Rescue Adoptees Gallery

2000 - 2001

Below are follow-ups on a few of our earlier rescues.

If you've adopted a rescue cat through UMCCRL, we'd love to add an update about them to the Gallery. Feel free to write us ... photos are always welcome, too!

Maine Coons, Ben and George

Monday, November 26, 2001

Ben and George are settling nicely into their new home! 

Wednesday, November 7, 2001

A change in family circumstances has resulted in the need to place Ben and George as soon as possible. Both of these boys are neutered, declawed, and up-to-date on their shots:

Ben -

• Black and white
• 7 years old

George -

• Red and white
• 6 years old

They have lived with small dogs in the past without any problems. George is very friendly and outgoing. Ben is a little shy at first but is also friendly.

Maine Coon look-alike, Leontine

Thursday, November 1, 2001

Leontine has found a new home!

Wednesday, October 3, 2001

• Boston, MA area
• Young
• Brown tabby

Leontine was found a few weeks ago in someone's back yard. She was famished, frightened, and obviously lost. The person who found her posted signs and took out newspaper ads, but no one has responded.

Leontine is young, sweet, affectionate, playful, calm, and good-tempered. Her fosterer would love to keep her but cannot due to allergies.

Maine Coon, Oksana

Thursday, July 26, 2001

Oksana has found a new home!

Wednesday, July 11, 2001

• Long Island, NY
• 9 years old

Oksana is a chatty, playful girl. A few months ago her home was renovated and since then, she has been urinating outside of her litter box. Her owners have been patient but have not been able to determine what is bothering her. Oksana gets along with other cats and dogs and is a charming and entertaining companion.

Maine Coon look-alike, Sophie

Saturday, July 14, 2001

Sophie has found a new home!

Saturday, May 26, 2001

• New Hampshire
• 2 - 3 years old

Sophie is a black Maine Coon look-alike, spayed and up-to-date on her shots. She is a loving cat and gets along well with children. Sometimes she has an accident outside her litter box. If you are willing to help this sweet girl to overcome this, Sophie will return your patience and love many times over.

Maine Coon, Apollo

Thursday, June 28, 2001

Apollo has found a new home!

Monday, June 11, 2001

• Rhode Island
• 3 years old
• Neutered male

Apollo is a silver tabby Maine Coon.  Curious and sometimes affectionate, he is also very strong-willed when he does not want to do something, such as when attempts are made to brush him, put him into a carrier for a vet visit, or to move him when he does not want to be moved. At such times he hisses and scratches, and he has also bitten. The owner is fearful of Apollo's behavioral issues and is hoping not to have to surrender him to a shelter.

Maine Coon, Kerri

Monday, June 25, 2001

Kerri was taken into foster care ... thanks, Fran! ... and quickly adopted. When a potential adopter came to see her, Kerri snuggled, purring, into her arms. Thank you, Betty, for giving this sweet girl a new home where she will get lots of one-on-one love and attention!

Tuesday, June 19, 2001

• Portland, Maine area
• 2.5 years old
• Brown tabby, spayed
• Healthy, up-to-date on shots

Kerri is very loving to people and gets along with the family dogs. Unfortunately, she took a strong dislike to another cat in the family and chases her at every opportunity. The other cat was recently injured and while the exact circumstances of the injury were not witnessed, Kerri was probably responsible as she had been chasing the cat. Kerri ignores the other cats in the home. Kerri's owners are very sad to have to give her up and are seeking an only-cat home for her. She avoids efforts to groom her, so will also need someone willing to work patiently to accustom her to regular grooming.

Maine Coon look-alikes, Becky and Tom

Becky and Tom have found a new home!

Friday, March 9, 2001

• Boston area
• 10 years old

Becky and Tom are a brother and sister whose owner has developed serious allergies and, sadly, must find a new home for them. As Becky and Tom have been together their whole lives, we would like to place them together if at at possible. Very affectionate kitties, their special trick is to stand up on their back legs for treats. They are up-to-date on their shots. Becky and Tom would be an especially perfect match for a mature person who would enjoy their quiet, loving companionship.

13 Maine Coons in Delaware

Sunday, April 22, 2001

All of these cats have been placed!
 

Saturday, April 14, 2001

• Delaware
• All healthy
• All neutered/spayed
• Age range, 5 to 12 years old
• All registered Maine Coons, with papers

A couple retired from breeding are seeking to place their retired cats due to serious allergies. These cats have all had the run of the house. Some would do best in only-cat homes; some are reclusive and will need someone willing to be patient and help them to adapt to a new life where they can blossom as the center of love and attention.

Maine Coon look-alike, Longfellow

Tuesday, February 6, 2001

Longfellow has found a new home!
 

Wednesday, January 31, 2001

Longfellow is a 6-year-old boy in Massachusetts. His owners are seeking a new home for him due to a family member's allergies. They adopted him from a shelter three years ago. He was already neutered and declawed when he was adopted from the shelter.

Longfellow is in excellent health and is a long and muscular 12 pound cat. He is well-behaved. A lap lover who enjoys giving as well as receiving attention, he is also quite talkative, always ready with an "eck, eck!" comment.

Longfellow is very friendly once he knows you, and gets along with other cats. A bit skittish around toddlers, he would be happiest with a mature family.

Maine Coon, Brennan

Tuesday, November 21, 2000

Brennan has found a wonderful new home and is settling in nicely!

Tuesday, June 27, 2000

This handsome kitty is Brennan, a 7 1/2 -year-old Maine Coon. He lives in southern California, though he originally hails from the Massachusetts Cape area.

Brennan is looking for a special person to adopt him. He's diabetic, and while his diabetes is stable, he does need daily insulin shots. Insulin usually has to be administered on a schedule. Unfortunately, his owner's professional obligations make it difficult for Brennan to receive the attention he needs.

His owner is heartbroken to have to place him, but feels that it is most important for him that he live with someone who can provide the care he needs. The owner will not ship Brennan, and is willing to hand-deliver him, if necessary, to a suitable home.

Keegan

February 5, 2000

... one of the kitties from the January 2000 rescue.

Keegan, which means "Little Fiery One," is a red mctabby. He's "a bundle of energy, a real joy, and very loving."
