I wonder what mechanisms could be put in place to increase their awareness so people could adopt the breed they are looking for and also save a life (can we pull on their heartstrings??) I adopted my beautiful Maine Coon as a kitten from our local shelter (this was by chance as I wasn't looking specifically for a Maine Coon but his personality even at 2 months old just drew me in!). Not too long ago a friend was looking to adopt a Maine Coon or Norwegian Forest cat and was looking for breeders when I pointed her to a couple of local rescue organizations that specialize in Maine Coons and/or long hairs. It took a little while to get them connected but she now has a gorgeous and fantastic Norwegian. A 'tail' with a happy ending (yuk yuk).
