The mission of Sweet Maine Coon Kittens is to use no-kill principles and education to save cats’ lives through rescue, adoption, spay/neuter services and community programs.

Vision Statement

To be the industry leader in ending euthanasia to control animal population and eliminate pet homelessness.

Core Values

JB Sweet Maine Kittens believes:

Every animal and human at JB kittens home is an individual being with personality, feelings, intrinsic worth and value. As such, they will be treated with respect and care in a non-judgmental, safe environment. We will always exist as a 501(c)(3) no-kill organization and strive to find homes for every adoptable, treatable and recoverable cat we take. Community volunteers are a vital part of our success and we acknowledge and celebrate their contributions. Affordable sterilization, community education and trap / neuter / vaccinate / return are proven methods to stop euthanasia as a means of population control for companion animals. We will not adopt out an animal before sterilization. We will not euthanize an animal except in the case of illness, injury or other condition from which they cannot recover, and then only by lethal injection. Partnering, collaborating and advocating with other organizations and government agencies increases our ability to benefit these animals and save lives.

The Cat Connection is an almost all-volunteer (one employee) 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is: to rescue stray and abandoned cats and find loving homes for them through our foster and adoption programs, to help decrease the local homeless cat population through our Trap-Neuter-Return-Maintain program, and to provide resources to help people in our community retain and care for their cats.
