Hello there, wonderful humans - I'm Maple! I'm a beautiful, cheeky, playful, and sweet tabby girl. 💗
Before coming into care, I was a stray who lived in the region's outback bush. I was afraid of people, unsocialised, and what most people would call "feral". SCA Qld's foster carers have worked with me for over a year to socialise and rehabilitate my former wildling self. I've made so much progress, learned how to be an indoor-only "house cat", and let my personality shine!
I love pats and scritches, especially under my chin and on my neck while I purr away contentedly. Oh, and I love to be brushed, as you will see from my happy dribbles! I'm the kind of cat who enjoys being near you, coexisting in your company (your little shadow around the house) - I'll sit next to you, not on you.
I'm playful yet gentle and will happily play for hours on end, enjoying the kittenhood I didn't get to have. I will entertain myself by chasing the ball, tossing the bird toy around, doing zoomies, using the cat scratcher, and playing peek-a-boo with the other cats. 😍
I'm happiest in the company of other cats and will coexist respectfully with them. If you've got friendly felines at home, follow the slow introduction process SCA shows you and we'll become best buds. I'm not fully tested with dogs or children, but if you have friendly dogs and/or respectful kids, I'm sure we'll get along with patience.
I tend to eat most of my biccies straight away but have come to trust that I can leave a little food in the dish for later. Ooh, I love food puzzles because I'm a very intelligent cat and enjoy my treats, and also my water fountain as I like to stay hydrated. And don't worry, I know how to use the litter tray too!
✨ My forever human? You are kind and patient, as you understand that I need extra time and space to settle into my new home. You understand cat behaviour and respect my boundaries, giving me affection when I seek it and my own space when I need it. You give me unconditional love and the predictability of a routine. This helps support my sense of safety and is essential in building a trusting bond together. In return, you will be rewarded with a cheeky, smart, and well-adjusted kitty who will bring you endless joy and entertainment.
Will you be my chance at happily ever after? Fill out an application now!
Purrs,
Maple xo
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
Medical notes:
I tested negative for FIV/FeLV and have been an inside only kitty since. I should be kept inside or in an enclosure to keep me (and the wildlife!) safe and healthy.

Foster to Adopt:
Maple is available under our Foster to Adopt program, which is all about giving our less confident kitties the opportunity to settle in, get to know you, and shine! Under this program, we provide all food, flea/worm treatment, and litter while you foster Maple. That way, you can decide if you're the right fit before adoption!- Fill out our Foster to Adopt application here and we will contact you with further information: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=scaqld&method=online_form_html&formid=43
All applications will be assessed for suitability and compatibility. Approved adoptions will commence with a two week trial, after which time the adoption will be final and the microchip will be transferred to you.
All of our cats will be sent to their furever homes fully vaccinated, desexed, microchipped, parasite free and ready to become part of your family!
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO NOT CONDONE ROAMING CATS - when applying to adopt our cats, we expect that they will be kept as indoor cats only and/or have a suitable outdoor enclosure.
