Meet Maple! The lady of the litter, Maple is 11 weeks old and independent, confident, and perfectly content marching to the beat of her own tiny paws. While her siblings tend to move as a pack, Maple is often off doing her own thing—exploring, observing, or finding the perfect cozy spot to relax. She's proof that being independent doesn't mean being aloof. Maple is completely comfortable entertaining herself but does enjoy others. That said, she has a soft side reserved for those she trusts. She especially enjoys snuggling up with one of her big brothers and has a sweet, affectionate bond with her people. She'll reward gentle affection with happy purrs and seems especially fond of nestling into my warm chin for quiet cuddle sessions when I initiate. Like all of her siblings, Maple has been raised around children and dogs and does beautifully with both. She has a calm, observant nature and tends to take new experiences in stride. Graceful, thoughtful, and just a little bit regal, Maple has the confidence of a queen and the heart of a sweetheart. If you're looking for a kitten who doesn't need to follow the crowd and values quality over quantity when it comes to companionship, Maple may be your perfect match.
