Adoptable Pets

Body
This week’s cat of the week is the beautiful girl you see above, Maui. Maui came to the Northern Oklahoma Humane Society in June of this year, after being returned. While she had been previously adopted and then returned, it is in no way Maui’s fault that she has no family to call her own. Maui is a 7 year old domestic shorthair with calico coloring. She is so incredibly sweet and she loves attention and to be pet. If you do happen to go see Maui and notice an absence of hair on her backend, she is not ill and does not seem to have a skin condition, just a little problem with picking at her hair. In fact, her hair is growing back extremely well and she has stopped picking! Maui has received a clean bill of health and is ready to find a home that will last for forever this time. Maui is so extremely loving and friendly. She is the kind of cat that always wants to be loved on. During our meeting, Maui was immediately loving and snuggly, only really getting excited when some temptations treats came out. She is currently the front office cat and is the boss. She’s runs the roost and that’s the way she likes it. This beautiful girl still has so much life ahead of her and she can’t wait for her second chance family to come pick her up.
