About Maia

Meet Maia. This adorable baby girl might initially let her sister Elara take the lead, but give her a bit of patience, and you’ll uncover a truly affectionate companion. Maia tends to be more reserved in unfamiliar situations, yet once she feels comfortable, her loving nature emerges. You can expect her to roll around at your feet, enjoy enthusiastic rubs, and delight you with her tiny mews and the cutest biscuit-making sessions. Maia is also quite the athlete! She loves scaling cat trees and scratching posts, then racing through tunnels like she’s training for the Kitten Olympics. Elara is her favorite playmate, and their bond is something beautiful. While both sisters are still gaining confidence around loud noises and sudden movements, they become bolder each day. Maia relies heavily on Elara for security, often becoming distressed if she can't find her sister. For this reason, we strongly recommend adopting both girls together. These sisters coexist harmoniously with other friendly animals, including cats and dogs. Maia may need some extra time to adjust, but once you win her over, expect lots of purrs, cuddles, and tiny biscuits. If your heart has room for two, Elara is right here waiting for her forever home too! Click apply to start the adoption process.
