My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi friends! My name is Otter and I am as cute as my name implies. (Otters are sooo cute!).
Let me tell you a bit about myself. I am a very social 12-year old boy who loves to be near people. I will most certainly be in your lap within minutes of meeting you. I can be a real talker, but I won’t keep you up at night, promise! Playing with wand toys and a laser pointer are some of my favorite hobbies. I don’t like to brag, but I’ve been told that if joyfully watching birds and squirrels out of my window was an Olympic sport, I would win the gold medal. Not much fazes me. I am fine around kids and other cats as I previously lived with both. Thanks to the volunteers, I have recently started enjoying walks around the shelter in a harness safely attached to a leash. I get to explore all the nooks and crannies while being my adorable panther self.

I had my right eye removed due to a chronic disease that was negatively affecting me. I am doing so much better since the enucleation! And let’s be honest, I look pretty darn cute as a one-eyed panther kitty.

I was brought to MaxFund almost 2 years ago because my guardian was working long hours and felt he no longer had time for me. I was extremely sad to lose my home. I’ve been here too long and would love to be chosen to be part of a forever family again. Naturally, MaxFund’s wonderful staff and volunteers make me feel loved, however there’s nothing quite like a forever home with a forever family.

I am diabetic but please don`t let that deter you! I need twice daily insulin shots and I eat special food. I take my insulin like a champ and I love food so I’m a very good eater. MaxFund staff will show you how to administer my insulin, super easy.

I`d love for you to come meet me! I’m quite easy to fall in love with, I really am. If you`d like more info about me you can email our Cat Foster Coordinator at fostercats@maxfund.org

More about this shelter

The MaxFund is a non-profit organization that was established in May of 1988 to provide medical care for injured pets with no known owners, and to seek out new homes for these animals once they have recovered. The MaxFund is a no-kill dog and cat shelter. MaxFund assists hundreds of people and animals each year by trying to make the correct match between owner and pet. MaxFund adopts our animals to Colorado residents only.

The MaxFund is a TRUE no-kill shelter. There is no pre-sorting of animals into "adoptable" and "non-adoptable" categories, discarding the so-called "unadoptable." The MaxFund takes every animal it has the space for. EVERY animal is kept until its owner is found or it is placed in a new adoptive home.
