I’m Hakumai, named after the famous and ever so tasty, Japanese short-grain rice! I have an equally delightful personality and I am known to be one “chatty catty”. When I make eye contact with visitors, I will gladly meow to say hello. When being patted, if you plan to move your hand away, I’ll meow again to say “keep going”. I also like to roll on my stomach for belly rubs. In fact, staff said it was hard to take photos of me for this profile because I was asking for cuddles and belly rubs too much. My loving owner had physical difficulties and could no longer care for me, which is why I was brought to ARK- but hopefully very soon, I will find my new forever home with a loving family to call my own.
