Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hey guys, I’m Maxwell. Things haven’t been so great for me lately, but I just know that someone reading this is going to change all of that. I was adopted when I was a kitten and settled in to what I thought would be my forever home. Unfortunately, my owners can’t keep me anymore, so here I am, looking for a new forever home.
I’m a grown up kitty now, so this time around I know exactly what I want in my real forever home. I love to play. My favorite toy is the laser light. I could chase that little red dot all day! So my first requirement is a forever home with a red dot for me to chase. I know I’m going to catch it one of these days!
I am also a very big fan of people. So my second, and most important requirement, is a forever home with people who will be around to give me lots of love and attention. I really would prefer to spend most of my time with my special human. Tiny humans can be a bit much for me to handle though. I’m a laid back kind of guy, and they’re a little wild and crazy. Sudden movements and lots of commotion really scare me – they make me hide and feel like I need to protect myself, so, I would prefer a home with just grownups. They give better pets and head scratches anyway.
I may not be a kitten anymore, but that just means that I’m calm and relaxed, instead of wild and rambunctious. I still love to play, and I still love to snuggle, so really you get the best of both worlds with me!
Do you have an empty nest to fill? I might just be the perfect guy for you!
The best way to ensure you have a good chance of adopting me is to fill out an online application at www.henricohumane.org/adopt/application-for-cats/. We take applications on a first come, first served basis, so applying quickly is always recommended!
Our adoption events are every Saturday, excluding holidays, at the Petco next to Trader Joe's in Short Pump from 11:00 to 3:00 (11331 West Broad Street, Glen Allen, VA). To find out if I will be attending this week's adoption event, please email cats@henricohumane.org.
If you're not sure which cat you're interested in, or are just beginning to search for a companion, our adoption coordinators can help! Just fill out a short questionnaire at www.henricohumane.org/adopt/cat-adoption-questionnaire/ that will help us match you with our wonderful cats or visit us at our adoption stand.
