My story

Meet Maya, a beautiful black cat with a heart as deep as her glossy coat. Maya is a bit of a wallflower, preferring to observe the world from a safe distance. She's a little shy, but don't let that fool you. Behind those bright, curious eyes is a world of untapped affection and fun waiting to be shared. Maya's past was a little rough, as she was born and raised in a semi-feral colony. But feral life was not destined to be her future because this sweet girl wanted to be rescued. And while she walked away from the feral life, it's clear she's still struggles learning to fully trust people. She might not be the first to greet you at the door, but give her time and patience, and she'll slowly come out of her shell. She's a cat who needs a gentle touch, a soft voice, and tasty treats to reassure her that the world isn't as scary as it seems. Maya is looking for a forever home where she can feel safe and loved. She might take a little longer to warm up, but once she does, she'll reward you with a lifetime of loyalty and love. She adores being brushed and loves gentle pets and scratches, and she's particularly fond of treats and catnip. There are still a few things in life that make her nervous and afraid, but time and patience are helping her become more confident and trusting. Maya is more than just your average cat; she's a companion waiting to share her heart and life with someone who understands her. So, if you have a quiet home and a patient heart, Maya might just be the perfect addition to your family. She's a testament to the fact that trust takes time, but the reward is worth every moment. If interested in meeting precious Maya, please submit an application here: https://fjcasp.wufoo.com/forms/adoption-application/

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Maya, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
