About Raine (Domestic Long Hair) in Wheaton, IL 60189

Raine is waiting for you at Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF-IL) in Wheaton, IL 60189. Hi! My name is Raine, and my foster mom says I am just the most beautiful and sweet Maine Coon mix cat she has ever fostered. Not only am I beautiful, with the biggest eyes you have ever seen, and with the softest fur, I am also very, very gentle. I don’t use my claws or even love bite though I will give you kitty kisses. As soon as you start to pet me I roll over so you can pet my belly. The best is when you pet my cheeks, ears, and under my chin too. But what I truly love the most, is being brushed. As you can imagine, with my beautiful fur, it does need to be rushed occasionally. Luckily, I think it is just the best and please feel free to brush all of me, ears, head, back, tummy, tail, etc. I might initially present as shy, quietly observing, but just call me over and here I come. Not sure what my back story is, but before I came to my foster house, I didn’t talk. I purred, but was silent, just twilling when it was time for my kittens to eat. My foster mom kept talking to me even though she was met with silence. Finally, after being with her for about 7 weeks, I uttered my 1st meow in response to her greeting. She was so excited! Now, I do talk, still quietly, and my foster mom thinks once I’m in my forever home, I’ll become more and more vocal. I like being picked up, carried around and held. I’m also starting to like being a lap kitty though I still prefer just lying next to you. I think it’s a little bit like my talking, just things I have to get used to, but once I do, I’m all in. Since I do love to be petted, I will nuzzle you as my way of saying ‘I love you’. Even though I’m only around two years old, I don’t think I’ve had much in the way of toys or people playing with me. I do see my kittens actively playing with wands and other toys, having a blast, so that too might be something I would get used to. I’ am a fan of cardboard scratchers. I do like to watch birdie sh
