My story

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

Max is a chatty baby tiger. He was an escape artist, affection dodger, and professional hider at his foster home initially. He learns everything from other cats, so he would do well with some younger, energetic, and curious cats. Having ally cats is non-negotiable; he needs their guidance still so he can continue to grow socially.

Every moment is a potential breakthrough, and he continues to come out of his shell the more time you spend with him. By the end of the third month with him, you can likely expect Max to keep you company in your bed.

He is very observant and learns how to get to safety very quickly. He might need to keep you in line by slapping you for no reason. He needs stimulation and interaction, but he doesn’t really know how to ask for it. The best little peeps come from him, and he will try to carry on conversations. He has gorgeous spots and stripes, a fluffy belly, and little pointy ear hair antennae. When he finishes kneading the bread dough, he forms himself into the most perfect loaf you have ever seen.

Loves: calling out to socialize, other cats, cardboard scratchers, all types of gravy canned food, catnip, having furniture to hide under, using a bin of clean sheets as a bed, playing, string toys to catch and drag to his lair to keep as a prize, talking back, a nice full bowl of water, and lickable snacks.

Dislikes: being held, being startled, and having to be an only cat. He'd likely do best in a home with adults or older, cat-savvy kiddos.

Max is estimated to be almost three years old. He has been neutered, dewormed, flea treated, microchipped, vaccinated, and has tested FIV/FeLV-. Do you have room in your home and heart for a big orange baby who needs a bit of patience and time to settle in? Consider Max!

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Typically we talk a little with potential adopters to find a cat who is a good fit before sharing the application.

2.

Approve Application

We check over the application including checking vet references and doing landlord checks.

3.

Interview

We spend more time chatting with the adopters to specifically go over any questions from the application and details about the specific cat.

4.

Meet the Pet

Potential adopters have a meet and greet with the cat or kitten in the foster home.

5.

Sign Adoption Contract

At the meet and greet, if all goes well, the adoption contract can be signed, the fee can be paid, and the pet can go home!

6.

Pay Fee

7.

Take the Pet Home

Additional adoption info

We try to do our best to make sure we find good fitting, responsible homes, without wasting a lot of our time. Our app has a lot of screening questions which help eliminate potential adopters who might not be serious (they usually just don't return the app), or not a good fit, which is why the in depth interview happens once the app is returned.

More about this rescue

We are a small but dedicated 501c3 nonprofit cat rescue specializing in making one person's garbage kitten another person's forever cat.

Our mission is to reduce feline suffering and overpopulation using a combination of TNR and adoptions. We foster and socialize whenever we have the resources to do so, including behavioral cats and kittens who might otherwise just be candidates for TNR.
