My story

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

Hi there! My name is Arisa! I'm 16 years old, but young at heart! In fact, my previous adopter said I still act like a kitten in terms of my desire to play! I am also sweet as can be and extremely affectionate, so if you're looking for a loving senior gal, look no further!

I was adopted recently and unfortunately had to be returned because I was being a bit of a bother to the other senior cat in the home. In fact, going forward, I would definitely be better suited for cohabitation with a cat who has a similar social disposition.

I do have hyperthyroid and long term I will need dental check ups, but don't fret! The hyperthyroidism can be managed with medicine, which I'm a really good girl at taking! Topical can be a little easier on me than oral administration, though--surely you wouldn't want a stranger putting their fingers in your mouth! I do well with other cats, but not so great with kiddos! It's unknown how I do with dogs, but that's something I'm always willing to test for you! Come stop by and see me, and I'm sure we'll 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.
