We currently have five pets, three cats and two dogs. Our middle cat, Maggie, has anxiety which manifests as behavioral issues (mainly anxiety-induced aggression) that we believe are related to the presence of the other pets. Because of life events, our situation will only become more complex and we worry about how she will handle the added stress. We believe she would be better suited as an only pet for a single individual or couple with no kids. She is an indoor cat who has been spayed. She is not up to date on her vaccinations, but we would be willing to get her up to date before adoption.
