Mary's Story

Meet Mary, the mama with the magic mittens! This beautiful one-year-old sweetheart was rescued from a local colony while she was expecting. She's since raised her kittens with all the love in the world, hung up her "mom hat," and is ready to focus on herself for once - starting with finding a forever home to call her own.<br/><br/>Mary is a polydactyl, which means she has extra toes - or as we like to say, extra pawsitivity to give! She's gentle, affectionate, and loves attention, but also enjoys a cozy nap spot where she can keep an eye on all the action. After everything she's been through, she deserves a soft bed, a warm lap, and someone to adore her as much as she'll adore them.<br/><br/>If you think your home is where Mary's next chapter should begin, head to happylifeanimalrescue.org to register for adoption. Give this loving mama the happy life she's been waiting for - she's already got her mittens on and ready to hold your heart!
