Mazy

Mazy and her dog brother became homeless when their person vacated their rental property without notice and left them outside to fend for themselves. The dog was picked up by the town's bylaw officer. Mazy, just a kitten, would have been very frightened and stayed close to the property. She found her way back into the unit and that's where she was captured. The landlord had a family connection with one of our long time foster providers who agreed to add Mazy to her already large family of PAW foster cats. We were in a race against the clock when Mazy came to us on December 9, 2022. We hoped she wasn't pregnant as we guessed she was around six months of age. We were relieved when our clinic was able to spay her on December 22/22 (she wasn't pregnant).

Personality:

We wonder if Mazy had much attention from her previous person. She seemed somewhat detached from everything when she came to PAW, as if she was used to being in the background. But this sweet girl, black and white with a smudge on her nose, soon started to open up. Her foster mom thinks that Mazy would do well as an only cat. It's not that she's aggressive, it's just that she withdraws when other cats are around. She visibly relaxes when she has her foster mom all to herself but, unfortunately, in a multi-cat home, that kind of quality time is hard to come by. The ways she asks for attention are subtle and quiet. She tilts her head for pets or invites a conversation by rolling on her side and tucking in her head (she does not like tummy rubs). She doesn't mind being picked up and carried. She enjoys playing independently with her toys...as long as the other cats aren't watching. She has become quite good at letting foster mom know when she wants her food bowl. She sleeps on her own pillow at the head of foster mom's bed. We would like for Mazy to have not only a tender and loving person, but someone who appreciates her quiet ways and learns who she is by word and deed. Meet a young adult who wants a lifetime to tell her story.
