Maisie - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Ottawa, Ontario

Maisie and her sister Rosie were born on September 15, 2025, and have grown into a beautifully balanced duo. They came from a home with other cats and dogs and are comfortable with a busy, active household.

Maisie is the adventurous, outgoing sister — the first to explore a new room, greet a person, or investigate a new toy. She adapts more quickly to new environments and people, and her confidence helps Rosie to be braver.

Once they settle in, both girls are playful, affectionate with people, and full of kitten energy. They love to zoom around, wrestle, and then curl up for snuggles. Like many young cats, they can get a bit 'mouthy' when excited, giving gentle nips at hands or feet — their foster is actively working on redirecting this behavior.

They are fully litter trained, mostly consistent with their scratching posts, though still learning that tables and counters are not for cats. They’re curious explorers and will happily steal unattended human food if given the chance.

Because Maisie and Rosie are deeply bonded — and because Rosie relies on Maisie’s confidence — they are looking for a forever home together. With a bit of patience, playtime, and love, they will blossom into a joyful, affectionate pair.
