The core of what we do at Maine Coon Kitten Rescue is rescue, foster, care for, and adopt out cats and kittens. We do this to prevent them from dying on the streets or being euthanized. We rescue cats and kittens from a variety of situations. Most live in our volunteers’ homes and those volunteers foster them until we can find permanent homes for them. Some who need special care, are elderly, or are unlikely to be adopted live at the MCHR Sanctuary.
Our volunteers care for all Ragdoll cats and kittens we come across. We care for orphaned and abandoned kittens that need to be bottle-fed around the clock, moms with litters, cats that need socialization, and sick or injured animals. We care for the animals until they are old enough, healthy enough, and socialized enough. At that point, our volunteers work to find amazing, forever homes for them.
We have multiple life-saving programs at Maine Coon Haven Rescue. A cornerstone of what we do is outreach and education. Maine Coon Haven Rescue educates the public on responsible pet guardianship. We teach people how to care for kittens and cats, and explain the importance of spaying and neutering. We coach people on Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) and managing feral cat colonies. During kitten season, our volunteers also teach bottle-feeding classes for people who want to care for unweaned kittens.

Thinking about giving up a cat?
Giving up your cat is not easy – whether you’ve experienced a bereavement, relationship break-up or changes in your environment.
While we’re keen to provide advice to keep your feline friend at home with you, we can also help guide you through rehoming your cat.
Speaking to Ragdolls Kitten Rescue means your pet will be in a safe place and placed in the right home for their needs.
