This here FABULOUS feline is Everett - seriously, fabulous. But he has a tale to tell and it's a sad one. However, we are hopeful that we can change his story to one with a happy ending. Let's see if we can change this boy's future in the quick, shall we...

Everett was born here at our facility to a mom that we rescued from a local farm - we helped 20+ cats from that farm and every one of them has been grateful that we did, Everett included. And Everett was adopted and we had such high hopes for him being loved on forever - to our dismay, that did not happen. In fact, Everett was abandoned - outside, and very far from the place he thought was his home. He was out on his own in the cold, scrounging for food, and very, very scared. Thankfully, a very kind person saw Everett near a dumpster, scooped him up, and took him to their local human society where he was scanned for a microchip, which eventually led him back to us. Our sweet, charming Evie was in bad shape, but he was safe. It took several months for our boy to regain the weight he lost, vet check-ups were done to ensure his progress, and a dental was performed to extract his broken teeth (which likely occurred from trying to eat anything and everything he could find). But today, we are happy to report that Evie is happy, healthy, and ready to find a new home - and this time, we pray he lands with someone who will value his worth and love him forever and ever!

So, let's talk about our boy and just how fabulous he is. Everett is the sweetest cat with tons of personality and charm. He loves to flop down at your feet, will play with your fingers and hair, will weave between your legs, and will rub on your cheeks. And yeah, that might not be for everyone, but if you're the hands-on kind of pet owner that likes a lot of interaction with your pets, Everett's your guy. He likes toys, will chase lasers, bats at feathers and wrestles with his kitty friends. He's a social fella but not overly vocal. He's great with kids of all ages and doesn't seem too bothered by well-behaved dogs.

Everett does have one physical characteristic that needs to be mentioned so it's not a surprise when you meet him (and we know you want to!) - he has a bit of a wobble in back end when walking/running. He has a swagger - and it's cute. We're not really sure what caused this and our vets have no concerns over it. As a small kitten this swagger was not seen - it appeared quickly as he approached the age of neutering and has remained the same since. There are no physical or mechanical reasons for it - skeletally and muscularly, everything seems in check. It does not affect him in any way significantly - he uses the litterbox without issues, plays normally, runs, jumps and climbs as any other cat would (although climbing isn't done as quickly as he has to carry that wobbly back end up with him). Really, it's a non-issue but it would catch you off guard had we not mentioned it. He also has one characteristic that is likely due to the trauma he experienced when he was abandoned - he is afraid of storms, and he will run and hide when there is an active storm in progress. He allows comforting during these times, which is good - but how awful that he has been through something so traumatic to cause this fear. In time we believe he will overcome this but he'll need some extra loving until he gets there. So, you see, Everett is just like we said - FABULOUS! He's one special fella and we are so proud of him - he's a survivor and a fighter. What's not to love!

If you've read this far, you owe it to yourself to come in and meet him. We know you won't be disappointed. Please give our sweet boy a chance to love you.

Everett's DOB is 4/11/2021.
