About Maple

Meet Maple, a stunning young cat with a personality that’s as vibrant as her appearance. This 1-year-old tortoiseshell beauty has opinions, and she’s not shy about expressing them. Recently, she found herself in a challenging situation that her former owner didn’t understand. They contemplated euthanasia when a veterinary team, recognizing her spirit, stepped in and facilitated her surrender instead. Maple is a confident and independent soul who requires a cat-savvy adopter willing to respect her boundaries. She’s not a monster; she simply wants to be treated as the unique individual she is. Underneath all that tortitude lies a gorgeous mix of caramel, chocolate, black, and copper in her coat, paired with mesmerizing green eyes that steal the show. While she may not be suitable for everyone, Maple is perfect for someone fluent in "Tortie." If you understand that cats thrive on consent and individual personalities, Maple might just be the companion you’ve been looking for. Ready to meet her? Click apply to start the adoption process.
