The video shared by the shelter introduces Maggie as a long-term resident who has been at the shelter for over a month. According to the on-screen text, Maggie's kittens have all been adopted, but she is still waiting for a forever home.

Maggie returned to the shelter after some needed rest in foster care. She cared for her kittens there before they found homes. However, life back in the shelter has been hard for her. The account explained that she often hides in the darker side of her pod, so many adopters do not show much interest.

## Maggie's personality and needs

Despite her shy nature, Maggie is not unfriendly. She is timid, and she needs someone who will not expect perfection from her right away. Her foster carer said Maggie takes time to open up, but she is worth the wait. She likes hiding places until she feels safe, yet she enjoys head butting hands and cheek scritches.

## Adopting Maggie

The shelter is hoping that someone will visit and adopt Maggie. They believe that in a quiet, compassionate home, Maggie may grow into herself again. Viewers of the video have also been moved by Maggie's story, with many expressing their hope that she will find a forever home soon.
