APL Pet of the Week: Maria

By Lacey Siomos Apr 23, 2026 | 9:36 AM

Meet Maria! 🌷

Maria is a beautiful 3-year-old calico with a vibrant personality to match her striking coat. She’s a truly lovely girl who adores attention and isn’t shy about asking for it—often rolling around happily to show just how much she enjoys being doted on.

Maria is full of love and charm, with a sweet, affectionate nature that makes her instantly endearing. She thrives on human interaction and will happily soak up pets, affection, and companionship whenever she can get it.

With her irresistible personality and adorable antics, Maria is the kind of cat who quickly steals hearts and fills a home with warmth and joy. She’s available for foster or adoption at the Animal Protective League, located at 1001 Taintor Road in Springfield. We are open every day from noon to 5 p.m.
