Name: Mama Age: 5 years old Weight: 14 lbs Gender: Female Breed: Tabby-calico mix Coat Length: Short Color: Brown striped tabby with some orange and white spots Dog friendly: Unknown Cat friendly: Yes, slow introductions please Child friendly: Older respectful children  Litter Box Trained: Yes Temperament: Reserved, Sweet, Affectionate, Independent, Easy-going, Well mannered  Energy Level: Moderate Adoption Fee: $190+tax To adopt, go to:   www.mendingspirits.org/apply-to-adopt.html From the Foster Family:  Mama is a beautiful former feral stray who once lived the tough street life, but you’d never guess it now—She's living the good life and ready to find her forever family! Mama was originally part of a TNR plan, but was given the chance to try life indoors, and she surprised everyone—she decided she much preferred being a house cat! Mama proved that even a stray cat can dream of something more. She’s chosen the warmth of a safe home with cozy naps, the kindness of gentle hands and chin scratches, and the love she had been missing all along. Throughout her time with us, Mama has blossomed into a sweet, affectionate house cat and companion who just needed someone to believe in her and give her the chance to leave her old life behind. She adores pets and attention, but she is also a cat who knows her own boundaries—when respected, she rewards you with deep trust and love that feels extra special knowing how far she’s come. Mama isn’t a great fit for small children, and would do best in a patient home with adults or older children who understand her journey and honor her need for space when she asks for it.  Mama has shown that even the most independent stray cats can learn to trust, love, and thrive indoors. Could you be the one to give this special girl her forever home?   About Me:  Hi, I'm Mama!  I’ve worked hard in my life—I raised a few litters of kittens on the streets, kept them safe the best I could, and made sure they had their chance. Now, my days of being a mama are over, and it’s finally my turn to be the one cared for and loved.  Let me tell you a little about me: I love sparkly balls and toy mice—they’re my favorite treasures. I’m perfectly happy chilling on the couch, bird-watching out the window, or keeping an eye on my foster siblings while they play. (If they start fighting, don’t worry—I step in like the responsible mama I am!) Feather wands? Yes, please! Playtime is my jam.  Crunchy treats are my weakness. You’ll win me over fast with those. I’m also a good communicator. If you’re pushing my boundaries, I’ll let you know—I believe honesty is important! I even “talk back” to my foster mom with little chirps, and chips to say hello. And while I do like my space sometimes, I also love pets and attention and will happily soak it all up when I’m in the mood. I'm slowly learning that my foster dad's lap is a safe and cozy place. I’d do best in a calm home with adults or older kids who respect me for who I am—a playful, affectionate, independent girl who’s ready to love and be loved. So… what do you say? Got a couch, some crunchy treats, and maybe a few sparkly balls just for me? Then I think we’d be a perfect match.  December 6, 2025, 9:10 pm

When I first got rescued, I was a little scared—but not anymore! Now I’m brave, playful, and always ready to chase anything that moves (especially toy balls). I can be a bit mischievous, but in the cutest way. I love curling up for naps with my sister Lilo or any cat who will let me snuggle—though I’m still working on convincing the older cats here that we should all be best friends. I’m a friendly tabby girl who loves to play hard and cuddle even harder. December 6, 2025, 9:31 pm

Toofy loves his toys and enjoys romping around with the other cats—his foster home often turns into a mini Daytona 500! He gets along wonderfully with other cats, the two labs in his foster home, and the granddaughters. If you’re looking for an affectionate, playful, and loyal lap kitty, Toothless is your guy! October 29, 2025, 7:37 pm
