Male Cat, Domestic Short Hair

Description:
*This animal is located at our same-day adoption center partner, Coon Rapids PetSmart. Please contact this location prior to visiting to ensure this animal is still available. A paper adoption application will be completed on site so please do not submit an online adoption application. For more information on adopting from one of our adoption center partners, please visit our Adoption Center Animals page. My name is Max and I was catnapped from a mechanic shop. My foster says she rescued me but I think I would have had a great career as a mechanic! I can be a little shy at first but once I’m comfortable I love to play with fuzzy balls or especially the ones with bells! I'm not too fond of loud noises, but I am fond of sunbathing as the light shines through the window. And ... I'm an explorer at heart. I love other cats and I don’t mind dogs. I like people, too, I just need to make sure they are cool first. Maximov is from Houston, TX. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals. Want to adopt a kitten? We highly recommend you consider bringing home two instead of one! Adopting kittens in pairs has been proven to be beneficial for cats’ emotional and behavioral well-being and greatly improves the likelihood of long-term adopter happiness as a result. Adopting more than one kitten also reduces the risk of “Single Kitten Syndrome” (also known as Tarzan Syndrome), a symptom of under-socialization during a kitten’s most formative weeks. Kittens who are under-socialized may develop aggressive tendencies toward both other animals and humans as they grow, creating lifelong behavioral issues for owners.
