About Maybelle

Maybelle, also called Mab, is a sweet domestic short hair tabby who thrives on spending time with her people. She’s partial to windows with views—especially ones with feathered visitors. When dinner’s on the way, she gets so excited she does a little bouncy, skipping run that’s impossible not to smile at. Loyal to her core, Maybelle naps in the sun but always checks up on her humans, often pausing to make perfect biscuits. If you have a warm lap or a cozy corner, she’ll happily claim it for her next nap. She’s on the smaller side and prefers a quieter home—rowdy animals make her seek out higher ground to survey from above. Maybelle would do best solo or with another gentle, mature cat. Gain her trust and she may even let you rub her belly. She does have a fat nodule on her belly (just cosmetic, from an old hernia), but it doesn’t affect her or her love for a good brushing. She’s not picky about food, and feather wand toys are her favorite entertainment. Click apply to start the adoption process.
