My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

👑 Meet Mae: Petite, Playful, and Positively Regal
Mae may be tiny, but her charm is larger than life. This forever-kitten-sized sweetheart is a delightful blend of playful energy, affectionate warmth, and just the right touch of diva flair. She’s the kind of cat who will chase a feather toy with gusto, then pause for a royal pose as if to say, “You may continue admiring me now.”

Mae is incredibly friendly and thrives on human interaction. She’s sweet to the core, but she carries herself with the confidence of a feline who knows she’s royalty in fur. Whether she’s greeting guests or curling up beside you, Mae brings joy and sparkle to every moment.

She’s been exposed to other cats and does well with feline friends who match her vibe. Mae is also okay around dogs, as long as they respect her space and don’t cramp her style. She’d be a great fit in a home with children who are old enough to understand and respect her cues—because even queens need boundaries.

🏡 Ideal Home:
A loving human (or humans) who appreciate a cat with personality

Possibly compatible with other respectful pets

Children who understand gentle interaction

A home that celebrates both playtime and pampered lounging

Mae is ready to rule your heart and your home—with grace, giggles, and a whole lot of love. If you’re looking for a feline companion who’s equal parts snugglebug and superstar, Mae is your girl.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Adoption events are held regularly in the community at Petco Winchester VA every other Saturday. Additional events are held at area festivals, wineries, breweries, and parks. Approved adopters can schedule a private meet and greet with their chosen pet. Same day adoptions are not done, so please apply in advance of any adoption event to give us time to check vet and personal references and to complete the video home visit.
