Maat — named for the Egyptian goddess of harmony and love - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Winston-salem, North Carolina

Ma’at — regal, radiant, and ready to rule your home.

A silky, vocal, full-figured queen ready to rule your home with sweetness.

Ma’at is a stunning all black beauty with silky fur, expressive golden eyes, and a personality that shines the moment she walks into a room. She’s 2–3 years old, confident, affectionate, and wonderfully vocal — she loves to “talk,” chirp, and chat with her people throughout the day. If you enjoy a kitty who communicates and engages, Ma’at is your girl.

She’s a full-figured cuddle bug, gentle, social, and incredibly sweet. Ma’at bonds deeply with her humans and loves being part of the household rhythm. She’ll follow you, talk to you, and curl up beside you like the little goddess she is.

Ma’at’s family recently welcomed a newborn, and while she has never shown any aggression or unsafe behavior, she has become stressed and jealous with the sudden change in attention. Her family loves her dearly and wants her to thrive — and they know she would be happiest in a home where she can be the center of someone’s world, not sharing the spotlight with a new baby.

This is a loving, proactive rehoming, not a behavioral concern.

Her Ideal Home
-Ma’at is flexible and easygoing, but she thrives best in a calm environment.

-She does well with cat safe, calm doggies (no high energy pups).

-She gets along with a friendly male kitty.

- Kids over 10 years old.

-She would be absolutely perfect as a single cat, adored and spoiled as the queen of her new home.

If you’re looking for a cat who is affectionate, engaging, and full of personality, Ma’at will fill your home with warmth, conversation, and silky cuddles.
