MAEVE

Like a character in a Gothic novel, I am Maeve, a shy and timid soul who has learned that the world, while frightening, can also be wonderfully kind. My story began as a stray, and I arrived at the shelter carrying secrets and fears in my quiet heart. Behind my distinctive polydactyl paws and my charmingly wonky smile lies a gentle spirit that blossoms slowly, like a flower opening to moonlight. I need patience and understanding, a caregiver who speaks softly and moves with intention, someone who understands that trust is not given quickly but earned through consistent, quiet devotion. My true nature reveals itself in the stillness of dawn and the solitude of evening, when I emerge from my hiding places to seek affection and companionship on my own terms. I love to be petted, to sit nearby and watch my person move through their day, and to follow them from room to room like a devoted shadow. I play with unbridled energy when I feel safe, and I have finally discovered my purr—a sound that rumbles with months of healing. I am not a lap cat, nor do I enjoy being picked up, and I prefer homes where I live as the only cat. If you are someone who can give me space without judgment, who celebrates small victories and understands that nervousness is just caution wrapped in love, then perhaps my story's next chapter could be written in your home.<br/>How did I get here? Transferred from Scotland County Humane Society with my kittens. <br/><br/>**I have tested positive for FeLV (feline leukemia) - please speak with an adoption specialist for more information.**<br/><br/>~My adoption fee is waived.~
