My story

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

Hello there, I'm Maxie! I'm a sweet, and gentle soul. My family left me to be put to sleep but the vet just couldn’t do that. The vet reached out to Texas CARES to help me. I'm FIV positive, but that doesn't change who I am. It doesn't make me any less loving or playful. I still purr when you pet me, and I still curl up in your lap when you're reading a book. I'm just like any other cat. So, why should you adopt me? I'm a friend, a companion, a listener. I'm the quiet comfort on a tough day and the gentle purr that lulls you to sleep. I'm just a cat who wants a loving home.

NOTE: Maxie has tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). Many FIV+ cats can live long, healthy and relatively normal lives with no symptoms at all, especially when raised exclusively indoors. However, FIV can weaken a cat’s immune system over a period of years so proactive vet care is crucial. FIV is not communicable to people or other pets such as dogs, rabbits, etc. The virus is not spread among cats through casual contact such as shared food/water/litter, mutual grooming, or playing. It is most commonly spread through deep bite wounds inflicted as part of serious aggression among cats.
