Domestic Short Hair and Calico Cats Available for Adoption in Maple Ridge, British Columbia

Cabbage Patch’s story started on the streets of sunny Mexico, but her journey did not end there. She is now with us, ready to begin her next, most important chapter: finding a furrever family to love her for life. This charming 2 year old was found as a stray by a kind Samaritan and was originally destined for a TNR (trap, neuter, release) program, but her sweet, gentle nature quickly won over her rescuer. Sadly, her rescuer was unable to keep Cabbage Patch.

Cabbage Patch is a sweetheart, with just the right touch of spunky calico charm to keep things fun. She is quite the queen of chat, always ready to share what is on her mind or tell you all about her day. Cabbage Patch can be a little sensitive around her ears due to a healing ear tip from the TNR program, but aside from that, she absolutely loves pets and soaking up all the affection she can get. When the mood hits, Cabbage Patch has a playful spark and gets a good case of the zoomies, especially after indulging in her favourite thing, catnip! Once she has gotten all her sillies out, she is purrfectly happy to curl up beside you and settle in for some snuggly couch time. She would do well in a home with older children, but she does not like other cats and will need to be a solo kitty. Aside from her ear, Cabbage Patch is very healthy despite having spent her young life on the streets and is great with her litter box.
