Meet Max, Brookhaven GA’s Most Cuddly & Loving Maine Coon Mix Cat For Adoption
Cat lovers know that no two cats have the same personality. While some cats can be aloof and somewhat unpredictable, Max is anything-but a standoffish feline. Max lives for human companionship. He is always himself, an incredibly friendly, super snuggly companion who seems to understand his person’s moods, and does his best to offer love and support always – particularly when you are feeling down. In one word, Max is amazing!
Max is a sensitive and very intelligent cat. He’s that rare breed of cat that loves to be talked to, sung to, and will always be close by if you need somebody to share your feelings with. Max had a couple of very scary incidents in his past (see below) that negatively affected his health. He once was attacked by a dog in his home and ended up with a broken jaw. His health deteriorated for a time, and he was unable to eat. Since then, he has struggled to keep his weight down. He currently weighs 22 pounds. He is doing fine now, but needs a quiet home where he can be an only pet. He is also on a special food that prevents weight gain and keeps his kidneys healthy.
Max’s owner loves him so much. She unfortunately suffers from an auto-immune disease that includes being extremely allergic to cats. Her doctor has strongly advised that she rehome Max or see her health continue to deteriorate. Obviously, this is not a decision she has reached easily, but she has no choice other than to find Max a new home. She is dearly hoping to find Max a home with someone who will appreciate Max’s unique personality and loving nature, who will cherish him, and who will keep him safe, happy and healthy for the rest of his life. She would love to keep in touch with Max in his new home.
If you have room in your heart and home for this 22 pound bundle of love and purrs, please offer Max a loving home today. He can’t wait to meet you and show you the true meaning of unconditional love. Adopt Max today.

All About Max- Maine Coon/Tuxedo Cat For Adoption in Brookhaven GA
Name of Pet: Max
Location: Brookhaven, GA, 30329
Type of Pet: Cat
Breed of Pet: Maine Coon Tuxedo Mix
Sex of Pet: Male
Age of Pet: 12
Spayed/Neutered?: Yes
Health Problems: No
Behavior Problems: No
HISTORY FOR REFERENCE:
Around 2011, Max had an a couple of bladder infections that led to me putting him on prescription food (the stuff you have to get from the vet that is high-sodium), but this also resulted in him gaining a fair amount of weight (he’s been 25 lbs at his heaviest, the vet says ideal weight is closer to 18 lbs)
In early 2014, Max had a series of traumatic experiences that ended up leading to fatty liver syndrome (had to temporarily stay with a dog that had some behavior issues and ended up having his jaw broken by that dog – a few weeks later, my partner and I moved into a smaller space with a rescue kitten we had been keeping separate previously, but the stress was too much and max stopped eating), and I ended up going through medical hell for 2 months or so where I fed him through a feeding tube, checked his heart out because they thought they heard a murmur, etc (it was all OK and nothing like that has been flagged since, they said it was likely due to the stress of fatty liver)
The end result was that we found the kitten a new home, and have since kept him on Natural Dehydrated food (The Honest Kitchen) to theoretically prevent further weight gain (although it’s been creeping up steadily no matter what I do, last vet visit in March he was 21-22 lbs) and to avoid any bladder issues.

Max’s Personality
* His snuggles!
* His intelligence (I speak to him in the same tone/words as I would a child I am explaining something to and he responds very well to this)
* His sweetness and compassion for sad humans (he goes straight to anyone who is crying and puts a paw on their leg – a favorite of my friends going through breakups)
* He is super chill – can get along in most kinds of environments and with almost any kind of person.
* His magnificent coat and bearing – max is very handsome and will use this to his advantage if you let him 🙂
Max’s Current Home Environment
Have lived in various environments over Max’s life as I got him during college, so it’s gone from larger houses with multiple humans/other pets, to a one-bedroom apartment on the third floor that is just me, and I’m not around as much as he needs.
I’ve also recently had to keep him out of my room due to health issues, and he honestly needs a bit more space than the rest of the house can offer (maine coon’s need a good amount to roam around in, but not necessarily something massive, an average 2 bedroom apartment would be fine). He has previously been allowed out onto the porch when we had a screened-in version at our old house, and I will let him out onto the patio of my current apartment occasionally since we live on the 3rd floor, BUT – beyond that, he has NEVER been an outdoor cat and I would prefer it stay that way if possible (especially in the city)
Max’s Current Family:
Used to be me and my long-time boyfriend for the majority of Max’s life (ages 2-10), now it’s just me (early thirties, single, not much going on at my house and I’m away at work most of the time)
Max’s Favorite Toys, Foods, Activities?
SNUGGLING! Sleeping next to you, playing with his rainbow toy, hanging out on a patio if you will let him (but not all the way “outside”).
His only food (for medical reasons) is The Honest Kitchen, but he LOVES anything fish-flavored for paw paste or treats when he can get it (not often due to his weight)
Cute Max Story:
Max is the most sensitive, intelligent cat I have ever been around, to the point where my house is considered a good place to go when friends are dealing with breakups because he will go straight to anyone crying and lean next to them or look up and put a paw on their leg.
He understands quite a lot of what you are saying and can be “reasoned with” once he feels his complaint has been heard.
Also – back when we had a screened-in porch and two front doors (a main one that didn’t lock properly and a metal grate on top of that), I left for the store once, thinking I had locked the metal grate door. Apparently I was wrong, and came back 45mins later to see Max sitting on the exact edge of the patio with his two front paws crossed over the threshold to the stairs, which he could have easily jumped down on and run away from! I say this to illustrate that he is VERY intelligent and is very good about following “the rules” in terms of where he can go (unless it has something to do with human food, there is no power great enough that can compel him not to try to eat it if he thinks you will not notice).
Why is Max Being Rehomed?
I’ve dealt with extensive health and autoimmune issues for the past 12 years, and have had increasingly worsening symptoms that have affected my ability to work over the past year or two – this past June, I was advised by my doctor that many of these issues are due to me being EXTREMELY allergic to cats (as in, literally-off-the-charts allergic) and that I need to find another home for him ASAP.
Max’s Perfect Adoptive Home Will Be:
Someone who can appreciate all of the snuggles and love that Max has to give! He is much more social and in need of human company than the average cat, and would do very well in homes with more than one human who can give him attention (he was clearly very sad when my last partner and I parted ways).
I’d prefer a home that is not brand-new to cats and understands their body language/acclimation process – he could also be a great fit for anyone who wants the companionship of a canine but doesn’t necessarily have the time to take them out for walks as Max was raised by a Rottweiler and is very much a “dog-cat” in many ways.
It would be great if the new family had previous experience with cats but did not currently have other mammal pets given Max’s traumatic experiences with them, but this is NOT a deal-breaker at all as Max has previously gotten along very well with other cats and dogs. Would also prefer that any kids be older if possible just since he probably wouldn’t know what to do with loud, unpredictable toddlers, but again – happy to meet anyone who is really interested and see how it goes.
Additional Comments:
I may have included way more information than you wanted on the application form, but obviously I just care a lot about this cat and want to be totally honest so he can go to the best possible home.
Apart from the food stuff and my caution over having him around other animals/kids simply due to his past experiences (NOT because he is in any way aggressive), he is the Perfect Cat and gentleman and I am pre-emptively envious of whoever gets to keep him. I’ve had several friends (many of whom don’t like cats at all as a rule) tell me that he is their favorite and/or the best cat ever, so just clarifying that this isn’t just my opinion 🙂
I keep crying when I think about needing to give him up, and am not sure if it’s a good idea for my own sanity to keep in touch/see him again after re-homing, but it would be nice to know if the new owners would be open to that or not.
