Mamba

Space became a crisis issue at WCAC, so we took on another cat. Maui Wowie was at the center getting some exposure time, but I'm happy to say he made it into another foster home.

I brought home Mamba:

I prefer to let our foster animals freely mix and mingle with the rest of the family, but Mamba went on quarantine for the first few days. She's now out of her quarantine period but is perfectly happy to stay in her room, away from the pesky teenaged boys and the big scary dog. She doesn't even know that we now have two big, scary dogs...

Mamba is a terribly cute, petite girl at just 8 lbs and 1 year. She's extremely affectionate and loves attention. She's fine being held and loved on, and she entertains herself just fine. She's very, very happy to see anyone who comes through the door on two legs.

She doesn't appreciate the boys coming into her room and will play a little but mostly slap them around, showing them who's boss. She'd do okay in a house with other cats but they'd need to be laid back or willing to section the house out into queendoms. She is definitely bossypants.

Honey scares the daylights out of her. She scaled a nine-foot bi-fold door to escape the dog (who was just passing by), then couldn't think of a good way to get down. We got a stool to get her down, but we keep the dog away when she's out now. Her tail doesn't puff to four times its size anymore, but she is still very wary and prefers to keep to herself.

Regardless of her skills in the animal kingdom, Mamba would make a great companion for any person. She's friendly, active and playful, but also likes a good cuddle and attention from her humans. She's gentle during play, no matter how rowdy she gets (and she can get pretty rowdy). I basically fell in love with her immediately because of her big purr, her cute little round face and short little legs, and how happy she is to have a friend. I hope that she can find the loving, permanent home that she deserves. Please email me or comment if you're interested.
