Story
Maggie Mae is six months old. Maggie is a kitten and very playful and likes to bite. She needs a house hold with another cat or someone that can spend time to Play with her. We are gone to much and can’t spend the time and she needs that right now to get her behavior better so another cat would be ideal. Maggie was at the shelter with many kittens and she was fine. Help this little girl out. She is declawed, spayed, microchipped and all shots are current.
