Tail-waggers
Maya is an approximately 21⁄2year old, spayed lilac calico. She was rescued by PALS late last year, along with her three kittens. Maya was such an awesome mom, not only did she dote on her own kittens, but, she even became a surrogate mom to another kitten that PALS rescued who was in desperate need of a mother’s love and attention.
Maya is a very friendly and outgoing cat, and she loves to be around people; she’s super loving and enjoys being the center of attention. She has a spunky side, and she loves exploring new surroundings, finding the highest point she can in each room and watching the goings-on around her. Most of all, though, Maya likes to find a nice comfortable spot to curl up in for a nice nap and some afternoon rays. If this sweetheart of a cat sounds like the perfect fit for your home, please come in and meet her!
