My story

Hi world, I'm Duke, a very handsome 11 year old black and grey, male tabby. As a young boy, I lived at Maxfund when I was adopted. by a very nice woman and lived with her for 10 years. I had some health issues and was brought back to Maxfund. I became very sad and kept to myself. I was put on an anti-stress diet which helped but I continued to feel depressed and sad.

Right now, I am in a wonderful foster home where I am thriving. I am so happy, content, and grateful. My foster home is quiet. I have a window to look out of where I can watch the neighborhood and sleep in the sun. I can be quite playful, batting around balls and toys. My wonderful, loving personality is shining through. I am loving, sweet, and talkative when I am hungry. I live with an 8-year old chihuahua mix and we do fine. He's downstairs and I'm upstairs and when we cross paths, we get along fine. I am living proof that once out of the shelter and in a home, my true personality shines through. I will stay in my foster home until I find a permanent home. Please take a look at me and fall in love.

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.
