'The neighborhood she's in is known for people dumping their unwanted pets there': Girlfriend finds a meowjestic Maine Coon cat abandoned all alone and immediately knows that she has to save him

Adopt, don't shop. That has always been the ICHC motto. There are so many cats out there that need homes, and each and every one of of them is capable of being the best pet that you have ever had, if only given a chance. But… no matter how often we say it, some people still buy cats, and that will never change. Because some breeds are just too ameowzing to look away from. And one of them is the meowjestic Maine coon cat.

Maine Coon cats are expensive. People are willing to pay a lot of money to get their hands on one, so a lot of people breed Maine Coon cats just for that. They are exceptionally large, fluffy and intelligent. We get it. We really do. But our morals would not allow us to buy a cat for thousands of dollars when there are so many cats in need on the streets. All of which is why we were so shocked to see a couple find a Maine Coon abandoned on the street.
