*This animal is located at our same-day adoption center partner, St. Louis Park PetSmart. Please contact this location prior to visiting to ensure this animal is still available. A paper adoption application will be completed on site so please do not submit an online adoption application. For more information on adopting from one of our adoption center partners, please visit our Adoption Center Animals page. Maya is a gorgeous long-haired tortie with brains, confidence, and just the right amount of chaos. She's clever, curious, and always seems to be plotting something, especially if there's a spring toy involved. Once she came out of her shell, her goofy and playful personality really started to shine. Maya loves being up high, whether that's perched on a cat tree or riding around on your shoulders supervising your day. She's silly, smart, and guaranteed to keep you entertained. ---- Want to adopt a kitten? We highly recommend you consider bringing home two instead of one! Adopting kittens in pairs has been proven to be beneficial for cats' emotional and behavioral well-being and greatly improves the likelihood of long-term adopter happiness as a result. Adopting more than one kitten also reduces the risk of "Single Kitten Syndrome" (also known as Tarzan Syndrome), a symptom of under-socialization during a kitten's most formative weeks. Kittens who are under-socialized may develop aggressive tendencies toward both other animals and humans as they grow, creating lifelong behavioral issues for owners.
