Shelter: BC SPCA - Richmond Education & Adoption Centre Animal ID: 538306 Birthdate: November 02, 2011 - Senior Spayed/Neutered: Yes Female Hi, I'm Maru I am quite a shy little lady, I had a really rough life before coming to the BC SPCA, so it can take a little while for me to open up and feel comfortable with people. I would do best in a quiet home with no small children as fast movements and being touched too quickly can startle me! I love being brushed and I love wet food snacks, this is the way to my heart! With a little time and patience, I just know I will be the best kitty for you! I have a grade 3 heart murmur, that does not require any medication at this point, but check ups with the vet will be very important for me to monitor this and ensure that if it does get worse as I get older, I get put on any medication needed! I am also deaf, so sometimes being touched while I'm sleeping can frighten me! I would do best in an indoor only home, with another friendly feline already in the home to help me feel comfortable, or I would love to be adopted with one of my friends here at the shelter! (Yuki, Nori, Azuki, Pockey or Aiko!) If I sound like the girl for you, please submit an application for me here: https://spca.bc.ca/survey/cat-adoption-application-richmond/
