The life
of the young cat Maya
was in danger
From the perspective of Gut Aiderbichl
(written by Gisela Pschenitschnig)
The owner of 13 cats passed away. Twelve of the cats left behind could be rehomed, but one cat, Maya, stayed with the deceased man's neighbor. However, Maya was not really welcome by everyone in the animal-loving woman's household, and her life seemed to be in danger because there was someone who rejected her.
Maya's rescuer turned to Gut Aiderbichl's animal emergency center. There were 912 cats living at Gut Aiderbichl at the time, now there are 913. Maya the cat has found a new, safe and quiet home at Gut Aiderbichl in Traisen.
Maya is young and curious
Maya follows the people in Traisen wherever they go. She loves her keepers and all the cuddles she gets from them. Perception, attention and affection come right after a full bowl of food for Maya.
She is still young and loves to play. When her friends are not in the mood to play, Maya grabs the play rod and has a good time on her own.
Maya lives in a cat flat share
Dobby and Lou are currently living with Maya in a cozy cat flat. Dobby no longer got on with his friend, a Persian tomcat, and had to be relinquished for this reason. Lou, a lively Siberian forest cat, was surrendered due to a bladder problem.
Maya, Lou and Dobby don't cuddle together, but they get on very well. Maya chooses her friends very carefully and waits. Distance and privacy are extremely important to her. She accepts Dobby and his Lou.
A special care place is being sought for Maya
At not quite three years old, Maya is actually too young to live in a cat shelter. She is healthy and has her whole life ahead of her.
So we are trying to find a place for pretty Maya where she can "assert" her cat head and get lots of cuddles.
Perhaps you are the right person for little Maya? She can't tell us her story, nor can she tell us why she behaves the way she does. However, we also know that a cat somehow only does what it wants to do. Velvet paws are self-confident, good people-watchers and always mysterious.
Cats love people much more than they want to admit, but they have enough wisdom to keep it to themselves.

Maya the cat is a good example of what people do to animals or possibly want to do to animals. Maya must have sensed that she was not welcome, and so peoplehumans have to have to earn her trust.
Maya needs patience, lots of love and gentle familiarity. Everything has its time.
