Our Mission and Values at J and K’s Midwest Maine Coons
At J and K’s Midwest Maine Coons, our commitment extends beyond quality and breed standards; it encompasses a heartfelt dedication to animal welfare and community support. Our mission is rooted in compassion, service, and the belief that every animal deserves a loving home.
Giving Back to the Community
We actively participate in the adoption and rescue of animals in need. Our philosophy is simple: we ensure an adopted or rescued animal is in our care for every purchased animal that finds a home with us. This 1:1 ratio reflects our higher purpose of caring for animals and the community. We have two additional adopted companions—a pair of bearded dragons—and we’ve also welcomed a rooster named Nugget, aka Nuggy, who needed a new home after his family could no longer keep him.
Caring for Working Cats
We take pride in adopting from the Animal Rescue League working cat program, focusing on stray or feral cats that are often overlooked. These resilient cats may not be accustomed to human interaction, but we believe they deserve a chance at a better life. We are thrilled to report that all four working cats thrive on our farm. They enjoy access to fresh fountain water, heated huts in the winter, regular wet feedings, and the care they need to stay healthy, such as deworming, flea/tick treatments, and veterinarian visits.
A Loving Environment
Our commitment goes beyond basic care. We’ve created a nurturing environment with large timber cat trees made from our backyard, allowing them to lounge in the comfort of their pole barn. Through patience and kindness, we’ve successfully tamed three of our working cats, who now enjoy the affection of human interaction—allowing us to pet, hold, and cuddle them.
A Servant’s Heart
At J and K’s Midwest Maine Coons, the care of these animals is our highest priority. We wear this responsibility with the utmost servitude and gratitude. Each day, we are reminded of the privilege it is to provide a loving and safe haven for our furry, feathered, and scaly friends.
As we continue to grow, our mission remains steadfast: nurture and celebrate the lives of all animals in our care, no matter where they come from. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time. Thank you for supporting our journey and believing in a world where every animal is valued and loved.
