Adeline - Maine Coon and Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Ocala, Florida

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi I'm Adeline,

I'm from a family of five, but after eight years in the same home, everything in our world changed at once. Our person loved us, but life circumstances shifted in a way none of us could control, and we were surrendered together. It was confusing, scary, and heartbreaking. Even though we were frightened, every single one of us tried our best to be brave. During our physical exams — shots, blood work, claw trims, the whole works — we were absolute dolls. Not a single complaint, not a single swipe. Just wide eyes, trembling whiskers, and quiet trust in the hands caring for us.

Whether we stay together or find homes separately, we carry years of love in our hearts and a sweetness that shines through even when we’re scared. Because of our size and long hair we believe we have Maine Coon blood, although I have shorter hair than the rest of my family.

Estimated Birthdate: 3/24/18

Volunteer Update: Adeline has changed from a scared girl who just wanted to hide, to a loving, affectionate girl who wants attention from everyone. She's a big girl but will happily spend time in your lap if you're up for it!
