About Maggie

Meet Maggie, a lovely tortie cat who takes her time to warm up to new faces but has a heart full of affection to offer. She and her sister, Lisa, were discovered playing near parked cars in Chicago, and are now looking for their forever home together. Around one year old, Maggie is a bit shyer than her sibling but thrives on human companionship. After a few weeks in foster care, she quickly adapted to the joy of lounging on soft beds and being petted. While she may not enjoy being picked up just yet, Maggie loves to sit on laps and cuddle once she feels comfortable. Ideally, she and Lisa should be adopted together; they play, wrestle, and bring out the best in each other. Maggie is spayed, fully vaccinated, and ready to meet her new family. Come visit her at PetSmart in Northbrook and see if you could be the right person for her. Don't miss this chance to add some warmth to your home!
