Maria

My story

My Foster Writes: Maria is a sweet and quiet cat who takes her time to trust-but once she does, she's all love. She's shy at first and prefers to make the first move. When she's ready, she'll gently (but persistently!) tap your arm or leg to ask for pets.She adores cuddles before or after sleep and will sometimes surprise you by curling up right beside you. Maria enjoys her own space, but when the mood strikes, she'll come looking for affection on her own terms.She's easy to care for-non-picky, tidy with her litter box, and gentle in nature. Maria is looking for a calm, loving home where she can feel safe and shine in her own quiet way. Could that be with you?Maria tolerates attention and petting but appears to be moderately fearful or stressed in the shelter. She will likely need time to warm up to her new home. We recommend that he go to a home with some cat experience preferred AND be well counseled in fearful cat behavior. Due to the behavior shown, she may not be a great fit for young children. Any home with older children prepared to adopt this cat should conduct a thorough interaction and endeavor to monitor this cat around their children to prevent these behaviors from being reinforced. Primary Color: Gray Weight: 8.2 Age: 6yrs 10mths 1wks
