Max's House Animal Rescue, originally known only as "The Cat Guys from Fordham", was established in 1963 in the Bronx, NY in order to help animals primarily in the Fordham, Belmont, & Grand Concourse sections of the Bronx, where there were no city supported animal welfare organizations other than AC&C, which primarily only euthanized stray and feral cats. The group's founder moved to Ridgewood, New Jersey in 1985 and incorporated as Max's House Animal Rescue, Inc. in 1999 in tribute to a dearly loved deceased cat.

Since our inception in 1963 we have rescued and homed over 23,500 cats. Many of those cats were rescued from municipal and county animal shelters where they were scheduled to be killed when the statutory 7-day holding period expired. Many of those cats were rescued literally minutes before they were going to be killed. Many were victims of abuse, neglect, and abandonment. Some were thrown from moving vehicles or tossed into dumpsters like trash. We have also and spayed, neutered, and vaccinated over 12,500 feral cats in an effort to humanely reduce the free roaming cat population and reduce the systematic killing of feral cats.

Thousands of beautiful, loving animals are put to death daily in shelters and thousands more suffer horribly in laboratories, pounds and on the street. We are dedicated to saving as many of these unfortunate souls as possible. These victims are rescued, given medical care, spayed & neutered and cared for by our volunteers until suitable homes are found for them. This vital life-saving work is critical for these unfortunate animals since their only crime is to be born unwanted or abandoned.

It is our mission to prevent cruelty, promote spay/neuter, promote Trap Neuter & Return (TNR) to reduce the free roaming population and to encourage awareness through education, while also teaching respect for all animals and the environment in which they live.

And now a few words from the President of Max's House....

Hi! I'm Jade. I'm alive today because someone cared enough to get  me vaccinated when I was little. But my best friend Max wasn't vaccinated and died when he was only 10 weeks old of a horrible disease called panleukopenia. It destroys all the white blood cells and makes us get very sick and die. Many of us kittens that get this disease die, but it can be prevented by vaccinations. There are many other terrible diseases like feline leukemia that can't be cured either, but can be prevented by vaccinations. 

                                                                 Max
I'm so sad about Max. He was so sweet and really smart. He didn't have  to die. A few dollars for vaccinations would have saved his life. Every  year thousands of kittens who never get a chance at life die of these  terrible diseases because small pet adoption centers and shelters just don't have enough money to vaccinate all of us.   

                                 Hears how we all can help...

Send me a picture of your pet along with a small donation and I'll put his/her picture here in Max's House as a sponsor.  All the money we raise together will be used to vaccinate pets in small  adoption centers and shelters. We can't save them all, but if each of us  can save just one or two,   together we will  have saved many who otherwise would die a painful agonizing, and  UNNECESSARY death.

                                Thank you with all my heart,

Jade
