Adoption information
About Maybel
This beautiful girl would have some stories to tell if we could understand her language.
She was found by a member of the public living under a pool pump cover. She is such a young cat herself, but she fought tooth and nail to protect the babies she had just given birth to. Unfortunately, only one survived by the time she came into care.
She was the most protective Mumma to little Mattie (who found his forever home some months ago). Since his adoption she has moved to another Foster Home while she has continued to learn that humans aren't all terrible people, and some are actually worth being around.
This has taken time, and with even more time, we hope she will come further along in her journey.
She does, however, have a very strong...catty...personality, so it's best to keep the below in mind.
She is beautiful.
She is feisty.
She requires an experienced cat owner (no first-timers).
She is the Queen and expects to be the only 'Pet' in the house.
Her servants should know their place! (which is feeding her, obviously).
She will eat children for breakfast. (Not really. But you get the drift).
She occasionally will lash out, not surprising as she was a street cat in her previous life.
She is a Chonky Chonk Ba Donka Donk.
She does have a sweet side. She sleeps at the end of her carers bed at night, clearly eats well, and likes to be the centre of the room, watching what everyone is doing, and joining in on games night.
She likes to reach out and touch you but does not appreciate being touched back.
Not a lap cat, but sure does take a pretty picture!
Perhaps being settled into an only pet home will help her mellow down even more, cause boy, has she come a long way from the terrified cat who tried to protect her kittens from the world in a pool pump!
Her adoption fee is $125, which includes all of her Vet work through our supporting Vet, Redlynch Valley Vet. Her vet work is complete and up to date.

Adoption details
Please note we are located in Cairns FNQ.
Message our Facebook page, or email us, so a meet and greet can be organized with the foster carer.
The adoption form is completed at the meet and greet if the adoption goes ahead. Payment can be cash or a bank transfer to our bank account. More details can be supplied when you message the page.
Desexing, microchipping and the first two vaccinations are included in the adoption fee.
There is a 2 week trial time in which the kitten/cat can be returned and the adoption fee (including any donation required) is refunded. This time may be extended for some of our very shy kittens to allow more time for them to settle.
