Adopt Maximus

Male · Kitten · 8 months

Meet this stunning young boy Maximus, who is looking for a 🏠 in the UK Age : 8 months old Neuter status : Yes Weight : 3.1 kg Rescue Story in brief as told by his rescuer Amy: “Maximus deserves his chance… I still remember the moment I found him. I was feeding cats in the Sharjah Industrial Area when I heard the sound behind me… a truck running over him and the sickening noises that followed. Before I could even turn properly, he ran, frightened and in pain, into a labour camp nearby. I followed him, picked him up, and rushed him to the vet. Maximus had suffered severe injuries. His pelvis was broken on both sides. It was the kind of trauma many do not survive. Due of his young age, surgery was not the first option. He was placed on strict cage rest, and slowly, patiently, he began to heal. He did slowly heal. Today, Maximus is a survivor in every sense of the word. He is fully vaccinated, neutered, and tested negative for both FIV and FeLV. He gets along well with other cats and has shown nothing but a gentle, loving nature despite everything he has been through. He is incredibly affectionate. The kind of cat who seeks you out, who wants to be near you, who reminds you every day what resilience and trust truly look like. He would do beautifully in a home, even with children and other cats, given proper introduction. He has already lived alongside other cats here in the UAE and has adapted well. Yet, despite everything, Maximus remains without a home. The truth is, his breed—an Arabian Mau—is often overlooked. He does not fit the image many people search for. But what he offers goes far beyond appearance. He offers loyalty, companionship, and a quiet kind of love that only animals who have survived hardship seem to give so freely. He has already fought to live. He has already proven his strength. All he needs now is someone to choose him. If you can open your heart and home to Maximus, you will not just be giving him a second chance… you will be gaining a companion who will love you deeply and unconditionally. He is in very good health.” Temperament details : Very loving and affectionate, we can provide videos of this for anyone who is interested. He has limited exposure to a senior GSD, this could be worked on with a calm dog. His travel costs are covered and he needs collection from a cattery near to Heathrow. Adoption fee £200.00

About Maximus

What life with Maximus looks like

Maximus is a small puppy/kitten cat waiting at Miracle in United Kingdom.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Maximus, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maximus?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Miracle handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Maximus on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Maximus if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Miracle will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Maximus already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Maximus isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Miracle early rather than rehoming privately; they know Maximus and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
