A staff member writes: Hi humans, my name is Jose Maria and I came into MACC what feels like forever ago. I'm a 5 month old kitten with a heart full of love, but I'm just a little scared to show it right now. I was surrendered by my humans due to my medical bills. I was born with a really bad eye. I didn't notice it at first but as I got older, it got worse and A LOT more painful. The amazing staff here at MACC were able to remove my bad eye and believe it or not, I feel even better now that it's gone! In the shelter I'm really scared. I allow for petting and some handling, and show no signs of aggression, but I just need a home all to myself. I like other cats and at my last home I lived with 9 of them! I promise, if you give me a chance I'll be the sweetest cat you've ever had! EYE promise you!
