Female Cat, Domestic Short Hair
Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (Short Coat)
Description:
Want a goofy cuddlebug for snuggles and laughs? Then Big Mary is your gal! Big Mary is the sweetest little cuddlebug, and will nudge your hands and face for pets endlessly. Her constant purr will help lull you to sleep, and her little chirps will make your heart gush. She loves attention, and will run in front of everyone and roll over onto her back asking for belly rubs (which she actually likes!). She loves anyone who walks through the door, and immediately flops in front of their feet asking for pets. She will follow you around the house, rub against your legs, and snuggle up in your lap to get as close as possible. She is super social and makes friends with anyone. Big Mary uses her litter box perfectly, loves both dry and wet food, drinks out of her water bowl plenty, and only occasionally scratches at the couch. She loves looking out the window at the happenings outside, and chasing toy mice around the house. She is such a goofball when she gets her zoomies, and has even started to explore what it's like under the covers at night. She is so social and easygoing, and would likely fit well into any family. She does occasionally play bite when she gets frisky, but has never broken the skin and is clearly not trying to hurt, but she might do better with slightly older kids for that reason. I imagine she would do very well living with other FeLV+ cats and dogs, but cannot say for sure as I have not seen it. She is truly such a wonderful, low key, goofy, snuggly kitty, and anyone would be lucky to have her join their family! **Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) is a virus that is specific to cats that weakens a cat’s immune system. Cats with FeLV can live normal, happy, healthy lives—but with a shorter life expectancy than cats without FeLV. At PAWS, we believe every pet deserves to live out their life in a loving home for whatever time they have. We hope you'll consider opening your home to this special kitty! For more information feel free to check out the FeLV FAQs we have available on our website!** FeLV+ adopters are also eligible for an Amazon gift card after adoption! Our staff can let you know more during/after bringing your new pet home! Age: 4 years How I came to PAWS: found stray Animal ID#: A57238 I am currently being cared for in a foster home!
