Max is a 13-year-old Mixed Breed in Los Angeles, CA, who needs $500 for Bloodwork, Urinalysis, Physical Exam and Possible Medications.

I got my boy when he was an 8 wk old scared feral kitten, in the summer of 2010. He became the most loving, funny, sweet boy within a week, and still remains the same except for his age. So far he’s lived a great life-growing up with his big sister Matilda who’s no longer with us. I rescued another kitten who’s 6, and Max loves being a big brother to her even though she may not feel the same!lol

It’s only me. He’s super trustworthy with me and loves cuddling, eating and playing. He’s not crazy about men for some reason but loves the few women in my life. He doesn’t have a mean bone in him! Lately he’s been sleeping in the bathroom, which concerns me.

Watching him play still makes me crack up! Especially now that he’s a big brother to our younger cat, Clementine. He tries so hard to act tough but fails miserably lol. Honestly at night just watching him do his thing puts a smile on my face.

I noticed looking back that he was demanding more and more food throughout the day, and has much larger urines in the box. But these last 3-5 months he started sleeping in the bathroom, is loosing weight when he’s a big boy and gets spouts of energy off and on. He started throwing up blood over the weekend, and yesterday, and isn’t eating much. I think it’s hyperthyroidism. I’d like to take him to-Los Angeles Veterinary Center. I don’t know which vet he’ll see yet as I have no $

I’m awaiting SSI. Max’s age is showing + it breaks my heart. If I could get him diagnosed with something that can be treated with meds to give him 1-4 more happy yrs of life, that would be a true blessing! I don’t have kids-he’s my child
