Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Hi, I’m Maverick

Yes, I’m as handsome as my name suggests. I’m a striking tabby boy under a year old with bold, beautiful stripes and a personality to match.

I was found in a colony and ended up joining another litter—guess you could say I’ve always done things my own way. Fitting, right?

Let’s get one thing out of the way: I’m not a “pick me up and carry me around” kind of guy. Not my style. But if you happen to have a lap or a comfy belly available? Oh, I’m all in. Once I settle in, expect lots of cuddles and sweet little kisses. I just prefer to choose the moment myself.

I require a cat tree. Non-negotiable. I love to climb and survey my kingdom from above. If you’re someone who has a cat wall—or dreams of building one—I would very much like to submit my application as your lead explorer. Heights are my happy place.

I would do best in a home with a confident, friendly cat who enjoys playtime. I like having a buddy to wrestle with and build my confidence around. A playful friend helps bring out my best self.

If you’re looking for a gorgeous tabby with an independent streak, climbing ambitions, and a soft side reserved for cozy laps, I’m your Maverick. Let’s start our next adventure together.

Maverick is currently in a foster home. If you are interested in meeting him, please send a message here, or email adopt@ahsem.org.
