Kitten (6 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 4 mi from Fair Oaks

Max is playful, snuggly, and sweet. She is often a bit apprehensive of new environments and experiences, but once she feels safe, she loves to snuggle, purr, and play. She loves to sit on her foster mom's lap while she's working on her laptop or watching a show and gives the best purrs when she feels safe. Max would do best in a quiet home as an only cat or with another calm cat. She loves people and interacts nicely with other cats, but can get overwhelmed with multi-cat environments and is happy to entertain herself. Loud noises can be particularly scary for her, so a home without dogs or young children would be the best fit. She truly is such a sweetheart and comes running to the door to greet her foster mom with the most melodic meows when she comes home. If you want a snuggly, loving, and curious kitten who also has a calm sense of independence, Max is your girl!

Adopting a cat in Fair Oaks

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
