This gentle lady is new to shelter life, but she’s unfortunately an old hand when it comes to the upheavals that life can bring.
Born in 2011, the year of one of modern Japan’s biggest crises, Mascara is 13 years old — not old but no longer young. More recently, she lost her home when her elderly owner moved into an assisted-living home, and what was a loving, caring relationship came to an abrupt end.
Mascara was timid and very nervous when she came to ARK, but she has since regained her confidence and will call out and welcome anyone who may pass by. She’ll start purring when someone comes near, so we know she’s happy to be around people. She’ll even sometimes turn over and show her belly — proof that, deep down. Mascara is a sweetheart.
Despite the hardships she’s overcome (and maybe because of them), Mascara really needs a home where she can enjoy her golden years. She’ll be an appreciative companion and return the favor with plenty of soft, loving purrs.
