About Kitten Max (Tabby) in Sussex

Kitten Max is waiting for you at Critter Companion Rescue in Sussex, NJ 07461. Meet Max! This handsome little guy was rescued from the streets of North Nashville in mid-November by a kind-hearted young man who regularly cares for local cat colonies. When he spotted this little kitten, he set a humane trap and safely brought him in out of harm’s way. At the time, Max was estimated to be only about six weeks old.

Just two days before rescuing Max, the same rescuer had trapped another kitten believed to be his sister or cousin, Mia. The two have stayed together ever since and enjoy playing and keeping each other company. Their foster mom gradually introduced them to a larger kitty room where they now share space with three older cats. The room is filled with fun wall shelves, cozy beds, scratching posts, and cat towers that create the perfect playground and obstacle course. The many cubbies make excellent hiding spots for games of hide-and-seek. It has been wonderful watching both Max and Mia blossom into more confident, trusting kittens. These former street babies needed a little time to figure out how to play, but now they’re making up for it! Crinkle balls and fuzzy toy balls are definite favorites - you’ll often see them batting toys across the room. Max is also very fond of wand toys and loves trying to catch those “flying fish.” Are Max and Mia inseparable? Not necessarily. They often enjoy their own space, and it’s common to find them relaxing in different parts of the kitty room. Sometimes Max can be found stretched out on a wall bed, quietly observing the world. I jokingly call him “Mad Max” because he occasionally has such a serious expression! He’s definitely an obse
