Maine Coon and Domestic Long Hair Cats Available for Adoption

MARCH 2026


PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BELOW. IT WILL ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS. If you still have questions after, we are happy to respond through email.


It is a long read and a long adoption process. Please understand we are ensuring that our babies go to great homes, and we don't know you personally (yet). Understand that this is an adoption of a beautiful little soul that deserves the absolute best life.


The average lifespan of a cat is 13 to 20 years. Some cats even live into their thirties, although this is far less common. So don't let that discourage you from adopting an adult cat! Rescue mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old.


BAILEY NUNE her mom ANGELA LOPEZ and her siblings (LUCY CHEN-JOHN NOLAN-NYLA HARPER) were saved from a horrible hoarding case in Rialto , California. The rescue that was fixing all the cats reached out for us to help ANGELA LOPEZ and her kittens.


Meet BAILEY NUNE – A Sweet Maine Coon Tabby Looking for Her Forever Home!


BAILEY NUNE is a beautiful young Maine Coon Tabby with a gentle spirit and a heart full of potential. She may be a bit shy at first, but with a little time and patience, you’ll see the sweet and loving side of this precious girl.


BAILEY NUNE’s story began outside a home in Rialto, California, where she was living as an outdoor cat. Despite her beginnings, she’s proven to be a resilient and sweet soul who craves love and attention from those she trusts. While she’s still adjusting to the indoor life, she’s come a long way and is eager to find a family who will give her the space and care she needs to continue flourishing.


BAILEY NUNE is a bit on the shy side, but she’s not one to shy away from a bit of affection. She’ll allow gentle pets, although sometimes she might give a little hiss as a way of saying “I’m still warming up to you!” Don’t worry, though—there’s no swatting, just a little verbal warning as she gets used to her new surroundings. Once she’s comfortable, her trust grows quickly, and you’ll see her begin to show more of her loving, playful side.


One thing BAILEY NUNE absolutely adores is wet food—she’ll gladly purr and enjoy her meal with delight. Scratchers are another favorite, and she’ll happily take out any frustration on them, leaving your furniture safe and sound! She’s also a fan of toys and enjoys chasing and batting at anything that moves, bringing a lot of energy and fun to her environment.


BAILEY NUNE will thrive in a calm, patient home where she can take her time adjusting at her own pace. She would do best in a quieter environment, perhaps with another feline friend who can help her feel more at ease, though she’d also be happy as the only pet where she can soak up all the attention.


If you’re looking for a sweet and unique companion who just needs a little time to trust, BAILEY NUNE may be the perfect match. Her affectionate and playful nature is just waiting to shine in a loving forever home. Could you be the one to help her find her happy place?
