Maxine is a gorgeous and petite, medium-haired, brown tabby who arrived at HART in the summer of 2023. Her beautiful coat has such unique markings, with splashes of gold interspersed between the stripes in her coat. She is not a Maine Coon, but she could pass for a small one.
Yeah, Maxine has a reputation for being something of a diva, and she isn't afraid to express a bit of her 'tude with you. She used to prefer to stay in the safe space of her favorite comfy bed, but recently we have discovered that she actually enjoys sitting in your lap for long periods of time! She also enjoys playtime with a catnip mouse. Maxine adores attention from visitors and will rub against you and roll over when you pet her--however, she might then reach out and whack you! Because of her tendency to act out and be unpredictable, Maxine will require a calm home without other animals or children, and with cat-savvy adults who have experience living with and caring for cats with strong personalities.
Our Adoption Team will review her specific needs with you prior to adoption. We know this special girl will do great in a home where she feels truly comfortable, and with people who appreciate her sassy kitty self! Our guess is that she just needs to be able to trust her people since she was abandoned at her house when her owners moved and left her behind. The new owners were not able to keep her because Maxine did not like their dog.
Maxine is on a once a day medication, fluoxetine, to help her with her dislike of the younger roommates. She takes this in a pill pocket with a little treat. We will send you with some medication to get you started but you will need to discuss with your veterinarian if she is to stay on the medication.
Maxine is like a hidden treasure...well worth seeking out and giving her some time to shine...
