About Maya

Maya is a beautiful tabby with a medium frame and a short coat. She's a gentle soul who takes her time to adjust to new environments. A slow introduction is key when it comes to dogs; she prefers those who are indifferent to her. Luckily, Maya doesn’t mind other friendly cats as long as they respect her space. This affectionate cat needs time to warm up, which can take months. When you adopt her, the team at Grass Roots Rescue will share tips that helped her settle into her foster home. With patience, you’ll see her relax, lean her head toward you during feeding time, and eventually shower you with affectionate head bumps and loud purrs that might drown out your greetings. Real love often requires time and care, and Maya is well worth the wait. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
