Everyone, I'd Like You to Meet Maddox

Yeah, and he's also responsible for me posting this photo of a cute guy and his cat.


(Because I needed to distract myself away from sad kitty thoughts.) ;-)

But, back to Maddox.

Naturally, my curiosity being piqued, once I got home from the shelter that night, I did a little Google searching of this handsome boy, who'd dramatically caught my eye. And that led to something unexpected - that I promptly verified through the SPCA*.

And, wouldn't you know? Guess who's curled up in a cat bed, on top of the people bed, in my bedroom?

Why, as a matter of fact, it's Maddox!

We're fostering him for the next four weeks!

So, stay tuned (he's not as fond of the dogs as the foster kittens were, in fact, he isn't fond of them at all; this is going to be interesting)...

*Turns out, Maddox has been a shelter resident for a few years (including at least one failed adoption). He is a senior, at 9 years, on a strict prescription urinary diet, has extra toes on his front feet, and is a little bossy. He has been in foster care a few times (to give him a break from the shelter) and, coincidentally (or not), was due to be placed in a foster home again when I inquired about him.

But, you know what? If you ask me, he's just a sweet purr box, who seems to want nothing more than to be near his humans (in a calm place) and to mooch as many head and neck rubs as possible. I guess I better get on it. :)

You all have a restful (and cool) weekend!

  2. Uh-huh, yeah. I'm going to go out on a limb and predict Maddox as a future failed foster :-)

  4. Maddox, I'm laying odds that your days as a foster are very, very numbered! I'll wait and save my congratulations for the official announcement, though. All those quirks you have just seem to make you more perfect for a certain household I've read about that has a couple of Corgis...

  7. Oh he's beautiful! FTR, I'm pretty sure most cats would be called "a little bossy". ;)

    Thank you so much for giving him a break from the shelter life.

  9. Ohhhh, someone already said the words "foster failure" so I think you're jinxed. I love that Richmond is no kill and would allow that great boy to find his way into your home for a few weeks of vacation. Have fun!
