My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Maple is a sweet, gentle kitten who’s been blossoming in foster care. She started out shy, but with time and patience she’s grown much more relaxed and curious. Maple enjoys playing with toys, exploring her space, and zooming around at night like a proper kitten. She’s not quite as treat-motivated as her sister, but she’ll happily come over for snacks—and she even accepts soft head scratches.
In foster, Maple has been doing great with her litter box and routines, and she’s learning that people can be pretty nice. She’s also been gently introduced to an adult resident cat and is making steady progress, showing she may do well with a calm, cat-savvy companion. Maple will do best in a quiet, patient home that will let her continue building confidence at her own pace and may even love a feline companion! With a little time and understanding, this shy girl is sure to become a loving and playful companion.
If you are interested in adopting Maple, please email ruthjudson@hotmail.com to arrange an initial meet and greet with the pet’s foster parent or a staff member. They will reply to you within 24-48 hours.
