About Maple

Maple has an incredible story. Her earliest memories involve living behind a Lowes, where she navigated forklifts while scavenging bits of food. A compassionate employee helped rescue her, leading to her arrival at a loving foster home. Maple's transformation has been remarkable; she used to chirp sadly when left alone but now thrives with other cats, enjoying their company far more than that of humans. Though a bit shy, she finds comfort lounging with her feline friends and will come over for head scratches when coaxed. It’s clear that Maple needs a home with other cats, as she would not do well as the only one. She's spayed, vaccinated, and house trained, ready to find her forever family. Make a trip to meet her at the shelter from Wednesday to Sunday, noon to 3.
