My story

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

Hello! My name is Fred, I am a 16 to 18 year old, neutered male, short-haired tabby. I was relinquished to MaxFund October 2024 by no fault of my own, and now I am looking for my fur-ever home!

I am very talkative and a loving cat. I limp on my front left foot, but it doesn`t bother me! I just can`t run or walk that fast. Which is why I am the perfect candidate to hang out behind the front desk! I spend half of my time in my bed there, they call me their manager! If you come near me I will meow for attention. Everyone must pay the Fred toll!

I am super chill and ok with any person or pet. Anytime the staff need to test if a MaxFund dog is ok with cats, they use me! I do not mind. My ideal home is simply with people who will love me and give me pets. Bonus points if you work from home, then I could sit next to you all day!

I do have hyperthyroidism that is regulated with a medication, and since I am a senior I need exams every 6 months. Other than that I am doing great!

If you think I would be a good fit for your home, please come to the shelter to meet me!
The shelter hours are Sunday - Monday, & Wednesday - Saturday (Closed Tuesday) 9:30 AM - 4:30 PM, Closed 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM for lunch.

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.
