Mama Cat

My story

Gentle, Cuddly, Super Sweet Senior Mama Cat’s little white boots have done some walking. Now she is more than ready to put an end to her travels and cozy up with a welcoming and warm family. Mama may be a little shy at first, but she just can’t resist a kind voice and the lure of pets. Offer them to her and she’s quick to trust and, before you know it, she’ll settle in for a cuddle with her purr motor gently cranking. She is blissfully happy when she gets head and chin scritches, finds a warm lap or is given treats (Temptations and Churu are her favorite!). Being a kitty of a certain age, she may doze off mid-petting session, still purring away as she does. Mama is an outspoken lady who knows what she wants and insists on getting it! She doesn’t hesitate to demand pets, but will switch her meows to purrs when she gets them. She likes hanging out with her humans, whether it’s sitting next to you or in your lap. She will tolerate being held for a few minutes before she’s ready to get back down. Mama doesn’t hold back her feelings when it’s mealtime. She will loudly and emphatically tell you she’s hungry and that you need to hop to it! Comply with her request asap and she will keep the scolding to a minimum. Mama enjoys the finer things in life and finds bowls to be far too pedestrian. If you have the unmitigated gall to serve her food in a bowl, that is entirely unacceptable and she will go on a hunger strike. All meals must be served on a plate, no exceptions! While many people prefer cats to humans, Mama seems to prefer humans to cats! But, she has been known to tolerate the existence of other kitties in her vicinity and may be able to coexist with cats who aren’t pushy if given a slow introduction. Don’t be deterred by a little hissing at first! She would probably do well with children who will let her snuggle up near them, while also respecting her boundaries. Mama is such an affectionate kitty who deserves to spend her golden years in a peaceful, loving home. She is looking forward to the day she reaches her destination...a forever lap — could it be yours? All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip.
