Who’s the new love of your life? Me that`s who. Yep, my name Who. with the jokes, but I am an old gal, so you can’t I am the amazing Who, a beautiful, sweet, 13yr young lady who will warm your heart as soon as you come to meet me. I have been a bit down lately as my brother and I were given up by our human mama after living together for most of our lives. It was so traumatic on all of us, including our human, who needed to relinquish us because she moved in with people who were allergic to cats. It was especially hard on me as my brother looked out for me and was really outgoing so was quickly adopted once we got here, leaving me all alone. I have also been put on some thyroid medication, but that doesn’t bother me too much as it is so easy to take, but it was another change to get used to. The good thing is that there are other nice cats here even if I am really shy and don’t get out much. I guess I am a bit of an introvert now that I have experienced this heartbreak. Here at the shelter, I have a great domed bed that allows me to hide out when I want and watch all the action in my room from safety and warmth. I do get along with children and other calm cats who respect my space. I have a nice toy mouse that I like, but my favorite thing to do is cuddle. Boy, can I cuddle better than most. Especially if you walk up to my second story apartment, I will rub up against you, give you kisses, and rest my head on your shoulder.

~Foster to Adopt~Hello Wonderful People, My name is Pica but my friends call me `Pica Boo!` As you can see, I`m a gorgeous black gal with beautiful green speckled eyes. When you open my kennel door, I will pop my head out of my hidey bed and then as you pet my cheeks, chin and between my ears (which I LOVE), I will follow your touch and come towards you. This is when my friends say, `Pica Boo, I see you!` I was returned to MaxFund because my former guardian no longer wanted to pay for my one medication. This made me very confused and sad as I thought we were such a great match. Then I found myself in a new place (MaxFund) with many new neighbors, smells and sounds-- I was so scared. However, I am an optimist and have made the very best of being here. And happily, since being at MaxFund, I am no longer on any medications! I do eat a specific type of food to ensure I don`t develop any urinary issues (I have none). I like this diet just fine and it is not expensive. But... I am still a little shy. I venture out of my kennel for people who are kind, gentle, and patient with me....are you one of those people? I promise to repay you with purrs and nuzzles and life-long cuddles. At 10 years old, I truly am a middle-aged sweetie. I know cats age faster than humans BUT cats are also living longer these days so I`m sticking with calling myself middle-aged. I`m an easy-going, relaxed, calm girl. I just need a home that is similarly relaxed and quiet with no young children or dogs, please. I prefer to be an only cat. At the shelter I have not enjoyed being around other cats, however I`ve been here over a year (very sad) and it`s too much being in close proximity to other cats for so long. I MIGHT get along with an older, relaxed cat in a home with lots of space and safe spots for me. Won`t you please come meet me? I`ll be waiting for you! Love, Pica Boo

Hi friends! My name is Otter and I am as cute as my name implies. (Otters are sooo cute!). Let me tell you a bit about myself. I am a very social 12-year old boy who loves to be near people. I will most certainly be in your lap within minutes of meeting you. I can be a real talker, but I won’t keep you up at night, promise! Playing with wand toys and a laser pointer are some of my favorite hobbies. I don’t like to brag, but I’ve been told that if joyfully watching birds and squirrels out of my window was an Olympic sport, I would win the gold medal. Not much fazes me. I am fine around kids and other cats as I previously lived with both. Thanks to the volunteers, I have recently started enjoying walks around the shelter in a harness safely attached to a leash. I get to explore all the nooks and crannies while being my adorable panther self. I had my right eye removed due to a chronic disease that was negatively affecting me. I am doing so much better since the enucleation! And let’s be honest, I look pretty darn cute as a one-eyed panther kitty. I was brought to MaxFund almost 2 years ago because my guardian was working long hours and felt he no longer had time for me. I was extremely sad to lose my home. I’ve been here too long and would love to be chosen to be part of a forever family again. Naturally, MaxFund’s wonderful staff and volunteers make me feel loved, however there’s nothing quite like a forever home with a forever family. I am diabetic but please don`t let that deter you! I need twice daily insulin shots and I eat special food. I take my insulin like a champ and I love food so I’m a very good eater. MaxFund staff will show you how to administer my insulin, super easy. I`d love for you to come meet me! I’m quite easy to fall in love with, I really am. If you`d like more info about me you can email our Cat Foster Coordinator at fostercats@maxfund.org

Hello Lovely Hoomans, I`m Basil, a beautiful 12 year old grey and white short-haired guy with an adorable pink nose and matching nose freckles!I love to be brushed and give gentle head butts. Cat research shows that both of these traits reveal I am a trusting, loving soul who wants to be near humans! So, if you want a gentle, easy-going boy, that`s me! I`m just 12 years old – plenty of healthy years left as you can see by my mesmerizing green eyes and alert ears! I do need to be in a home where I can give and receive lots of affection, so a single person working away from home all the time would be hard on me. On the other hand, folks working from home who can give me time, and anyone who has kids, would be great. Better yet- also adopt one of my cat buddies, such as Otter or Jackson, who are also at the shelter. I get along great with both of them. I am diabetic but please don`t let that deter you! I need twice/ daily insulin shots with a very small needle. This does not hurt me (easily goes into my scruff) and is either given immediately after I eat or while I`m eating. I make it easy because I`m very food motivated! Our vet staff will show you how to give insulin. In fact, one of my human friends, who is 76 years old, easily gives insulin to her cat. Won`t you please visit me... and maybe even brush me, tee-hee. I`ll be waiting for you! One more thing - check out the picture of me IN A HARNESS! The volunteers are letting me walk around the shelter safely in a harness and I love it! They say I`m harness trained but really, I trained them to walk me!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 - 4:30, Closed 12:00 - 1:00 for lunch.

Meet sweet Cupcake - no pun intended! Surrendered by his guardian in November of 2022, this gorgeous boy is very ready to find his forever family. Cupcake is a sleek black panther with inquisitive green eyes and a lovely white bib. You`ll quickly find that he is as sweet as his name implies, with a bit of cattitude until he really gets to know you. He enjoys being around people and when you earn his trust he will give you kitty kisses! At only 10 years of age, he is playful and social, and he especially loves wand toys and chasing around a laser pointer. Cupcake was brought to us through no fault of his own. His guardian was away quite often and thought it unfair to Cupcake to be alone so often. Eventually, they made the hard decision to surrender him to MaxFund for a chance at finding a family that could give him more attention. He was initially a bit unhappy at the shelter, but after being given a room of his own, he blossomed. We are certain he will blossom even more in a home! We believe Cupcake would be best as your only fur baby.Please come meet this beautiful, friendly boy!Cupcake is currently in a foster home but HE STILL NEEDS A FOREVER HOME. If you are interested in meeting and adopting him, please email the Cat Foster Coordinator at fostercats@maxfund.org or stop in to the shelter and ask to speak with her.
