My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

🚀 Meet Maverick – Your Purrfect Wing-Cat! 🐾

Hello, furiends! Are you searching for your next best buddy, sidekick, and all-around purrfect pal? Well, look no further—Maverick is ready to take off straight into your heart! ❤️

This 2-year-old street survivor came to Scruffy Paws in rough shape, needing medical care and dental work. Now, after lots of love and rest, he’s back to full strength and ready for his forever home!

✨ Maverick’s Top Traits:
🐾 Certified Hugger – Expect paws on shoulders and the sweetest kitty hugs!
🐾 Face-Smashing, Drooling Purr Machine – He LOVES attention and will make sure you know it.
🐾 Escape Artist Extraordinaire – Will bolt for adventure if doors are left open—so keep an eye out! He has also learned how to open certain types of door handles.
🐾 Vocal Attention-Seeker – This boy will let you know when it’s time for cuddles.
🐾 Champion Wrestler – He loves to play hard and needs a confident, playful cat sibling if he’s joining a multi-cat home.
🐾 Toy Fanatic – Keep the toy stash stocked because Maverick never turns down playtime!

🍽️ Special Diet, No Problem!
Maverick has Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), which is easily managed with a hypoallergenic prescription food diet. To help his new family, we’re happy to supply his special food for the first six months. If you have another cat, meal times should be separate—this boy is a foodie and won’t hesitate to steal an extra bite!

🏡 The Ideal Home for Maverick:
✔️ A family that understands his playful, energetic nature
✔️ Older children who can handle his big personality and love for hugs
✔️ Another confident and friendly cat (no timid kitties—Maverick is a bit of a boss!)
✔️ A home that keeps doors secure—he’s a curious guy who might try to sneak out!
✔️ We’re unsure how he’d do with dogs or other animals.

Maverick is beyond ready to find his furever home. Could that be with you?

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process is detailed and takes time because we strive to match each adopter with the perfect cat while ensuring our cats find the best possible homes.

Please be sure to read a cat's full bio before applying! We do our best to keep bios updated as we learn more about each cat or as circumstances change. The bio is the best place to find the most current and important information about their needs, personality, and ideal home.
