Meet Mama!
This beautiful girl has earned her name the hard way. Mama was abandoned at the shelter with her four tiny babies but two of them did not make it, left to fend for herself. After all she's been through, it's no surprise that she's a little cautious but behind those watchful eyes is a heart that wants to trust again. At around 2 years old, Mama is now spayed, up to date on vaccines, and fully litterbox trained. She's done raising her little ones and is finally ready for a life where she gets to be the one who's cared for. Mama may need a little time to feel safe, but with patience and love, she'll blossom into a loyal, quiet companion. She's the kind of cat who will curl up near you once she knows she's truly home. If you're ready to show Mama what it means to be loved and and safe, call 910-259-7022 or visit penderhumane.org to submit an adoption application (under the “Animals” tab). Applications can be emailed to penderhumane@yahoo.com.
She’s come a long way—now she just needs someone to believe in her.
