My name is Maia!

I have had Maia since fall of 2021. While it hasn't necessarily been easy, I still deeply love her. Due to both concerns about the safety of my toddler and landlord restrictions, I need to surrender her to someone who is very experienced with cats with behavioral issues. Maia has high anxiety and it causes a wide range of issues. These include marking directly outside of the litter box or by entrances/along walls, over-scratching her litter box (very loud when covering), is not good with kids or other animals, especially cats — one incident of her causing severe wounds on my hand: she was aggravated by another cat at the door and I reacted poorly. It was absolutely my fault for reaching my hand between them! She just needs a home more suited for her: someone who lives alone, no kids or other pets, possibly works from home, and has plenty of time to give her love and affection. She doesn't mark when she is well tended to. Loyal, likes tummy rubs, play, cuddles, eating with you, zoomies.
