"Max is a new addition to our antique shop, Shannons in Centralia, Washington. He has been with us for about 3 months. Max is a beautiful orange and white tabby. He is the new crowned prince of our downtown. He is a cat that I got at the animal shelter and is about 3 years old. He was skin and bones, but now I am happy to report that he is a butterball. He is the sweetest cat I have ever known! He loves to be loved and will sit in your lap or around your neck for hours. He is quite a hit with the customers. I never know who will bring him to the counter. He loves everyone. I have been amazed at how tender people are with him. I have people who just come to visit Max!!!! He has been pure Joy."
