If you’re interested in adopting a cat, one of CatRanger’s adoption counselors will meet with you virtually to see if the adoption is a good fit, as well as if there are any potential hazards such as owning common household plants that may be toxic to cats, such as a Monstera or Ficus.
If you’re looking for a Maine Coon cat, CatRangers is likely one of your best options as they tend to have many in-house that are looking for their forever families. To view the Maine Coon cats available for adoption, just click on “Search Animals” under the “About Adoption” tab on their homepage. Though the team at CatRangers prefers to have adoptions occur locally, they will sometimes grant long-distance adoptions in certain situations.
Georgia Organisations Dedicated to Help You Find a Rescue Pet
The following pet rescue organisations are local to Georgia. While they don’t focus on Maine Coons or cats, it’s worth checking whether they have any Maine Coons available.
Clayton County Humane Society
Clayton County Humane Society is “where second chances begin.” Operating out of the metro-Atlanta area, this humane society provides love, medical care, and food to cats and dogs while they await adoption.
The Clayton County Humane Society is a no-kill shelter. As such, they will never put an animal down to make room for more. However, just because that’s not an action they subscribe to, they do know that it’s something that happens far too often in the state of Georgia and elsewhere in the United States. That’s why they work hard to provide the public with responsible pet ownership, including the importance of spaying and neutering animals so those that are unwanted don’t end up at a kill shelter.
They have a wide variety of cats available for adoption, including Maine Coons. Keep an eye out for their new adoptable cats to find your next best friend. Adoption fees are $100.
PAWS Atlanta
PAWS Atlanta has been a pillar in the community for nearly 60 years. Founded in 1964, they have dedicated the last 58 years to offering a safe and nurturing sanctuary to cats and dogs until they reach their FURever home. As of 2023, they have found homes for over 49,000 animals and they’re not planning on stopping anytime soon.
Their mission is “to build a community of caring, by people helping pets and pets helping people.” The fact that PAWS Atlanta is solely funded by their supporters echoes this sentiment. Those interested in adopting a cat, such as a Maine Coon, can browse their website for pictures of the cats currently available for adoption. Kitty meet-and-greets are available by appointment only.
If you can’t adopt at the moment, PAWS Atlanta encourages those looking to make a difference to foster a cat until they can be adopted by a family.
Furkids
Furkids has 11 locations throughout the state and is the largest no-cage, no-kill shelter in the Southeastern United States. They rescue more than 5000 stray and neglected animals per year and, as of 2022, have saved more than 65000 cats and dogs, giving them the love and medical care they need until they are adopted by their new parents.
Furkids is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. They believe in healing the whole animal, including its physical body and spirit. That’s why Furkids encourage children of all ages to volunteer so that the bond between humans and animals can be strengthened.
All of the cats available for adoption are given the highest level of love and attention until they find their forever homes. All adoption inquiries are answered within 72 of applying.
Atlanta Humane Society
The Atlanta Humane Society has been saving the lives of Maine Coon cats and dogs for 150 years. Located in Atlanta, the Atlanta Humane Society was founded in 1873 and holds the title of being the first non-religious non-profit organization in Atlanta, Georgia.
In addition to offering a safe space for stray animals to receive food, love, and care until they are adopted into their forever homes, the Atlanta Humane Society partners with several other companies in the area, like Paws Between Homes, which helps those who are considering surrendering their pet due to challenges, keep their pet.
All of the pets available for adoption receive a comprehensive medical assessment and applicable treatment plan, behavioral analysis and training, vaccinations, deworming, and heartworm protection so you can trust that your new furry friend is in great health. Since their founding, they have found loving homes for more than 5,000 pets.
Angels Among Us Pet Rescue
Many of the cats and dogs that find themselves at Angels Among Us Pet Rescue were at risk of being euthanized due to overcrowding at other shelters. This 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue organization helps rehabilitate stray dogs and cats that were severely neglected, abused, and overbred while they await adoption into their FURever homes.
Since 2009, Angels Among Us Pet Rescue has rescued 20,000 animals. To view the adoptable cats on their website, just click here. Once you apply, your application remains valid for one year.
Georgia Animal Rescue And Defence (GARD)
Georgia Animal Rescue and Defence (or GARD for short) believes that pets deserve to have “a life worth living,” and all of their efforts are made to ensure that happens.
In addition to providing food, shelter, and medical attention to the animals within their care, the team at GARD focuses on providing love and human companionship to cats and dogs who may have never experienced it before. It’s this line of thinking that echoes the company’s mission, which is to “reduce the number of dogs and cats being killed in shelters by promoting spaying and neutering, educating the public, and by rescuing abandoned, abused, or neglected companion animals from high kill shelters and finding them loving permanent homes.”
Their adoption process is thorough. After submitting your application, you’ll be interviewed over the phone, undergo a vet reference check, and if you have other animals, go through a home visit.
Though thorough, it’s designed to ensure that the animals in their care are not at risk of going back to the very situation they escaped from. Meeting with their adoptable cats is by appointment only. But, after you make an appointment, you’ll be sure to fall in love with your new furry best friend.
