My name is MADDOX!

Hi! I’m Maddox (DOB: 01/19/2018), a male purebred Shaded Silver Persian. I was surrendered to a local animal control with several of my siblings when my owner could no longer care for me. I lack full socialization, but I am a good boy and would love a calm home with someone who is patient with me. I am not shy or aggressive – I just don’t yet fully understand this whole affection thing. Sometimes I like it a lot. My main motivation is toys – ping pong balls, springs, and the string from an old hoodie (that will come with me to my new home) make me very happy. I forget my lack of socialization when someone plays with me. I can be petted, but I prefer it just be my head and shoulders. I will let you know when I’ve had enough petting by backing away. My foster mom tested me to see what I would do if she ignored my signals and I lightly swatted her with no claws. I love to sleep in my carrier because I feel safe there. Recently I started to come out of my carrier when my foster mom sits with me in my room and will sit beside her. I haven’t purred yet, but I do have a little grunt I make when I am relaxed. I don’t seem to mind other cats as long as they are nice to me and have not met the dogs in my foster home. I do like to play paws under the door to my room with one of my foster mom’s cats. We’ve met face to face briefly and I was good. My manners are wonderful and with patience, I may become a cat who likes to be nearby on the sofa with you or maybe even on the bed. I don’t think I will ever be a snuggly kind of guy, but I am a good boy and will be a good companion. I am neutered, up-to-date with vaccines, negative for Feline FIV/FeLV, dewormed, have received flea preventative, and am microchipped. My adoption fee is $300.00.
