My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Max isn't in the CARE foster system. He is listed as a courtesy & CARE isn't responsible for any issues with the cat or the adoption process.

“My name is Max and I think I was named that because my former Dad thought me to be a “good ole boy.” (In case you’re not from the South, that’s a genuinely nice compliment!) Even though I think I was young, Dad knew an old soul when found me. Age seems elusive to nail down with me; my foster mom thought I was a young adult based on my energy level, curiosity, and interest in playing. Then I went to the vet and based on the condition of my teefs, they decided I must be elderly. The dental revealed severe calculus build up, but nothing a cleaning and polishing didn’t fix right up. And best of all, no extractions. No one knows how long it takes for a kitty to develop a dental issue, but my rescue mom once had a five-year-old girl whose vet said she had THE worst dental condition of any cat she’d ever seen. And there was PROOF she was only 5 yr old. So. My age remains my secret, we’ll just go with between 5-10 years old. That said, I’ve got great litterbox manners, I’m a tidy boy, well groomed, and if you’re into it, I’m a GREAT lap cat. My foster mom says I’m a purrfect cat and deserve more time and attention than she can give me (I’m far from an only child in this household). If you’re looking for a great companion (with a great smile!), please submit an application to learn more. Or call my rescue mom. It could be the beginning of a wonderful relationship!”

Max’s early life isn’t clear to us, but somehow along the way he contracted FIV. Either from his mom or an altercation with another cat before he became an inside cat. FIV isn’t a death sentence; we’ve adopted out many positive kitties to homes with healthy cats. Proper introductions ensure everyone is on their best behavior.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

CARE is a volunteer-based organization which relies on foster caregivers to provide loving, stable homes to homeless cats and dogs, helping them become the best possible pets for their future forever families. We do not have a brick and mortar facility; our foster pets reside in our volunteers’ homes and become a part of the family until a forever home is found. You can meet many CARE foster pets at CARE adoption events or, after an application is submitted, by agreement with the CARE foster caregiver at a mutually agreed upon place.
