Ragamuffin kittens & cats in Fremont, California

🩵 Meet MaQiu – A Gentle Soul Ragdoll is Looking for His Forever Home 🩵 MaQiu’s journey began in China, where he was rescued and arrived in the U.S. this past May in hopes of finding the loving family he deserves. Shortly after arriving, we discovered that MaQiu has epilepsy (seizures). After working closely with our veterinarian and completing several examinations, his seizures are now well controlled with medication. He takes his medicine every 12 hours, and thankfully he’s incredibly easy to medicate. His monthly medication costs approximately $35 (Phenobarbital and Keppra), and he will need routine blood work once a year to monitor his health. Aside from his seizures, MaQiu is an absolutely wonderful cat. He has one of the sweetest, gentlest personalities we’ve ever met. He’s independent enough to entertain himself, yet he always wants to be close to his people. When you come home or wake up in the morning, he’ll often be the first one waiting to greet you, MaQiu is curious about everything around him. He loves watching birds and people through the window or screen door and can happily spend hours observing the outside world. He’s also playful and can keep himself busy with toys, especially his favorite—a large wool felt wand toy and a blue stuffed rabbit. He gets along well with other cats and respectful dogs, although he may feel intimidated by dogs that are overly energetic or rough. When he feels comfortable with you, MaQiu becomes incredibly affectionate. He loves gentle chin scratches and forehead rubs, and sometimes he’ll gently nibble your fingers or legs as his adorable way of asking you to play. He may be a little reserved with physical affection at first, but once he trusts you, he’ll actively seek your attention and happily cuddle beside you. Like many cats, MaQiu isn’t a fan of baths or being picked up. He’ll let you know with a little grumble if he’s not happy, but he has never scratched or bitten because of it. With patience and gentle handling, bathing and nail trims are surprisingly easy. One bonus? MaQiu isn’t much of a jumper, so he’s much less likely to knock things off shelves or climb onto high furniture!
