In 2006, Maine Coon Adoptions launched an initiative to increase rescue of older, special needs, and shy kitties. Within a year and a half, their rescue rate for these cats rose from 4% to 17% of their total adoptions. Since then, about one in five cats in their care has been a senior cat, or a cat with special needs. The organization even has a crew of specially trained volunteers, the Kitty Cuddlers, who ensure shy or traumatized cats get plenty of human contact so they can learn to trust again. It is primarily these special cats who will come into Cat Town’s care after December 31.
In addition, Cat Town has committed to accepting returns of any cat adopted from Maine Coon Adoptions for the rest of the cats’ lives. If the guardian is no longer able to care for them, Cat Town will provide a vital safety-net to keep these cats out of shelters. Cat Town’s mission is to transform the approach to saving shelter cats, reducing euthanasia nationwide.
