Why Mary is the one for you:
Mary is a sweet and playful cat who's made wonderful progress since joining her foster home in July. Initially, she was shy, hiding during the day and coming out only at night to play with her toys. But thanks to her love of treats-especially Churu and Temptations-Mary has slowly started to venture out more, spending time near her people, albeit at a bit of a distance.

Today, Mary enjoys laying nearby and will even engage in play for short periods. She loves head and neck scratches but still prefers them from an object like a comb or brush rather than a hand. When she's being combed, she'll happily plop on her side, stretch, purr, and make air biscuits, clearly enjoying the gentle attention.

Though still sensitive to noises like running water, she's shown curiosity rather than fear toward other animals she's seen through a gate. A quiet, patient adopter who understands cat body language and respects her pace would be ideal for Mary. She's a lovely cat with a fun personality, and in a supportive home, she'll continue to blossom and bring joy.
