break from the kids



I've seen that look from human moms.

Thumbs looks a lot like our cat Bandit. He was found on our property two years ago this coming labor day weekend. He was only five weeks old and other four legged creatures were looking for him at the sametime. I think he loves the world and has a hair trigger purr button.

^^Bandit looks like a hipster with that goatee
