Maro
Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · Adult · Male · Medium · Brick, NJ
Notes from Jersey Shore Animal Center
This cat is part of our shelter outreach program where we take pets from overcrowded shelters in hopes of finding them a forever home here! We generally do not have much background info on them. They are all up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered and microchipped. FIV/Felv negative. Maro has been waiting over a YEAR to find his furever home. He is a staff and volunteer favorite, and we just don't know why he is still here! Maro is a very sweet, loving, and super fun guy who truly enjoys being around people. When he’s happy, he purrs up a storm, and he can be a little chatty too! Once you earn his trust (and he does pick his favorites), he’ll happily sit on your lap and soak up the attention. Maro enjoys belly rubs, bring brushed with a soft bristled brush, giving headbutts, being held, and playing with his duck toys. Maro is a big sensory seeker and loves interactive enrichment. At the shelter, he can get a bit understimulated, and will sometimes play rough with people to exert his extra unspent energy. Maro needs a cat savvy home that understands feline behavior, and can provide the proper structure and guidance he needs. Maro is very smart and responds well to positive reinforcements and routine. He would do best as the only pet in the home, where he can have all the space and attention he deserves. *Updated 10/26/26 4:50pm
