About Maine

Maine has had a challenging start in life, coming from a hoarding situation with 27 other cats. He’s still figuring out how to feel safe and comfortable around people. At the shelter, Maine allows some pets and playtime, but he can become overstimulated. He needs someone who understands when he says, “I’ve had enough.” It’s not about being difficult; it’s about learning to communicate his needs. Maine would thrive with a cat-savvy foster or adopter who understands feline body language, gives him time to decompress, and, most importantly, ensures he gets plenty of affection. With patience and a few tasty treats, Maine may just discover the joys of having his own special person. You can make a big difference in Maine's life.
