re: #445 reine.de.tout

I want a Maine Coon in the worst sort of way, but the Roi would kill me if I brought home another cat. All of ours (5 right now) are adopted from abandoned litters, or they’ve just shown up starving. We’d love to find a good home for the newest one but adult cats are hard to place. Everybody wants a kitten.

I love Maine Coon cats. So gorgeous! I really want one!

I have a general policy of adopting only adult cats, preferably from shelters, and especially shelters that kill cats after a wait period when they aren’t adopted.
The kittens will always find a home, but the best and most loving cats I’ve adopted were adult cats from shelters.

I hate going to shelters though, because I always want to take every animal home. So I’ll never have a Maine Coon cat or a Siamese or anything like that, even though I love them, because they get adopted or were specially bred and placed.
