About Maggie

Maggie keeps things on her terms. She came in as part of a group of six feral cats and hasn’t forgotten her roots—she’ll spend hours exploring the house and most of the time prefers to keep to herself. Stability and a safe place to stay warm and fed matter to her; she deserves a real home instead of a barn. Maggie might watch you from across the room once she gets used to your rhythm, but she still likes to hide out and simply exist in her space. She does well with other cats and can manage living with dogs, but children aren’t her thing. Maggie’s best adopter is patient and quiet, possibly willing to take her in alongside one of her old feral mates for extra comfort. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
