Mavis's Story

Meet Mavis — A Gentle Soul with a Beautiful Comeback <br/><br/>Mavis is the kind of cat who reminds you just how powerful love and resilience can be. At just 7 months old, this petite, long-haired beauty has already overcome more than most—yet she greets the world with nothing but sweetness. Once neglected and underweight, Mavis has made an incredible recovery. Her coat, once sparse, has grown back soft and full—now shimmering with rich reddish highlights and a delicate silver collar that make her truly one of a kind. She’s not just surviving—she’s thriving.<br/><br/>And her personality? Pure gold.<br/><br/>Mavis is exceptionally gentle and affectionate. She loves being held, happily melts into hugs, and doesn’t mind being carried around like the little princess she is. She’s calm, easygoing, and wonderfully patient—making her an ideal companion for families with children. She’s also lives comfortably with dogs and other cats in her foster home, even forming peaceful relationships with older, more reserved feline friends. While she enjoys the occasional burst of playful kitten energy, Mavis is happiest curled up in your lap, soaking in warmth, comfort, and love.<br/><br/>Mavis’s ideal home:<br/> • A loving, nurturing environment where she can continue to feel safe<br/> • Families with children, gentle dogs, or other cats<br/> • Someone who appreciates a calm, affectionate lap cat<br/><br/>Mavis has already proven how strong she is. Now she’s just waiting for a forever home where she’ll never have to struggle again—only love, comfort, and cuddles from here on out.<br/><br/>Ready to meet Mavis? She’s ready to be held, loved, and cherished—just as she always deserved. Mavis is house-trained, fully vaccinated and spayed.

WAGS Fund's Adoption Policy
WAGS ADOPTION PROCESS  We work hard to find the perfect home for all the dogs and cats in our care. Listed below is the sequence of events that we go through to assure that our pets and our applicants are the perfect match for each other:   1. As a courtesy to our foster parents, we will ask you to fill out the first part of the adoption application form prior to setting up a private meet and greet. After reviewing your application, we will contact you for a phone or email discussion, usually with the foster parent,  to discuss your current situation, your expectations of pet ownership, and to answer questions that you may have about the dog.  After the initial discussion, if you decide that you would like to move forward with the adoption procedure, we will arrange a time for you to meet your prospective new family member.  We may suggest you bring your other pets to this meeting.   2. After receiving your application, we will verify with your vet the care on your current or previous animals.   3. If the initial meeting goes well and both parties agree to move forward with the adoption, we will make an appt to schedule a home visit and/or arrange to have the pet meet your other animals.   4. If, at the home visit, both parties agree that the home is good match for the adoptable pet, we will move forward with finalizing the adoption.  Most of the paperwork will be done electronically.  5. At a mutually convenient time, we will arrange to transfer the pet to your possession.  We will take a happy tail photo and collect the adoption fee (if it hasn’t been  previously paid electronically).  The medical records will be transferred to you via email.  6. The adoption coordinator will check in either by phone or email to make sure things are going well and to answer any questions you might have.
