These two go together like macaroni and cheese! A bond that has been formed and one should never be left out of the recipe of their friendship.
Maverick is a medium gray-hair who is a little on the shy side but loves to be petted. His eyes will draw you in and you will immediately fall in love. He is your macaroni and needs a little added spice to his life which comes in the form of Jester.
Jester, a short hair tabby is Maverick’s cheese. Jester is calm and sweet and loves to have his body scratched. He is friendly with both dogs and cats and gets Maverick up and moving for playtime.
The two are looking for a new home where they can share a cozy bed, a warm sunny shelf or even the back of your couch looking out a window. The two find comfort in each other as they navigate new dwellings.
Pet Refuge in South Bend has Maverick and Jester, both 4, available for adoption.
Maverick and Jester are both four years old, neutered and up to date on vaccinations. At the beginning of 2026 isn’t it time you gave Maverick and Jester a home of their own. Cuddle up with them on the couch, pop some popcorn and watch Jester’s favorite movie, “The Big Lebowski.” Told you he was a little “cheesy.”
Give Pet Refuge a call today and you’ll find Maverick and Jester waiting for you.
