Firecracker, or Cracker, was born in the spring of 2003.   After a nerve-wracking kittenhood as an outdoor cat so inquisitive it's a wonder he survived. He moved into a foster-home for his own safety. He's still inquisitive, lively, independent, and increasingly handsome and affectionate as he matures.

As a youngster, Cracker had a chronic upper respiratory infection.  It is now controlled by daily doses of lysine (from the nearest health food store or supermarket), mixed with his meals so that administering it is painless.  Although one veterinarian thought his sniffles were contagious, he hasn't infected his housemates.  Cracker tested negative for feline leukemia and AIDS and is current on vaccinations.  He has always liked dogs and people and has learned to like most other cats.

Firecracker will be placed as an indoor cat only, and an application is required. To get an application form or for more information, please e-mail mmgrow@yahoo.com or call 207-968-2121. There is no adoption fee, but donations are appreciated to help care for other stray cats.
