A medical crisis turned senior Max’s life upside down when his lifetime owner became too ill to care for his special needs.

Max has a motility disorder, which is an abnormality resulting from conditions that disrupt the normal emptying of the stomach through the gastrointestinal tract. Our veterinarians put Max on a regimen of several medications and a special diet. With a plan in place, he’s ready to get the golden retirement he deserves. Despite the challenges Max has faced, he relishes new human friendships and keeps busy with the toys he so enjoys. Thank you for sponsoring Max!

A donation to our Pet Sponsorhip Program will provide Max, and all our Sponsor animals, with a lifetime of compassionate care.

2025 Updates

November 2025

IN MEMORIAM MAX – As his Sponsors were informed, beloved Max passed away over the summer. His caregivers (and his many friends on staff) had noted a marked decline late in the spring, yet his fighting spirit was with him to the very end. In the Feline Care Home, we made sure he was surrounded by much love and comfort. Max was lucky to have found himself in the Pet Sponsorship Program, and we felt privileged to have him here.

July 2025

Max, our senior sweetheart, is currently living comfortably in our Feline Care Home, while he waits for a family to call his own. He’s receiving the medical attention he needs for chronic colonic inflammation, and lots of nurturing. Max would love to find a quiet home or a foster family, but in the meantime is enjoying dozing on the catio, thanks to his amazing Sponsors!

March 2025

Max has struggled with some significant health issues, but fortunately this handsome senior remains happy and content in his private room in our Feline Care Home. With a catio to soak up the sun and a rocking chair for his guests to sit in while they dispense his cherished ear rubs, he’s enjoying every moment. And thanks to the generosity of his Sponsors, Max will be able to live out his remaining days surrounded by comfort, love and peace.

November 2024

Max was among the first to move into our newly renovated Feline Care Home in June, where he enjoys a private room and catio to soak up the sun. He eagerly awaits his caretakers in his rocking chair for those cherished ear rubs. Max loves his bee wand toy, which needs constant replacing, and his pompom retrieval skills are top-notch. Though his health issues persist, familiar surroundings and a special diet are bringing him comfort.

June 2024

Max is still waiting patiently for a home, after his lifelong owner became unable to care for him due to illness. Though he requires specialized medical treatment for his chronic colonic inflation, our veterinary team has a plan in place to keep him comfortable. With the generous support of his Sponsors, we are working tirelessly to find Max a foster home, where his gentle nature will be appreciated and where he can have all the affection he deserves.

February 2024

Max had his life turned upside down when his lifetime owner became too ill to care for Max’s special needs. Max needed medical attention as well and has spent time with our vets who’ve put a plan in place to help him live better with his chronic colonic inflation. Support from his wonderful Sponsors will help find Max a foster home – or a purrmanent one – to provide our wonderful gentleman with the life he has truly deserved all along.

November 2023

Max had an extended summer vacation with his shelter medical team and was eager to catch up with his old friends back in his “home base” of our Feline Care Home. Further collaboration with medical specialists about his precarious gastrointestinal issues has armed our vets with great information being used to provide maximum comfort for Max. He couldn’t be happier to flop over and show his belly as his way of saying he trusts his humans and knows he’s in great hands.
