Adoptable cat Maven is looking for a new haven in Alexandria

By James Cullum

Maven loves to watch birds and squirrels from the window of his foster home.

The two-year-old brown tabby seems shy at first, but opens up when he’s excited, says Gina Hardter, spokesperson for the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.

“Maven loves to share with his friends how thrilled he is about mealtime, a new crinkly ball or the happenings outside the window,” Hardter said.

Maven is staying with an AWLA foster caregiver, and to learn more about him, email [email protected] or call 703-746-4774 (option 2).
