Lahmia Mareeal Marano received a message from her friend who works at a vet clinic along with a photo of a 16-year-old cat named Maxx staring directly at her. A friend told her that the owner of Maxx came to the clinic and asked for the pet to be put down, even though it was completely healthy. Vets were desperately trying to find the furry new home to save him from a cruel fate.
Because sometimes the best things in life aren't planned at all
I learned that if Maxx does not find a home, it will be put to sleep at the request of the owner. I just couldn't let that happen, so the next day I got in my car and went to get it. – says Lahmia Mareeal Marano.
Lahmia Mareeal Marano did not plan to adopt another cat, but she felt something magical about Maxx and knew that she had to help him. Sometimes the best things in life aren't planned at all …
Time to go home
When I met Maxx, he was very upset but i also think he realized i was there to save him. I knew it had to be mine. – said Lahmia Mareeal Marano.
While Maxx was confused by everything that happened, as soon as he met his new mom, he calmed down immediately. It was as if he knew she would take him home. And that's what happened.
“I love you so much”
When Maxx was left after first brought to a vet's office, his previous owner had a list of complaints about him, but since Lahmia Marano took him home, he was very gentle and loved. He has had no trouble adjusting to his new surroundings, and his favorite pastime is to follow his new mom and constantly remind her of how much he loves her.
Maxx settled very quickly and soon found his favorite spot: the sink. He's very chatty and sometimes we even have full conversations. I think he understands well that he is safe with me. He follows me and stands guard while I shower. He did this on his first day at home. – says Lahmia Mareeal Marano.
It was supposed to be like this
When Lahmia Marano first got a message from her friend, she had no idea it would end up adopting a 16-year-old cat – but now she is extremely happy it did. A woman can no longer imagine her life without Maxx.
Maxx is a real blessing, and I believe it was meant to be. – added Lahmia Mareeal Marano.
