Story
Please contact Dana (DanaCC4C@gmail.com), (925) 586-6408 for more information about this pet.Maisey is a short-haired, blue and white, about 3 years old and petite at only 7 3/4 lbs. A coworker noticed her in our parking lot on a hot Tuesday morning 8/22/23. I quickly coaxed her from under the car, stashed her in a coworker's office while I got my emergency carrier, then took her home with me. No microchip, not spayed, with a slight limp, clearly abandoned since my office is close to the Martinez animal shelter. Maisey can be very affectionate and friendly, purrs a lot, and greets new people. But she has some past trauma because she will occasionally smack w/o nails. Leading me to think that she lived with small children who poked and pulled and were too rough with her. I've seen the same behavior before. She also has a pronounced limp in her back right leg. Xrays were clear, which suggests a recent soft tissue injury. My guess... a child hurt her, she retaliated, and then she was dumped at the Shelter outside. None of which was her fault, and she certainly didn't deserve that. So it was a blessing that I rescued her since she needs a little extra patience and TLC to regain trust which she wouldn't have gotten in a shelter environment. During my years of rescue, I've found that adult cats outside for long period of time do not know how to play. But Maisey does, so she must have been an indoor-kitty recently and being dumped outside was a bit traumatizing. Because of past experiences, she is not a good candidate for children; and would be best adopted to an experienced cat person or someone who is willing to be patient and accept her on 'her terms'. She so wants to be loved! She likes to hang out with me while I am working in my home-office, after a busy period of walking all over my desk and laptop, in and out of my lap, rubbing her head against my hand for pets. Maisey really really really loves canned and raw food. She has a cute little chirp, and gets very excited at breakfast and dinner time. She has gained half-a-pound since I rescued her, so she was definitely under weight. She is pretty mellow during the day, curls up in a donut-bed and snoozes most of the day. Has the typical adult cat behavior of being more active in the morning and evenings. And she just likes to hang out, be in the same room as me. At the moment, that is my home-office where she can also people-watch out the front window if she wants. If you are interested in a long-term foster situation to work with her, or would be interesting in adopting her, please contact me. She was spayed, tested FIV/FeLV negative, chipped & vaccinated 9/18 at our Cat Hospital.
