My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Hi! I’m Mao — and if you’re wondering whether I’m as friendly as I look, the answer is absolutely yes. I adore people. Truly. If you walk into the room, I’m already on my way over to say hello before you’ve even had a chance to sit down.

I’m the kind of cat who believes attention is a two-way street: you give me a little, and I give you a whole lot back. Head bumps, purrs, leaning into your hand — I’m all about it. I don’t hang back or wait to be invited; I trot right up with my tail high, ready for affection and hoping you’re ready too.

I have an easygoing vibe wherever I go. Whether you’re working, relaxing, or just passing through, I’m happy to be part of your day.

If you’re looking for a sweet, sociable companion who never misses a chance to brighten your mood, I’m your guy.

Estimated Birthdate:  1/26/2022

Likes:  Being around people and getting head scratches.

Dislikes:  Being ignored.
