Story
To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profile https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston Looking for a cat who is equal parts hilarious, brilliant, and fiercely devoted? Meet Maia, a stunning and spirited girl ready to be your most unique and loving companion. Maia has two main settings: cuddles and chaos, meaning she'll either be curled up on your lap or plotting her next great adventure, usually involving a toy puzzle. Maia is the funniest, sweetest, bossiest, smartest, bravest, and most mischievous girl you'll ever meet. She is incredibly cuddly and seeks out her humans, thrilled to see you every time you come home. Her foster parent calls her a true friend, stating, "You will never be lonely." She is highly engaged in her environment and wants to be involved in everything you do. She melts for pets, especially between her eyes and under her chin, and makes lots of beautiful, expressive eye contact when talking to you. Like a classic Siamese, Maia is famously vocal, using a wide range of sounds to "talk" to you and make sure you know exactly what she needs. She is one of the most playful cats around, excelling at solving treat puzzles and throwing her whole body into games. She doesn't love feeling restrained, though, and while cuddles must be her idea, she is quick to adapt after briefly assessing new situations. Maia is a superstar who takes her daily challenges in stride. She has a spinal abnormality and gastrointestinal hypomotility, which causes her to be partially incontinent. She uses the litter box approximately 50% of the time. The other 50% of the time, she does not seem to be able to feel urine or feces leaving her body. This means that surfaces she spends time on will need to be protected. Her biggest challenge is the cleanup involved with her incontinence. However, she is a champ at managing her medical needs, taking her daily medication without complaint and maintaining her health with a high-fiber diet, both of which she will need for life. Her foster parent emphatically states, "She is worth it!" Maia is healthy, happy, and fully thriving now that her regimen is established. If you are ready to welcome the smartest, most hilarious, and bravest cat into your life, and are prepared to manage her easy-to-love medical needs, Maia is waiting to be your forever friend!
