Usually it is a misdemeanor, yes.
A misdemeanor is a type of criminal offense, considered to be less severe than, say, a felony. A first time misdemeanor would be called such when it is the first time an offender has been caught for such an offense, and as such would probably be given a much lighter punishment than a repeat offender. Many misdemeanors are punished with fines, or a restriction of privileges e.g. loss of a driving license. Examples of misdemeanors could include reckless driving, petty theft, public drunkenness or criminal damage.

However: The terminology "felony petty theft" in an oxymoron. If it is Petty (Petit) Theft, by definition, it would be a misdemeanor offense, NOT a felony, and punishable by jail not to exceed one year.
