Hi Tracie,
I am inquiring about the Maine Coon cat you had on Martha TV show today. Is it for sale? Our Maine Coon passed away and it is a sad story. We adopted him from the local shelter, SPCA. We have a beautiful farm in New York and would love another big friend.
Thank You,
Gemma
Hi Gem – I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s so hard to lose the four-legged beauties who share our lives.
NO! Tigger was not “for sale” (he’s actually the cat of the actor Chazz Palmintieri, whose beautiful wife Gianna brought him all the way into New York City for the show — they are clients of Dr Marty Goldstein, whose radio show is on Martha’s channel on Monday nights).
None of the kitties were for sale, they are all beloved family members, including Martha’s new cat Frost, who she just adopted from the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons. We advocate that people find a pet for themselves by first going to www.Petfinder.com. Put in your zip code and (in your case write in Maine Coon cat) and you will see any shelters near you that have a Maine Coon for adoption. Over 30% of all animals at shelters are purebred so the chance of finding what you’re looking for is pretty good.
Let me know what you find – and send me a photo to post on my website. Call into the show any Wednesday night with any questions. My website www.TracieHotchner.com tells you all you need to know.
Tracie
