Maine Coon kittens & cats in Durham, North Carolina

Do you want to be admired but not have people be all handsy/huggy with you? Me too!!! I am a gorgeous boy who has had a bit of a rough life and that has led me to be suspicious of some people (especially men). I have tried meditating but found that setting boundaries (3 pets on the head and not 4; snuggles only when authorized) is the best way to go. My person who gave me all the love in all the right doses passed away and now I am looking for that purrfect person who understands that I just like company and to be near you and like to be the one making the first move for attention. I am gorgeous, fluffy, entertaining and low energy. I am an easy boy to have around. I do have allergies to dust and such and as such may sneeze some artsy designs upon occasion but it doesn't slow me down and I don't mind if you don't. I was overlooked by people before my last mom because I am FIV+. What does that mean? Not a lot. It is mostly a label. People say that if I get sick I should go to the vet but that is pretty much what you would do with any cat. So if you care about what it means then you can find out more at https://fivcats.com/. I live with other cats and do fine. I just like a nice window, soft bed and person to snuggle next to. And I love my picture taken. If my handsome face makes you smile, then consider letting me make you smile every day and make me part of your family.  If you are interested in adopting Humphrey, please fill out an adoption application here  https://miasmafia.org/adoption-application You must live within 60-75 miles of the Raligh, NC area in order to qualify for adoption.

This handsome boy is extremely large and likes to be spoiled and have his own way. He wants a quiet home with no dogs, kids and if there are any other cats, they need a slow intro with him. This poor boy lost his person and spent an extended time in boarding. He has been through a lot. He was used to a very quiet home and needs a home like that again. His current foster has other cats and they have slowly been introduced but with letting this boy have his own space as well. He is very vocal and very specific about what he likes. He can be a sweet lover boy but must must must have a person willing to take things slowly with him and give him space to come out and feel comfortable. He has had a rough year of life and now deserves all that he wants.  If you are interested in adopting Mars, please fill out an adoption application here  https://miasmafia.org/adoption-application You must live within 60 miles of the Raleigh, NC area in order to qualify for adoption.

This sweet boy just wants a quiet place and lap time. He is the sweetest of sweet cats with his human and he is so very deserving. He has dealt with losing his home 3 times (through zero fault of his own), so this time it will require the best of best of homes and a person dedicated to spoiling him. Although he may tolerate another cat in the home, he is not going to be a pal or want them near him. He is not a fan of other animals or noise - likely due to the trauma he dealt with when he was dumped outside (where he is way too big of a baby to be).  Inside he is quiet, mellow and unassuming. He will slowly melt into your lap before you even realize he is there. He is cautious in new environments but once he finally feels safe, he will be your constant companion. He is a big guy - over 14 pounds - and fluffy. He will tolerate brushing but will need some substantial cat trees/scratchers as he is not a fan of nail trims.Clearly he has not had a charmed life of mani pedis early on that made him feel comfortable with them and that is fair.  This sweet guy has had way too much bad happen to him to have one more single negative thing happen. He is amazing, sweet, gentle and gorgeous.Habits that he has that you must learn to love - he clearly was an only kitten and did not learn gentle play. If you overstimilate him he will take his massive paws and grab you and maybe nibble. The paws alone are pretty strong and even trimmed, those nails are impressive. And nail trimming. He is not a fan. We do it using two people and can show you how we safetly do it. It is doable if you are willing. This boy isn't always easy but he is a love and gorgeous and the best boy.  If you are ready to ensure this handsome older gent gets all he needs to be happy, then reach out and complete an application. We will make sure that he gets the perfect environment for his needs as he has been through way more than any cat deserves to and now is his time to be happy, spoiled, safe and have a forever home that truly is forever.  If you are interested in adopting Brutus, please fill out an adoption application here  https://miasmafia.org/adoption-application You must live within 60 miles of the Raleigh, NC area in order to qualify for adoption.

Kk was rescued as a kitten from a box on the side of the highway. A long-haired grey Maine Coon, she does not generate allergies like most cats. Kk is now 7. She has been around other Maine Coons and dogs (Yorkies) all her life. However, about a year ago she developed Epilepsy and began having seizures so it is best to have her in a home of low stress (no other cats, dogs or small children). In the last year we have worked with our vet to stabilize her on medication and a special dry diet that has eliminated her seizures and kept her very stable, eating well, and happy. Kk is a very sweet and loving cat. She has always been a snuggler and sitting on any available lap, especially during a nap with a blanket involved. She especially loves a belly rub! We are retiring and moving abroad so cannot take her with us. For the right rehome family, we will provide (pay in advance) 1 year of food and meds to help with her transition and care. Thank you for considering our sweet girl!

Winston and his sister, Simone, have been best friends from the time they were little kittens and get along with one another splendidly. We adopted them when they were about six months old, and they have been an absolute joy. They are indoor only kitties and are very easy to care for: they exhibit none of the annoying bad habits sometimes found in other cats, such as scratching furniture and walking along kitchen countertops, and they provide lots of entertainment. In fact, they are the best cats we’ve ever had. These two are now four years old and in their prime. They are fully vaccinated, chipped and in excellent health. Unfortunately our life style has changed, so that we now need to be away for extended periods of time. This does not seem fair to our kitties who enjoy the company of people, so we are looking for a suitable new home for them. One non-negotiable condition is they must remain together, because separating them would be sad.

Finn was surrendered to the NYC shelter and found himself on death row and completely devastated. He made his way into rescue where he was diagnosed with urinary crystals. Staying on a prescription diet has worked well. He is playful, and loves to run across the wood floor and slide when turning corners. He is talkative and loves to snuggle on his terms. At times he will fall asleep wrapped around your arm or in your lap. He can have some catitude from time to time so would not recommend young children or an inexperienced cat person. He is hopeful to find that Purrfect home with someone willing to have a little understanding and patience. Finn fell in love with a young woman who went off to collage. Finn is seeking a gentle soul looking for a loving devoted companion. Signed, Finn.

Toonces is a super sweet, sociable cat who loves to cuddle up. Toonces was born in Asheville and we adopted her from my daughter about about 13 years ago when she was a kitten. She handles crowds well and is very comfortable with adults and children. She is very gentle with kids and has a great disposition. Unfortunately, we are moving across country and can't bring Toonces with us. She is house trained and likes sleeping inside, but enjoys exploring the outdoors during the day. Toonces is truly an awesome cat!

Simba is a sweet and playful boy, but not coping well with the addition of a new baby. His anxiety is causing him to urinate around the house and I have to make the extremely difficult decision to find him a new, loving home. He is also bonded with his sister, Nala (also 12), so I think they would be happier in a new home together. Simba loves to cuddle with his catnap toys, and also play fetch with rubber bands. Nala loves dribbling crinkly balls like a soccer ball! I can't belive they are 12 because they play like kittens. They will snuggle with me on the couch (when they decide to :)) and sleep in bed with me. They are inside cats, spayed/neutered. They will do best in a generally quiet home with no dogs. They also love plenty of windows for sleeping in the sun and bird-watching.
