About Maria

Maria is our delightful Manx baby girl! Almost her entire litter of six was born with either no tails or nub tails, which somehow makes them even cuter. Maria has no tail at all, which gives her a unique charm. She has Manx Cat Syndrome, but her case isn't severe. Vet X-rays show she’s in great shape overall. While she uses the litter box regularly, she may occasionally have a small accident outside it due to her muscle development. We're hopeful this will improve over time, making her a "special needs" kitty. Personality-wise, Maria is a total sweetheart! She's incredibly cuddly and affectionate, enjoying lap time and purring like a motorboat. Playtime is a joy for her, as she is easily entertained by any toy. Food? She loves it and is very motivated by both toys and treats. We’re eager to find her a warm, loving home, ideally with fellow cats, as she adores her furry companions. A home with cat experience would be best, as would one willing to manage the occasional "mess". (The mess is manageable; it's usually solid!) Let’s find Maria the perfect family she deserves.
