How this pet arrived:
Maisie was brought in by a community member on February 16, 2026.
Why this pet is the one for you:
Meet Maisie! Maisie is a sweet and resilient feline ready to find her new home after overcoming a challenging start. She arrived at the shelter with a significant injury that required a Femoral Head Ostectomy, commonly known as an FHO surgery. This surgical procedure involves removing the head of the femur to eliminate painful bone-on-bone contact in the hip joint, eventually allowing the body to create a "false joint" out of muscle and scar tissue. While the procedure sounds intense, it is a common way to restore pain-free mobility for cats with severe hip trauma. Now that the hardest part of her journey is behind her, Maisie is looking for a dedicated adopter who is ready to spoil her as she completes her recovery. She is a gentle soul who thrives on affection and will need a quiet environment where she can continue to regain her strength at her own pace. Potential adopters should be prepared to provide a comfortable space for her to lounge and heal. If you are ready to welcome this brave girl into your life, please remember to bring a sturdy cat carrier to ensure she has a safe and secure ride to her new home.
