Maggie's Story
Maggie has spent her entire life in a shelter - from kittenhood to now, nearly three and a half years later - without ever knowing what it means to have a home. Because she missed that crucial early socialization, Maggie is deeply afraid of people. She hisses, swats, and keeps her distance, not because she's feral or aggressive, but because fear is all she's ever known.<br/><br/>Maggie may never be a lap cat, and it's important to be honest about that. But we still believe she deserves a chance. She is being sent to a foster home where, for the first time, she'll experience quiet, consistency, and space - and where we hope her true personality may finally have room to exist.<br/><br/>Adopting Maggie would require extraordinary patience, realistic expectations, and a willingness to love a cat who may never love you back in the traditional way. But for the right person, offering Maggie safety and stability would mean giving her something she's never had: a life outside the shelter walls.
