OMC! (Only Maine Coons Rescue) is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization. We are a 100% volunteer-run/breed-specific rescue group that specializes in the Maine Coon Cat breed. We rescue Maine Coon Cat / Kitten mixes from shelters and unwanted situations. On occasion, we rescue purebred (PB) Maine Coon Cat / Kitten(s). In addition all of our cats are lovingly cared for in Foster homes until they are placed into their “furrever” homes. We are a close-knit group who all work together to make adoptions happen as quickly as possible, and to ensure a happy ending for the coonie and the new adopter.
Our adoption process is broken down into 4 stages. We will process your application as quickly as possible and will correspond with you as each stage is completed. Our stages are as follows: Once your application is assigned to an adoption coordinator, they will help guide you thru the process. Stages: 1. Personal interview with you, vet reference and personal reference. 2. Foster interview (This is an important stage, where you make sure the cat you are interested in adopting is the best fit for you.) 3. Home visit. 4. Arrange to pick up the cat/kitten. Once you are approved to adopt a particular cat/kitten, we will ask you to complete the Adoption Agreement form and to make your adoption donation. Make arrangements to get your new family member. If you are adopting a young kitten that has not been spayed or neutered yet, we will ask you to complete the OMC Spay/Neuter Contract and to prepay for this procedure with your vet. You may also use one of the programs that OMC offers - Friends of Animals, www.friendsofanimals.org, or the NJ Spay/Neuter Program (Your Application Coordinator will guide you). Please note that kittens under the age of 7 months must be adopted into a home with an existing cat or in pairs. Our adoption policy requires that an adopter have a cat already in the home, or that they adopt 2 cats from our group when choosing a kitten under the age of 7 months. After the completion of this process, arrangements will be made for the cat to be picked up by you or to be delivered to you by the foster parent.
