Mazarek has grown up in the shelter and has found a comfort zone there. He’s a striking black cat with a short, glossy coat that always looks well-kept. Mazarek prefers attention on his terms—he’ll let you know when it’s time for pets, and he enjoys having his independence respected. Adaptable but with a clear sense of what he wants, Mazarek gets along with other cats. He’s best for someone who appreciates a cat with a mind of his own and who values calm consistency over constant cuddling. By the way, with a birthday on April 29, Mazarek is a Taurus—expect some of that classic cat stubbornness, too. Click apply to start the adoption process.
