This week’s WGBR Pet of the Week powered by Jackson & Sons, features Maddox, a handsome tabby cat whose affectionate personality is winning over everyone he meets as he searches for a forever family.
Maddox is a two-year-old neutered male with a short, smooth black, white, and tan coat. His stunning golden eyes, long tail, and impressive 11-pound frame make him a striking presence at the shelter.
While Maddox can be a little timid when meeting new people, shelter staff say it doesn’t take long for his true personality to shine through.
“If you’re looking for a best friend, Maddox may be your guy,” the staff said. “A true people magnet, he’s known for offering kitty hugs and soaking up attention. He has a gift for making everyone feel special—and he’s just waiting for someone to return the favor.”
Once he feels comfortable, Maddox enjoys affection and spending time with people, making him an ideal companion for a family or individual looking for a loving feline friend.
Maddox is fully vetted and ready to begin the next chapter of his life in a loving home. Shelter staff hopes his future family will soon discover the joy and companionship he has to offer.
Maddox is currently available for adoption through Wayne County Animal Services. Prospective adopters are encouraged to visit the shelter to meet him in person and see if he is the perfect fit for their household.
The adoption fee at Wayne County Animal Services is $65 and includes age-appropriate vaccinations, spay or neuter services, and a microchip.
With his loving nature, striking appearance, and talent for making people smile, Maddox is more than just a pet—he’s a best friend waiting to happen.
