My personality

My story

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

Mr Maury is a handsome grey and white domestic shorthair with a quiet, reserved nature that makes him a little shy at first. When you meet him, he may keep his distance, preferring the safety of a cozy nook where he can quietly observe. His thoughtful eyes hint at the deep well of affection he’s waiting to share, but he needs time and patience to feel truly at ease. He is FIV+. He gets along with other cats, dependent on their personality. Because of his FIV+ status, he should be in a home where he's not fighting/biting other cats or the only cat in the household or in a household with other FIV+ cats.

Once he realizes that all you want is to love him, his transformation is nothing short of magical. Slowly but surely, he comes out of his shell, revealing a sweet and affectionate side that will melt your heart. He’ll seek out gentle pets, purring softly as he learns to trust you, and before long, he’ll become a loyal and loving companion. His journey from shy to snuggly is a testament to the power of love, and for those who take the time to earn his trust, he’ll be the most rewarding friend you could ask for.

Maury would be fine with dogs as long as he is given slow intros.

Meet and greet/adoption appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt!
DON'T FORGET! Cats often do better with a friend! All our cats and kittens have an "Adopt one and the 2nd at half the adoption fee!" bonus!!!

Our kitten/cat adoption fees vary on age, special needs, lonely heart status (cats that have been with us 6+ months), and for our senior to seniors program. Our adoption fees include the following: all of our cats/kittens are current on vaccinations (FVRCP series and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, tested for Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), treated for fleas/ticks/earmites in addition to being spayed or neutered once the cat reaches 2 lbs in weight. All cats and kittens adopted from the shelter are microchipped. Adoption fees may vary in special circumstances.

Because we are on a busy street, we require that all cats leaving the shelter be in a carrier. All pets are up for adoption until an approved application is processed and their adoption fee is paid.
