Gone 10-10-2015 Brooklyn
***GONE 10/10/15***MAX is a handsome and mellow gray cat who was brought into the shelter because his owner couldn’t afford to pay for his medical care. He is described as both 7 years old and 15 years old. Poor MAX has some dental problems and stomach issues. He is in need of a foster or home who could get him some good vet care to make sure he’s healthy and happy. Even though he’s not feeling so great, he’s open to affection. MAX is a friendly guy who just needs some TLC to get him back on his feet!! You can be MAX’s kitty angel, so he doesn’t die today on the euthanasia list at the shelter. This elegant senior guy would make a wonderful pet! This guy is simply precious!! Be MAX’s success story today!!
