Maverick Domestic Short Hair Mix Bellingham, WA

Hi, my name is Maverick! I'm a PURPLE pawprint, which means I will fit well into a home that meets some specific criteria. Here is what would work best for me in my new home:

-Personality: Affectionate, a little bit shy, purr-ticular
-Can Live with Cats: No, Maverick is upset by the sight of other cats in the shelter.
-Can Live with Dogs: Unknown history. It sounds like Maverick is pretty sensitive and would do better in a household without dogs.
-Can Live with Kids: 10+, cat savvy and respectful. Up to counselor's discretion.
-Needs Indoor Only Home: Encouraged
-History of Litter Box Issues: Yes, Maverick occasionally urinated inappropriately in his previous home. In shelter he has used his litter box with an additive called cat attract.
-Energy Level: Medium
-Bite History: No
-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Nope, good to go!

Maverick is a young cat who has not had much stability in his short life. He was surrendered due to allergies and urinating on the son's bed. It sounds like his previous home was filled with things that overwhelmed and stressed him out. Many factors go into when cat's eliminate inappropriately, so we recommend giving Maverick the time, space, and respectful boundaries he needs to adjust. Maverick would do best in a quiet, low foot traffic home as your only 4 legged companion.
