Max's Story

Max (about 9 months old as of 3/13/2026) is a neutered male brown tabby tuxedo long haired kitten. Max was trapped with his littermates as a newly weaned kitten hiding under a deck in Waukegan. They were a little feral but tamed up nicely and now only know life as pampered indoor kitties. Max is growing up to be a sweet little cuddle bug. He loves to be cradled against your shoulder and have his back gently patted like he's your little baby. He adores attention and will get a little competitive with other cats if they are getting attention and he's not. When he's not focused on getting all the love he's a typical energetic kitten that loves to play chasing games with his sister and any adult cats that will let him, knock around some little toys, and chase the red dot endlessly. He gets along well with other cats and would do best adopted along with his sister Gidget or to a home with a playful cat looking for a big fluffy playmate. He hasn't lived with dogs but it's possible he could learn to love a cat-experienced dog.

Spay and Stay's Adoption Policy
If you think you might be interested in one of our cats please fill out our adoption application at https://www.spayandstay.org/cat-adoption/.  We will then work with you to ensure a good match and can arrange a meeting with the kitty or kitties you are most interested in.  We require a small donation as an adoption fee that varies depending on the age of the cat or kitten and offer a "bulk discount" for adopters willing to take on more than one kitty. Adult cats over 1 year- $80, Kittens 6 months - 1 year- $100; $175 for a pair. Kittens under 6 months- $125; $225 for 2, or $325 for 3 kittens. The adoption fee in each case includes the cat being spayed or neutered, up to date on FVRCP and rabies vaccines, microchipped, dewormed, and tested for FIV and FeLV. Because pet adoption is not our primary mission we have no central animal shelter and rely solely on a network of volunteer foster homes to house and socialize our adoptable cats.  While we don't have one convenient location to come and meet all of our available cats at once our individual foster parents get to work very closely with each kitty and can speak to what they are like in a home environment. We always take our kitties back if things aren't working out after a little time so we're passionate about helping you find the right match.
