Maxine

Maxine came to us from a KY cat rescue, KY Kitty Cats. She is an absolute sweetheart and LOVES people, attention and LOVE! She is super playful... just try cleaning her room without her "help"! She became a fast favorite among staff, volunteers and visitors! She does wonderful with other kitties, but due to her being positive for FeLV (see below for more info), she may need to be an only kitty.... she's okay with that! Maxine is marked as "special needs" because she is positive for the feline leukemia virus (FeLV). This does NOT impact her lovingness, playfulness or adoptability, as you can see she is gorgeous, outgoing and healthy! However, she should go to a home with either no other cats or a home with other FeLV positive cats. FeLV does not infect dogs, humans or other species, only cats. There is a lot of information on the internet about FeLV, but not all of it is accurate or up to date. To learn more, we recommend starting with the Alley Cat Allies white papers to veterinarians FeLV Fact Sheet: https://www.alleycat.org/resources/feline-leukemia-virus-felv/. If you're ready to make Maxine a new member of your family, please fill out an adoption form from our website https://animalrefugecenter.org/adoption-application/ or hit the inquiry button and we'll be in touch!
