About Maelle

Maelle is a quirky, cordial kitten who’s a fan of feline friends but not so much the people in her orbit. She’ll play with other cats when the coast is clear and spends the rest of her time stashing herself behind a chair or inside a cozy cat tree box. She’s more likely to swat than cuddle if you reach out—her way of keeping her boundaries known. There’s no aggression here; Maelle simply prefers to keep her distance and watch the world from a safe spot. She makes a great choice as a quiet roommate cat or a sweet buddy for a gentle, mild-mannered companion. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
