Update on Maxamillionaire!

Update: Maxamillionaire was adopted into his forever family in March 2013!

Maxamillionaire is a very special boy that was taken in by Best Friend Animal Society (BFAS) in Utah when Toronto Cat Rescue was unable to find him his forever home (read his story here).  Although Max is still seeking his forever family, we wanted to share with you an update on the little fellow as he has touched so many of our hearts.  He is very happy in Utah, but hopefully soon he will have his very own family to cuddle with.

Check out his video – please share with any potential adopters you may know.

Best Friends Animal Society is a nonprofit organization building no-kill programs and partnerships that will bring about a day when there are No More Homeless Pets. At the core of Best Friends’ work is the dream that one day kindness will replace cruelty and animals will no longer be destroyed because they are unwanted or imperfect. Spaying and neutering will be the rule for all pets and adoption will be the first option for everyone. Making this dream a reality is the mission we call No More Homeless Pets. The society’s leading initiatives in animal care and community programs are coordinated from its Kanab, Utah, headquarters, the country’s largest no-kill sanctuary. This work is made possible by the personal and financial support of a grassroots network of supporters and community partners across the nation. For more information, visit http://www.bestfriends.org.
