Hi, I’m Max. I may be a little older, but I still have so much love to give. I was living peacefully in a garden in Athens, cared for by a kind lady named Marialena. Then things changed—I went into kidney failure. That’s when she brought me in and made sure I got the help I needed. Now I’m safe, stable, and ready to find my forever home.

​

At first, I can be a bit shy. I need time to come out of my shell, especially around new people and environments. But once I feel comfortable, I become a total cuddle bug. I love affection—head rubs, back scratches, even butt scratches—I’m here for it all. I’m not really into toys or playing much anymore, but cuddling and napping? That’s my jam.

​

I’m pretty laid back. I spend most of my time lounging in my safe little hideaway spots and especially love the quiet of the afternoon. I like calm people and peaceful environments. Loud noises and sudden movements still make me a little uneasy, but once I know you’re gentle, I’ll warm up quickly.

​

I’ve got a couple of health things you should know about—I’m FIV positive and have chronic kidney failure, so I eat a special renal diet (I love canned food pâté!) and take renal supplements to help keep me feeling good. I had stomatitis in the past and had lots of teeth removed, but I’m doing well now. I also love liquid treats!

​

I haven’t made any close cat friends at the shelter just yet, but I haven’t caused any trouble either. I’d be fine as a solo cat or with calm companions as I don’t really mind sharing my room with laid back personalities like mine. I’m a big talker—I like to let you know I’m around, especially when I want cuddles.

​

If you’re looking for a quiet, loving companion who’ll appreciate every gentle pet and warm place to nap, I might be the one for you. I still have a lot of love left to share—could it be with you?
