MARY is a 1 1/2 year old domestic short hair cat taken in with her litter of 6 kittens on 5/29/25. Seldom seen in the free roam, she can be elusive, which makes getting to know her difficult. A sweet and doting momma, Mary has the same affinity towards other cats and people. The difference is that her affections flow more easily to her feline friends than to people. A bit like a slow cooker, Mary adjusts gradually to new situations and relationships. When introduced to the free roam, she took up residence in a cubby at floor level. It took a month before she migrated upwards to the cubby space directly above and another month before she moved into a wall cubby as her refuge. As her trajectory rose, we also saw her spending more time among the other cats. Occasionally, she'll lay proudly stretched out, but mostly she can be spied rubbing against or scratching sisal posts or playing with a standing toy. It's taken some time, but she loves being petted and just last week, was able to be coaxed out of her cubby. Mary really wants to interact with us, she just needs to take it slow. She escaped from the free roam cattery into the ceiling tiles for a few days. Successful at avoiding the trap, Mary found her way into the meet and greet where 2 pups are living. She curled up with them! Mary definitely does well with dogs and also with other cats. Mary's adoption fee is $70 and helps cover the cost of her spay, vaccinations, worming, monthly flea and heart worm preventive, FIV/FeLV tests, microchip and care while at CCHS.
