About Maya & Claudia

Meet Maya, one of our Celebrity Traitors cats!

Named after Maya Jama from The Celebrity Traitors, our beautiful Maya may not be quite as confident in the spotlight as her famous namesake, but this gentle girl has a lovely personality just waiting to shine through!

Maya is a sensitive soul who finds the big wide world a little overwhelming. She's shy around new people and unfamiliar surroundings, preferring to watch everything from a safe distance before deciding whether she's ready to get involved. But don't let those initial nerves fool you! Underneath her cautious exterior is a sweet, loving girl who is slowly learning that people can be trusted.

And if there's one way to win Maya's trust, it's through her stomach! She's particularly fond of Licki-lix treats, which have become a wonderful way to help her build confidence and form positive relationships with the people caring for her. A little treat, plenty of patience and some gentle encouragement can work wonders with this lovely girl.

Maya is looking for a quiet, understanding home where she can settle at her own pace, without too much hustle and bustle. She'll need someone who understands feline body language, respects her boundaries and is happy to celebrate all those little milestones as she gradually comes out of her shell.

Having previously lived in a multi-cat household, Maya may be able to share her new home with another friendly, compatible cat, provided introductions are slow and carefully managed. Dogs, however, would be a little too overwhelming for her, so she'd prefer a dog-free home.

Maya could live with teenagers who understand that she may need some peace and quiet while she settles in. She'll also need access to the outdoors once she's fully settled and confident enough to begin exploring the world beyond her new home.

Maya in a nutshell:

- Could live with understanding teenagers - Would prefer not to live with a dog - May be able to live with another friendly cat - Will need outdoor access once fully settled - Shy initially but has a sweet, gentle nature - Loves Licki-lix treats, which help build her confidence - Needs a calm, patient and understanding home - Appreciates having her own space and time to feel safe - Looking for someone who will let her build trust at her own pace

Maya may not be the first cat to rush forward and demand attention, but that doesn't mean she has any less love to give. Watching her confidence grow, seeing her personality emerge and earning those precious moments of trust will make every little milestone feel extra special.

And in true Traitors style, Maya might be keeping her cards close to her chest for now, but we think there's a lovely little Faithful waiting to reveal herself!

If you have a peaceful home, plenty of patience and a little room in your heart for a shy girl who just needs someone to believe in her, Maya could be a truly wonderful companion.
