Meet this sweet tortie girl, estimated to be around seven years old — though her exact age is a bit of a mystery. Life hasn’t always been gentle with her. She’s missing one eye, has very few teeth left, and carries the kind of rough-around-the-edges look that tells a story. But underneath it all is one of the most loving, affectionate cats you could ever meet.

She absolutely adores people and will happily carry on little conversations with you throughout the day. She loves being brushed, petted, and held close, and one of her favorite things is rubbing her face against your cheek for extra snuggles. Despite everything she’s been through, she has an incredibly gentle, trusting personality.

She gets along wonderfully with other cats and is fabulous with children. She hasn’t met dogs yet, but because she’s such a relaxed and easygoing girl, she would likely do well with a calm dog and a very slow, thoughtful introduction.

If you’re looking for a cat with a huge heart, endless affection, and a personality that shines brighter than this special girl is ready to love you completely.

Mae is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, spayed, and litter box trained.

Mae's adoption fee is $135. If you are interested in meeting her, please fill out our Online Application today!

Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will be able to contact you to arrange a meeting.
