Maressa's Story
Do you have room in your home and heart for our Spirit Cat, Maressa?<br/><br/>A Spirit Cat is an extremely shy cat that is not aggressive and lives in your home but is rarely seen. They are this way for a number of reasons but it's mostly because they may have had little to no past human contact, or have been a stray for a very long time.<br/><br/>Some may wonder what the benefit of adopting a Spirit Cat would be? Well it is a way to save a less adoptable cat that would otherwise not be given a second chance. These cats are often overlooked at shelters because most want a friendly lap cat but what some don't realize is that those types of cats can be intense! Spirit Cats are not intense at all! They are purrfect little housemates that do not bother you, they keep to themselves during the day and explore the house at night not disrupting anyone. Also, they can become best friends with your current cats as they usually thrive on the company of other felines. So they are purrfect for a home that is looking for a companion for their cat.<br/><br/>Our Spirit Cat Maressa is a beautiful, 6 year old girl who was born outside and lived that way her whole life. She was first trapped three years ago alongside her kittens and spayed, but wasn't ready for people, so she returned to her outdoor life. For those three years, her rescuer kept watch over her — Maressa would visit the yard every night for dinner, and the two of them would look at each other from a distance, never quite closing the gap. But this winter, Maressa started getting curious about coming indoors. So she was trapped again and brought in, and within hours, she was making biscuits and purring.<br/><br/>She'll do her own thing and move quietly through the house on her own terms, but find her in her safe spots and a whole other side comes out — she'll fall over for belly rubs, soak up kisses, and give headbutts like she means them. She adores other cats and would love a feline friend, though it's not a requirement.<br/><br/>After a couple of months of fostering, her foster mom is now able to hold her and cover her in kisses. It took time — and it was worth every second.<br/><br/>It takes a special type of person that is willing to adopt a Spirit Cat, are you that person for Maressa?
