Cuchita Maria was adopted from a rescue shelter after being removed from her previous owner, for severe abuse. She was very fearful and withdrawn when we adopted her. She is now a very loved and sweet tempered member of our family. She gets along great with other animals, particularly cats. She acts like a cat and attempts to make purring noises when happy and content. Her favorite snack is banana; she loves to sneak dried cat food when she can get away with it. She hates to wear her coat and refuses to walk in it.
