Meet Maggie: A Loving Tuxedo Cat Looking for a Forever Home

A sweet and affectionate feline named Maggie is looking for a new home after her previous living situation became too stressful. This 9-year-old tuxedo cat was surrendered to the Stafford County Animal Shelter after experiencing anxiety due to conflicts with other cats in her home. Now, she’s ready to find a loving family who can give her the attention and care she deserves.

Maggie has already been spayed and is declawed, making her adoption process straightforward with no restrictions. While she is still adjusting to shelter life, her affectionate nature shines through—she’s a cuddler at heart and has done well with young children in the past. Though she hasn’t yet had roommates at the shelter, she may be compatible with older or more relaxed feline companions. However, she would also thrive as the only pet in a calm, loving home.

Maggie is available for adoption on a first-come, first-served basis. Potential adopters should bring a valid photo ID, and if their ID does not reflect their current address, proof of residency may be required. The shelter also offers cat carriers for $5 if needed.

Stafford County Animal Shelter
Address: 26 Frosty Lane, Stafford, VA 22554

Monday-Friday: 11 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.
Saturday: 9:30 a.m. – 4 p.m.
