Max is a 16-year-old Domestic Shorthair cat in Slaton, TX, who needs $367 for anal sac flush.

I had taken my bird to the vet for a check up and here was this big brown striped tabby cat with mesmerizing green eyes . He was like the spitting image of a cat I had for 18 years. . I sat my birds carrier down on counter and picked this cat up and hugged him. The vet said he thought this kitty must really like me because he was purring and I had him snuggled against me with his head on my shoulder. Doc said he hates to be picked up. He still does but I found a way to do it that doesn’t hurt him and he trusts me . I was crying because he was so much like my kitty who recently passed away, The vet and I talked while tending to my bird’s needs. This kitty had been declawed then surrendered to the clinic. He had been trying to go outside and the entire staff was concerned since he had no claws. I said I want him and my vet talked w other vets and I got to keep him. When we got home he walked out of carrier like he had lived in our home forever. He has such a seeet personality a lot different from my kitty he resembles so closely. Every cat is different but every cat knows when they find their special person. Shortly after I got him in June, he came down with calicivirus and I almost lost him, but after 7 days in hospital he made it . Max is my heart he is with me all the time. I recently was diagnosed with dermatomyositis and lupus. Max sits on or by me whenever I sit . He sleeps under covers in my arms. My husband loves him as much as I do.
