Older Cats Looking For Homes - Welfare and Rescue Page

CATS CURRENTLY NEEDING NEW HOMESAre you considering adopting a Maine Coon?Often the cats that need a new home find themselves in this situation through no fault of their own. The reasons for re-homing are numerous and can vary from an allergy to cats within the household, emigrating to another country or breakdown of a marriage or partnership. Most of the cats looking for new homes have no known medical or behaviour problems, although occasionally they do and you need to have a long chat with the current owner to gain a full understanding of any issues with the cats.
Many of the cats tend to be older – it is very rare to have a kitten that requires a new home. Some cats need to go to homes where there are no other animals or children. Others have no problem with this - it all depends on the individual cat. The website has all the current cats available and it will be updated weekly. You CANNOT sell your cat on this site, all cats go FREE of charge, although obviously we do accept donations as we often have to pay for veterinary bills on cats being rehomed.
We do not keep a list of potential new owners or people looking to give a home to a Maine Coon. Any cat currently looking for a new home is posted on this page, so check back regularly. If you need help or advice because you need to rehome your Maine Coon and are based in the UK, email the Welfare Co-Ordinator, although we must state that we cannot guarantee that we can help in all situations as we are a small hobby cat club, not a cat rehoming centre. If the reason for possible rehome is because of your potential vet bills, we have a dedicated page offering advice on this subject - Cost of Living - Help with Vets Fees. Please be patient as we do get a lot of rehome queries and it takes time to respond.

COCO Coco is a three-year-old, brown tabby female Maine Coon looking for a new home due to marriage breakdown and relocation. Coco has been neutered and microchipped, however her vaccinations have not kept up to date due to being an indoor cat only. She is in good health.
Coco is used to living with another cat and younger children. She would be best suited to a safe indoor only home with sensible children, but no dogs. Ideally, she would love access to a catio.

Her coat tends to stay in good condition and rarely if ever becomes matted. She can be shy of new people at first but loves to be close to you when she gets to know you.
If you can offer Coco her forever home then please contact Jacky our rehoming coordinator at mcccrescue@gmail.com The rehoming donation for Coco will be £150.

DIOGO Diogo (affectionately called Dodo) is a 14-month-old Silver Tabby & White Maine Coon who is looking for a loving home. He is neutered and vaccinated and has been micro-chipped. He will need his vaccination booster done soon. Also, his micro-chip changed to his new owner.
He is in excellent health. He did have a small procedure last year for fur/ eyelashes that were irritating his eye ball. This was successful and he had no ongoing problems.
He is a teenager and is therefore very playful - he loves feather wands.
Dodo was my daughter’s cat initially - He lived in a busy household with young children (the 2-year-old would want to play with him and Dodo would spend his days hiding from him), then when another baby came along DoDo came to stay with me. He has been with me for 3 months and I am sadly not able to keep him as I am out a lot and he doesn’t get the attention he deserves. Given this, his next home must be his forever home.

He has not lived with other cats or dogs so would properly be best suited to being an only pet and with older children/teenagers, He did have access to a secure garden so must have a cat secure garden or catio. He needs someone who has the time to play and give him one to one attention. He would possibly suit a semi-retired home. His coat tends to matt easily, so he does need regular brushing. This isn't a problem providing grooming sessions are kept quite short.
Once he gets to know you, he is a tactile, loving and a very affectionate boy.Dodo has an extra large cat tree which he loves, and spends his time laying on the top perch looking out of the window. His favourite passion is watching cat TV!
If you can offer Dodo his forever home then please contact Jacky, our rehoming coordinator, at mcccrescue@gmail.com. There will be a £300 rehoming donation for Dodo.
