Tortoiseshell Cats Available for Adoption in Richmond, Virginia

Tortie Love Incoming — Meet Mavie!

Mavie (aka Mavis, Mavie Baby) is a stunning 8-month-old short-haired tortoiseshell—and a small, petite girl with a big heart. The moment she sees you, her purr motor starts up and she melts right into affection mode. She absolutely adores pets and attention, happily soaking up all the love you have to give.

While Mavie enjoys being held for a bit, she’s more of a “love me and let me go” kind of gal—she’ll let you know when she’s ready to hop down and continue her adventures. And adventures she has! Mavie is full of playful kitten energy and loves to run, chase, and turn just about anything into a toy.

When it’s time to relax, you’ll find her perched up high on a cat tower or lounging on a sunny window platform, watching the world go by. She loves a good view and a warm sunbeam.

Mavie is current on age-appropriate vaccines, FeLV/FIV negative, spayed, and microchipped—ready to head home with her forever family!
