This weeks Senior Sunday post focus’ on the East Coast Maine Coon Rescue based in Keansburg, NJ.
Note: In memory of my beloved Maine Coon cat, Little Minx, this week’s Senior Sunday post will include senior cats!
From the East Coast Maine Coon Rescue website
The East Coast Maine Coon Rescue (ECMCR) is a 501c3 non-profit. We run on donations and volunteers. Our mission is to save Maine Coon and Maine Coon mixed cats and kittens from kill shelters and other bad situations. We place them in loving foster homes, providing food, shelter, toys, safety and love while they await their forever home with you.
ECMCR was born in 2009 through a dedicated group of volunteers. We have rescued and placed hundreds of Maine Coon cats and kittens and wish to continue growing and expanding.
We are a breed specific group, specializing in Maine Coons and Maine Coon mixes. By adopting from us, you are saving the life of these magnificent cats. Maine Coons are incredibly loving and loyal. They make perfect companions!
East Coast Maine Coon Rescue makes adopting a new furry family member easy. We have trained case managers who will be your matchmaker between you and your new cat/kitten. Our cats and kittens are sheltered in private, loving foster homes just waiting for you to adopt them.
Seniors have a lot to teach, we just need to be willing to watch, listen, and learn… (Divinity’s Dad, 2012)
Here are some, but not all of the senior cats currently available for adoption from the East Coast Maine Coon Rescue.
Socrates
Socrates is in foster care in West Milford, New Jersey.
Socrates is a healthy, handsome brown classic tabby medium haired boy who absolutely adores his person. He loves attention, will sleep and
cuddle with you, will follow you around, loves petting and is curious about any bag you bring home with something in it.
Socrates has a dominant personality and wants something when he wants it. He is insistent when he wants attention. He wants all the attention and dislikes any other cat getting attention so he would do best in a home by himself.

Sasha (Not Yet Senior)
Sasha AKA Pawtucktaway Alexandra is a Courtesy Post in Brooklyn, New York. For more information or to be considered for adoption, please contact Megan at mjw132@gmail.com.
Sasha is a gorgeous full Maine Coon with lots of personality who likes to be where the people are. Though not a lap cat, she will follow her people from room to room and sit next to them on the couch, often insisting that someone pet her head and neck. She is remarkably soft and sleek, and at 16-pounds is also captivating to look at. Those giant whiskers! Those tufty ears! Those paws!
Sasha’s hitch in life is that she is easily overstimulated. She tends to bring out the claws when petting turns into play, and she is rough and somewhat aggressive toward other cats. In her original home, Sasha was easily accommodated, but the addition of new household members including a cat and specifically a toddler have been increasingly stressful for her. Sasha needs to be in a home with no children, probably no other cats, and definitely no dogs.

Coco (Bonded Pair)
Coco (black) and Cody (white)
Coco is a Courtesy Post located in Neptune, NJ. Coco would like to be adopted with his buddy, Cody. For more information on these two boys, contact Katherine at khepburn52350@gmail.com. Coco and Cody need to be re-homed due to health issues of their current owner.
Here is what their owner had to say about Coco:
“Coco is a King in his Castle. I call him my Cat/Dog because he follows me around from room to room, sits and lays by my feet, begs for food like a dog. He is very smart, knows when he has done something wrong. At night when it’s bedtime we have this little ritual. I shut off the television and say to Coco, “Come on Coco time to go night night.” (they sleep in the basement in their little houses) and Coco will lay down on the floor all stretched out waiting for me to slide him across the floor to the top of the stairs, tail wagging, looking at me with those big yellow owl looking eyes as if he were saying “Come on mommy, slide me again please, please, please.) and we just crack up. It’s a sight for sore eyes for sure.
Coco loves to be in the kitchen when I’m cooking, but I have to step over, step around him because he is always close by me and he will not move. He is my ride or die Cat/Dog. He has a wonderful personality. If he were a person, he would be sarcastically funny, arrogantly superior and extremely confident.”
Coco is special needs. He is Humulin-N 100 dependent. He takes 4 units every 12 hours on a daily basis. Eats MD-4 cat food.

Cody (Bonded Pair)
Cody (white) and Coco (black)
Cody is a Courtesy Post located in Neptune, NJ. Cody would like to be adopted with his buddy, Coco. For more information on these two boys, contact Katherine at khepburn52350@gmail.com. Cody and Coco need to be re-homed due to health issues of their current owner.
Here is what their owner had to say about Cody:
“Cody is a very lovable lap cat. He will let you pet him but only on his terms. You cannot approach him to quickly because he’ll get scared and run and hide. When he wants pets, he will come to you, lay at your feet, meow meow, touch your feet with his paw until you pet him. Then when you stop, if he hasn’t had his fill of pets, he will nibble at your leg.
Cody is more of a cat person than a people person. He loves being with Coco those two are too funny together. He loves to go outside on the porch but he will leave the porch if unattended. However, a couple times that he’s’ gotten loose, he went to the neighbors porch for a couple hours, then he came right back home. So I’ve learned that I cannot leave him unattended for a second or he will take advantage and go for it.”
