My story

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

Hello Friends,

Gorgeous here and while I'm not one to brag, I kinda feel I live up to my name! I'm a medium-hair tuxedo gal with pretty, symmetrical markings and adorable white ear tufts.
If you are looking for a loving, easy-going, sweet cat - that's me! I'm 14 years young-- still with plenty of life in me as you can see by my alert, green eyes and healthy appearance.

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 given either right 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 friends, who is 76 years old, easily gives insulin to her cat!

Won't you please come by to meet me? I'll be waiting for you and thank meow!

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.
