About Mary

Mary is a seven-year-old grey tabby who’s ready for her next chapter filled with the understanding and love she deserves. Rescued from a local animal control facility, she’s looking for a safe space where her curious spirit can thrive. She enjoys head pets, playing with wand toys, and lounging by the window watching the birds. Once she feels secure, Mary can form a strong bond and may find comfort curling up next to her person or sleeping nearby at night. This beautiful Dilute Tortoiseshell cat needs an experienced, patient adopter who will respect her boundaries. She can become overstimulated with too much handling, so recognizing her signals is key. Mary thrives in a quiet, adult-only home where she can be the sole pet, allowing her the space to feel safe. If you believe you can be the calm, observant presence Mary has been waiting for, please reach out to NAWS. She needs someone willing to learn her language and let trust unfold at her own pace. Give her a chance to choose you and truly experience what it means to be home for good. Ready to make a difference? Apply today!
