Poor Maya was abandoned at our grooming shop. Look how sad it made her. Made me sad too. People brought her in for a bath, gave us fake addresses and phone numbers and then never came back. The nerve of some people! We don't know her age, history, or anything. The vet said she's healthy though!

But she desperately needs a place to go. she's living in a small cage for weeks now. I know, i know - story of any shelter animal's life. But its just so sad seeing her.

Maya just wants to be loved. ...but on her own terms. She is a female, and we all know what attitude issues come with that (I'm a girl, I can say it). She doesn't like dogs. She doesn't like cats. She doesn't like you touching her back or by her butt. *sigh* women.

We're looking to find a... quiet plain home for her where she would not be bothered too much. Maybe with some senior citizens (she seems like she's 6-9 years old herself, so no spring chicken). Or just someone who wouldn't bug her too much. Let her trust them on her own terms. That means NO kids/cats/dogs/in-laws. But perfect homes are so easy to find, as we all know...

Honestly, I think she would calm down with her attitude if she was in a home. The grooming shop is no place for a cat that's not used to it. Too much noise, too much stress, too many dogs. she's very sweet when there are no dogs near her...

btw in case you're wondering, she DOES have eyes. They're green and beautiful \:\)

So sad! I wish she liked dogs/cats/kids/inlaws 'cause I have all of those (well, not kids that belong to me but around me \:\) ), and she is BEAUTIFUL! I love her expression, even sans eyes, in the first one. She reminds me of a cartoon cat from somewhere...

Is there a kitty rescue org that could foster her? As you say, a grooming shop must be really stressful for a cat who likes peace and quiet. How upsetting that she was abandoned - but I really admire your shop for helping her out!
