Meet Maisha the Cat: Magical, Majestic

Each week, we feature pets available for adoption from C.A.R.E. at Evanston's Animal Shelter.

C.A.R.E. cat Maisha is a girl with a strong sense of self. This sleek, young black cat with a silky coat and questing golden eyes seeks a home with someone who will appreciate her curiousity and intelligence.

C.A.R.E. volunteers have found that Maisha likes "to talk a lot and tell you exactly what she's thinking." If there's a ledge or a high perch, that's where you'll find Maisha--keeping a close eye on proceedings below. She's also a bit of a magpie--volunteers have noticed that she likes to gather up her little treasures (mousies, sparkleballs, a favorite blanket).  

Maisha arrived at C.A.R.E. when she failed to get along with the other cats in her previous home. Maisha's dream home would have her as the Only Cat. She has had experience with dogs, however.
