Our Cats
Most of our cats come from hoarders, abusers, and/or feral colonies, and are not typically at a stage to be adopted. Many require extensive rehabilitation which can take up to two years. We also take care of many long term cats that may be battling illnesses and they are also not considered adoptable. We have a program created for these cats that connects them with people. You can, however, help support the work we do by sponsoring one of our permanent cat residents and making a monthly donation starting at $10.00 and up–with this you will receive monthly updates and photos about your cat of choice! You can cancel at any time. To sponsor one of our permanent residents, click on the box below their bio! If you want to adopt a cat, please check out our adoption program.
Louie
Louie came to us from one of our partners in Southern Maine. Because of his striking, and frankly, majestic appearance, everyone wanted to take Louie home. Louie, however, had other ideas. Not one to be controlled by lowly humans, Louie is not afraid of letting his displeasure be known, often by pooping outside his box, on chairs, on towers, anywhere he can to let you know he is not pleased with his current conditions. Once he was taken off his anxiety medications and allowed to run free like the lion he is, we discovered a major attitude adjustment. We held our breath and let him free roam. After two days exploring the property (and his new kingdom) in the heat, defying expectations as he burned off seemingly endless energy, he is now a permanent free roaming happy cat that gets along quite nicely with all the other cats. He needs daily grooming (like the king he is) due to all the debris that sticks to him from his outdoor adventures, and we still lock him up at night for his own safety. We are greeted in the morning with his protest, and dutifully clean up after him. Some cats just want to live life on their own terms. Become a sponsor to Louie today to help support this lion as he roams free!
Emberline
Emberline came to us from a hoarding site in West Paris. When her caretaker passed away, many cats from the site moved throughout the neighborhood and found other caretakers. Emberline, however, stayed at the home she had claimed as her own and was slowly starving without her caretaker there. When she arrived here, her body condition was a 2 out of 10. Part of her tail had fallen off, and she is most likely facing the possibility of a full amputation in the near future. While Emberline is not very social, she is slowly gaining her strength and finds comfort here at Spirit’s Place with her new feral friends. Become her sponsor today and help this sweet girl on her road to recovery!
Angel
Mystic
Mystic came to us traumatized and aggressive, labeled as an “attack cat”, one who lashed out at men and other people. We don’t know what her real history is, but once she was given time and allowed to decompress, she has shown herself to be a lovely, friendly cat that enjoys her other cat friends. Still sometimes easily startled, she is settling into her home here at Spirit’s Place and embracing the peace she’s found here. Consider becoming her sponsor today to help this girl keep living the quiet life!
Pretty Boy
Pretty Boy came to us from Greenville Maine. He was a neutered community cat living his best life in the Greenville Community, when he, and 5 other community cats, lost the only home they’d ever known when the bookstore where they lived for years was sold. Unfortunately, many community cats are often removed from their homes and territories when these shifts happen, most with no place to go. Thankfully, Pretty Boy found his way to us, and is living here at Spirit’s Place! Become his sponsor and help this Pretty Boy keep living his best life!
