(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) Maine Coon Adoptions is the adoption division of Preventing Euthanasia Through Rescue (PET Rescue), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Maine Coon Adoptions is dedicated to rescuing abused, abandoned, surrendered and homeless kitties and to finding loving, carefully-screened, adoptive homes for them. The group was founded in the San Francisco Bay area in October 2003, and since then, we have rescued and adopted out hundreds of kitties from all over California (and beyond!). We are a team of volunteers who love all cats and are particularly drawn to Maine Coon and Maine Coon mixes because of their wonderful personalities. We are very proud of our accomplishments—nearly 2,000 kitties rescued and rehomed since the organization was formed—particularly since we are all volunteers with no paid staff or dedicated facility. MCA is a no-kill rescue and we are committed to providing comprehensive veterinary care for our kitties.

All cats adopted through MCA are up-to-date on shots (rabies, distemper and FVRCP), tested for FeLV/FIV, spayed or neutered, and microchipped. There's a place for you on our team, too. You can become a part of a success story for some of our beloved Maine Coons. Visit our Volunteer page to see how. •$180 for pure breds with papers •$155 for kittens up to one year old •$130 for healthy cats from one to eight years old •$105 for mature cats over eight years old or special-needs cats Volunteers are the lifeblood of animal rescue. There are many ways you might be of service, but most importantly, we want you to do something you ENJOY doing. There's a lot to do, but we also have a lot of fun while saving kitties. If you think you'd like to help us help kitties, please contact us at elaineln@pacbell.net or at (510) 482-6179. Big San Jose house cat gets mistaken for bobcat Animal Control often gets called to a home in San Jose because people get freaked out by a huge house cat, thinking it's a bobcat.

If you've walked through San Jose's Rose Garden neighborhood, you might have seen a large, furry animal staring out a window at you. Many people walking by think a wild animal, but it is not a bobcat. It's just a really, really big house cat.Spock is no ordinary house cat. Holding him requires two hands and a strong back.

To have a pet like Spock requires a lot of patience. He refuses to be alone, so he will open closed doors. He watches YouTube videos to help him fall asleep, and he tends to break just about anything in his path."It's a lot like having a toddler in the house. We have to Spock-proof the house," Pizarev said.She pointed out all of the decorative home items on top of the end tables are locked down with earthquake putty.

Now for a little about me, my husband and our gorgeous cats ...  My name is Patty Frazier, I have had and loved cats my entire life. I am absolutely passionate about caring for, breeding, loving and enjoying this wonderful breed they call the," Maine Coon!" I am a retired Security Police Officer; I spent over 31 years working for a Government Contractor maintaining a top security "Q" clearance. When I retired I traded in my handgun for a Poop-Scoop and could not be happier! I love our hobby of breeding Maine Coons and devote my entire day to the love and care of our cats and kittens.  I am married to my best friend, my love, my partner and the most wonderful, supportive man on earth, Clifford.  Clifford is a very dedicated and very accomplished Mechanical Engineer. Our lives are enriched by having our Maine Coon's and we enjoy enriching the lives of others with our kittens! While working all of those years I took care of the wild and feral cat population and was dubbed, "The Cat Lady."  

Many times I spent countless hours taming and traping these feral cats and taking them to the vet to have them spay and neutered so that we could find them a new, loving and forever home. There were times that we would spay and neutered and released them as they were just to wild to be a pet.  I cannot count how many times we had one of them at the vet’s office having something fixed on them or a surgery performed because they were injured. I could never thank my wonderful husband, Clifford, enough for his undying support that he gave to me and these cats for all of his time and expense he invested in them purely for his love of the cats and for me.  When I retired the men I worked with took over their care, and yes, there were many of these men with guns who loved these cats as much as I did!  After retiring I decided I had worked with rescues my entire life and had always had Maine Coon mixes and domestics, I decided I was finally going to get the cat of my dreams, a registered Maine Coon!  

So, here I am today and the rest is history, I'm the proud mom who is ran and owed by the cats and kittens of, "Vasili's Maine Coon Cats!" I am truly living my dream! We are very proud of our girls and boys here at Vasili's, they have made many families very happy with their gorgeous kittens.  All of our fur-children are an important part of our family; their happiness and care are paramount to us and always come first in our hearts and our daily lives.  We are confident that our kittens will become an important and loving part of your life too!
