Meet the enchanting Maria, a vibrant spirit whose journey began in a colony that was cleared in Castle Hayne, NC. This lovely lady is not just a cat; she’s a ray of sunshine! With a heart full of affection 💖 and a playful demeanor that can brighten the dreariest of days 🌞, Maria is all about sharing love and laughter with her humans. Maria is currently in the regressive stage of Feline Leukemia, but let me tell you something—her immune system is a warrior, fighting this battle with courage and grace! Her sweetness shines through, and she’s not contagious. We believe in transparency, so if you’re considering bringing Maria into your life, we highly encourage a talk with your vet as well as the vet who carried out her tests. This gorgeous kitty deserves the best care, and together, you can figure out the path forward. Did we mention that Maria has a best friend named Ella? They’ve both found themselves in this unique situation, and ideally, they would love to stay together in a loving home—preferably one without other cats, so they can continue their peaceful friendship. Imagine how much love and companionship these two could bring to your life! 🐾 Before welcoming this beauty into your home, rest assured that all our cats get age-appropriate vaccinations, are fixed, tested, and microchipped. So, you’re not just adopting; you're making an informed and loving choice for your new family member. Are you ready to experience an abundance of love, laughter, and adventure with Maria? You can’t say no to this bundle of joy! Apply through the Buddy App today to start a new chapter with Maria, and don’t forget to discuss her journey and needs with the vet! 💕🐱
