About Maine

Maine has been through a lot. Coming from a hoarding situation with 27 other cats, he’s still figuring out how to feel safe and comfortable around people. While at the shelter, Maine enjoys some pets and playtime but can become overstimulated. It's essential for his future adopter to recognize when he has had enough. He isn’t being difficult—he’s simply learning to communicate his needs. We’re looking for a cat-savvy foster or adopter who understands feline body language and will provide the time he needs to decompress. Most importantly, Maine needs someone who will continue showering him with affection. With patience, understanding, and some tasty treats, he may discover that having his very own person can be wonderfully fulfilling. Click apply to start the adoption process.
