About Mabel

Miss Mabel is the epitome of sweet. She’s got a real knack for striking up a conversation—vocal and chatty, always ready to share her thoughts. Catnip and scratchpad toys get her playing, but she loves attention from people even more. One of her favorite quirks is sneaking into cabinets and curling up inside for her afternoon nap. After six years in a home, Mabel was returned to the rescue under tough circumstances. She’s bounced back with her gentle, easygoing demeanor, looking for a permanent place to land. She’s familiar with other cats, but she hasn’t spent time with dogs or small children. Given her calm nature, she may adjust to a laid-back dog or older kids. Mabel comes with some extra fluff—she’s overweight but her recent vet checkup was excellent, and she’s already making progress on slimming down. Click apply to start the adoption process.
