Maverick, the adorable little kitten, came into this world with an extra chromosome but he carries on with life just like any other feline, without a care in the world.
The Odd Cat Sanctuary came to Maverick’s rescue when he was just six months old after being surrendered to the New York Animal Care Center. With his charming crossed eyes and lovable personality, he won over the hearts of everyone he met at the shelter.
Maverick was always ready for head bumps and purrs, seeking attention from volunteers who quickly grew fond of him. Since the shelter had limited resources, they knew Maverick needed a rescue that could provide him with the best possible future.
Volunteers contacted Tara Kay, the passionate founder of the Odd Cats Sanctuary in Salem, Massachusetts, to see if she could offer Maverick a helping hand.
The Unique Feline Sanctuary
The Unique Feline Sanctuary is dedicated to the well-being of special-needs cats and kittens. They not only agreed to take Maverick in, but also committed to providing him with ongoing care to ensure he has a forever home and a dedicated guardian. Maverick was born with a genetic condition similar to Down Syndrome in humans (an extra chromosome) and also has a mild form of hydrocephalus (excess fluid in the brain).
The Unusual Feline Haven
“Although he may appear unique, deep down he’s just like any other typical cat,” Tara shared with Love Meow.
Upon his arrival at his new residence, Maverick wasted no time in showing his affection, immediately purring and playfully tapping Tara with his paw. “He’s such a sociable little guy. He enjoys engaging in conversations and is quite the chatterbox.”
At The Odd Cat Sanctuary, the little feline easily made himself at home and seemed as though he belonged there forever. Before long, his cheeky and spirited nature shone through as he frolicked and pranced around the sanctuary.
