This week we chose a very special little kitty for top honors. Maggie May is a 5-month-old girl who has already been through quite a bit in her life. She was diagnosed with luxating patellas, a condition in which the kneecap moves out of its normal location, and needed to have several surgeries.

Despite her hardship, Maggie’s mom describes her as a free-spirited kitty with a very loving personality. She loves playing with her older siblings (of which she has quite a few!) and snuggling with her stuffed pink pig toy, Stuie. Maggie May has also been known to curl up in front of the stove while her mom cooks, hoping for a stray piece of food to drop!

Maggie May came into her new family’s life when her dad found her under the hood of a car. He originally took her home to foster her until a forever home could be found, but her new family fell in love with her quickly and decided to adopt her themselves.

If you want to read more about Maggie, check out her blog, where her mom is documenting her progress with her condition. Maggie May certainly deserves some special attention, and we’re happy to name her this week’s pet of the week!
