About Mara

Miss Mara is a 2-year old Maine Coon mix with a gorgeous brown tabby coat who was rescued from a high-kill shelter in September. When she arrived at her foster home she was quite the Little Miss Hissy Pants, frightened of everything, but not afraid to say so. What a difference a couple of months in a loving home has made, with a patient foster family to work with her. Mara now solicits attention and pets from her foster mom, and is very sweet in those moments, which are endearing, though still brief. Mara gets a bit overstimulated after too much attention and will mouth and bunny kick her foster mom before running off in a huff. She was likely separated from her mama cat and siblings at a very young age and hasn’t had good experiences with humans before coming into rescue, so she is still learning that being loved is a good thing.

Mara loves to rest in high places and observe her surroundings, or watch the goings-on outside from a nice high window. In her foster home, she has selected the kitchen counter as her favorite safe spot, where she can see all that is going on while being well out of reach of her kitty and doggie foster siblings. She can be encouraged to move when the counters are needed for human use, but will help herself right back to her spot when the kitchen is quiet again. When Mara is in her new home and feels safe, she should easily be encouraged to lie in more convenient locations, such as a nice tall cat tree near a window.

Because Mara is still learning her good kitty manners and how to trust people, she will need a forever family who will be patient with her. A quiet home with no children, dogs, or other cats will be best. Given consistent love, kindness, and some positive reinforcement, Mara should blossom into a loving young lady.

Mara is spayed, up-to-date on her vaccinations, and has tested negative for FeLV/FIV. She is very ladylike, always using her litter box.
