Saved from a Wild Life
Up until she was about 18 months old, Mau Mau, as she is now known, lived in a feral cat colony. However, she was different from other outside cats. She was discovered by Feline Care Cat Rescue, a committed group that rescues stray and wild cats, who soon discovered she wasn’t suited for outdoor living. They understood Mau Mau needed a safer setting because of her odd appearance and health problems.
