Be sure to do research as with any pet. Not many first time cat buyers know or want to know about the reality of declawing or what goes into most pet foods. I would check out this site.

Stats about all US cities - real estate, relocation info, house prices, home value estimator, recent sales, cost of living, crime, race, income, photos, education, maps, weather, houses, schools, neighborhoods, and more.


Mane coons also have long hair that needs to be brushed and they grow BIG for a domestic- this of course means higher cat food bills..


I'm all for rescue but keep in mind animal could have been abused and will need time and trust to be won over.
