Mariah came to Fluffy's Friends a year ago. She was rescued from a kill shelter when her elderly owner was moved from her home into a nursing home. Her children promptly deposited Mariah at the local shelter. Mariah was scared, confused, and did not know what she did wrong to be put in jail. Mariah did the only thing she knew to do - bite! She was classified as a biter and not adoptable. But Mariah was declawed. Biting was her only defense. She was quickly tranported to Fluffy's Friends and we went to work. After a year of slowly socializing her, she was playing with other cats, chasing mousies, eating treats from our hands, and no longer biting! As attached to Mariah as we were, we knew that it was time for her to find her furever home. Within days of posting her, we were contacted by a wonderful woman in Florida who had fallen in love with her. Mariah was expertly transported by the Underground Railroad Rescued Kitties Network to her new home. It took two long days of riding for Mariah, lots of changing vehicles, many new people, and an overnight in someone's home. Mariah never complained, never bit anyone, and was fascinated by all that was going on around her. Now she is in Florida with her furever meowmy, sitting atop a desk, looking out the window at a lake filled with storks, herons, and seagulls! She plays with her toys, has become a rather good lap kitty, and continues to progress in her new home!
