Dilute Calico Cats Available for Adoption in Maple Ridge, British Columbia

Maria has officially entered her glow-up era!

At 10-12 months old, she arrived in our care as part of the “Vineyard Cats,” a group of young semi-feral cats from the island. Scared and incredibly shy, Maria spent her first few months perfecting the art of hiding. Seriously, you could walk right past her cat tree and have no idea she was tucked away inside. Every so often, her tiny face would peek out, then poof—gone again! Fast forward to today, and Maria is now letting her sweet, friendly, and silly purrsonality take center stage. She is a busy bee who loves investigating her room and what her shelter pals are up to. She’ll happily greet you when you stop by, often showing off an adorable little half-roll with her bum high in the air to say hello!

Maria is a sweetheart whose lovely nature will only shine brighter in a relaxed, cat-savvy home where she can settle in at her own pace and continue to grow in confidence. An adult household would be ideal, though she may also do well with older, respectful children who have a gentle approach. Maria absolutely adores the company of other cats. It would be purrfect if she could be adopted alongside one of her Vineyard pals, but if that is not possible, she “must have” a friendly feline companion in her new home. Maria is healthy and has impeccable litter box habits.

To learn more about Maria or to arrange a visit to the shelter, please reach out or fill out an application. You are also welcome to visit us during our Open House, held every Saturday and Sunday from 12 -2 pm.
