Two rescued Maine Coons ready for adoption in London, UK

The Facebook page of The Maine Coon Cat Club has led me to the website of The Maine Coon Cat Club on which they have a page concerning welfare and rescue which includes cats currently needing new homes. 

So, on this page, there are two male Maine Coon cats in need of adoption. They are rescue cats. They are both in London, UK.  We are not told by The Maine Coon Cat Club whether there is documentary evidence regarding these two cats in respect of their pedigree. 

So, if you're going to apply to adopt one of these cats, I think you will need to ask about the pedigree and whether there is any paperwork that goes with the cat because without that you don't have certainty that you are adopting a genuine Maine Coon cat. 

This may put a spanner in the works. Perhaps you won't like to hear this. But I think you have to do due diligence when you are supposedly adopting a purebred Maine Coon cat. The same will apply to any purebred cat. And it doesn't matter whether they are rescue cat or whether you buy from a breeder.

The first is Winston who is a 12-year-old silver tabby-and-white Maine Coon cat (see above). He is neutered and vaccinated and has been micro-chipped. He is affectionate and loving but needs a quiet garden away from roads and someone who has the time to give attention to him. They say that he might suit a semi-retired person. He loves being brushed even though his coat does not require brushing very often as it does not matt badly. Winston is nervous and he can get anxious. He's tactile and affectionate.

The second cat is Ted, he is also a 12-year-old cat (see above). He is a red tabby. He is neutered and vaccinated and has been micro-chipped. He has stage II renal issues which is managed with specialised food and he also has stomach acid issues which is also managed with medication twice a day. Ted's coat does matt easily so he needs regular grooming. He does not like grooming and his previous caretakers had him groomed every 12 weeks or so by an outside groomer who visited their home. Once again, he is very tactile and loving and affectionate. 

Unfortunately, Ted had caused an allergic reaction in the husband of the woman who has decided that Ted needs to be rehomed. Comment: I'd have thought that a 12-week gap between grooming was too long. If the matts are bad a professional groomer may hurt the cat. There are no regulations in the UK governing pet groomers. Although it took place at home. Therefore, the groomer can be monitored by the owner. Still, it does not seem ideal to me. Better to groom very regularly and prevent matts.

These adoptions are available as that February 1, 2022. Therefore, they are currently active as far as I know.
