About Maxine

Maxine is a two-year-old domestic short hair tabby with a soft brown coat, a white chest, and tiny white "mittens" on her paws. She’s on the smaller side—picking her up feels like holding a little cloud. Her calm presence and big, expressive eyes pull you in right away. Maxine can be a bit reserved at first, especially with new people or in unfamiliar spaces, but once she settles, she transforms into a warm, affectionate companion. She’s known for her gentle head butts when she wants attention and turns into a purring machine during petting sessions. Maxine thrives in quiet, patient homes where she’s given space to build confidence. She makes a lovely, low-key addition for someone looking for a sweet, loving cat who shows her affection in soft, simple ways. All rescue pets are spayed or neutered and vaccinated before adoption.
