About this Cat
Maple is a beautiful girl with a story to tell. She came to us as a stray, already pregnant, after befriending a kind soul who took her in. While her previous caretaker could pet and hold her, Maple is still learning to trust people fully. She's a little shy and cautious, but we know with patience and love, she'll blossom into a confident and affectionate companion. What makes Maple special? Chatty Chirper: Maple isn't your typical meower! She expresses herself with the most adorable soft chirps and chitters. It's like having a little songbird in your home! Loves Company (Especially Feline!): Maple enjoys being in the same room as her humans, even if she's not quite ready for pets yet. She's making progress every day! Queen of Feline Affection: Maple is a social butterfly when it comes to other cats! She adores her foster siblings and kittens, engaging in playful antics and cuddles. Treat-Motivated: While she's still hesitant about touch, Maple will happily accept treats from your hand. It's a great way to build trust and show her you care. Playful Hunter: Maple loves interactive toys that let her tap into her natural hunting instincts. Feather wands and laser pointers are sure to bring out her playful side! Maple is looking for a special home that can offer: Patience and Understanding: Maple needs someone who understands that building trust takes time. A calm and gentle approach is key. Feline Companionship: Because Maple thrives on the company of other cats, we believe she would do best in a home with at least one other outgoing, friendly feline. They can help her learn to trust humans and provide her with the social interaction she craves. A Safe and Secure Environment: A quiet and predictable home will help Maple feel more comfortable and secure. A Commitment to Building a Bond: While Maple may not be a lap cat right away, she has the potential to become a loving and devoted companion with the right person. Maple has made incredible progress in her foster home, and we know she's ready to find her forever family. Are you the patient, loving person who can help her shine? If you're interested in learning more about Maple and giving her the loving home she deserves, please contact us today! Maple is from a stray surrender with 6 kittens.

Adopt Maple and Receive Maple's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Maple's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Maple's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Maple, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Maple's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Maple was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Maple’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Maple’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Maple’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
