🍁🥞MEET MAPLE 🥞🍁

After raising her kittens, Maple has learnt that a comfy bed is much nicer than roughing it on the streets! Do you have a soft spot on your bed where this sweetheart can curl up?

Nature
Maple was understandably cautious of humans at first - after all, she had to look out for her kittens on the streets and keep them safe. She was very cautious at first about this big, strange creature that had taken her away from everything she knew. After over a year in care, she will now chirrup when she wants attention, and loves curling up next to her humans on the bed. In fact, the bed is her favourite place - she will snuggle up on anything soft and fluffy, right next to you.

She can be a little spooked by hands coming at her from above, but after inspecting said hand and deciding it is allowed near her, she will head bump and demand pats and cuddles. Being picked up is pretty scary for her, so we're working on that, but Maple loves nothing more than to curl up next to a human where she can drool in happiness at getting pats.

Companions (Children, Cats & Dogs)
Maple is very cat social, and needs to have other cats in the home with her. She has made best friends with the fluffy resident cat, and loves to use her floofy backside as a pillow when they snuggle together. She gets on well with cats of any age or gender, although she does find the younger ones a bit too energetic for her, as she is a very quiet cat.

Maple is okay with the older resident dog who is much calmer, but the bouncy young dog scares her. As long as she has safe spaces and is introduced slowly and calmly, she should be fine with a calm dog.

Likes / Dislikes
Fish is definitely her favourite food, and chicken as well. She's not a super fussy eater, although if something has upset her, she does need cuddles and pats before she'll settle down to eat.

A fluffy bed or blanket is a MUST for Maple, as it's the quickest way to make her feel safe and loved.

She doesn't like any sudden and unpredictable movements and noises and will need a safe space of her own while she finds her feet and learns to love and trust you.

My PURR-fect home would be with someone who can give me the time and patience I need to feel safe, relax and enjoy some well-deserved pampering. Some cat friends would help me feel safe and give me a snuggly buddy!
