Mavis (& Mabel)

Meet Mavis (& Mabel)!

Hello, we’re Mavis and Mabel, two little sisters looking for a special home where we can finally feel safe enough to be ourselves.

Our story hasn’t had the happiest beginning. We were abandoned in a park, and after everything we’ve been through, the world feels like a very big and frightening place. We’re still extremely nervous around people, and we haven’t quite worked out yet that there are kind humans out there who only want to help us. But we’re trying, in our own little ways.

We might not be the kittens who come rushing over to say hello or ask for cuddles straight away. For now, we prefer to watch from somewhere safe and take everything in from a distance. Every so often, though, you’ll catch a little glimpse of us. We’ll come out for our food, because even shy girls love treats. And sometimes, when we’re feeling brave enough, we’ll settle down for a snooze on our favourite chair.

Those might seem like tiny things, but for us, they’re big steps towards feeling more comfortable with the world around us. We just need someone who understands that confidence doesn’t happen overnight, and that learning to trust can take time when life has only ever taught you to be afraid.

We’re looking for a very special kind of home. Somewhere quiet and peaceful, with patient people who won’t expect too much from us too soon. We need humans who are happy to sit nearby without asking anything of us, let us observe from our safe little hiding places, and allow us to decide when we’re ready to take the next step.

We can’t promise that we’ll be confident little lap cats straight away. But with patience, kindness, and the security of a loving home, we have the chance to discover a life we’ve never really known. Somewhere beneath all this fear are two little kittens who deserve to grow up feeling safe, warm, and wanted. We deserve a cosy place to sleep, regular meals, peaceful days, and the chance to learn that humans can be friends.

We may be hiding for now, but we’re here, and we’re waiting for someone who can see past our fear and believe in the little cats we might one day become.

Could you be our safe place?
