Evie is a 2 year and 10 month old female Domestic Short Hair with a striking tortoiseshell short coat, located in New York, NY. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and fully house trained. While her leg has healed perfectly, there’s a chance she might develop arthritis in adulthood, though she currently shows no issues. Evie does not get along with dogs but gets along well with cats and enjoys the company of energetic feline companions.

About Evie

Evie landed with Place For Cats after a rough start—she was originally surrendered with a fractured leg and never made it onto the city adoption list. Once in their care, Evie was checked out by the vet, and it turned out her break was already healing. Today, she's a lively, athletic cat who plays hard, explores anything she can squeeze into, and turns any bag or box into a nap zone. Evie might be prone to arthritis in her previously injured leg as she ages; while she has no mobility issues now, this could factor into her future care. Vets have said the chance is real but not certain—surgery is available if needed, though it could be costly. Anyone interested can review her medical records. Currently, Evie is healthy, tested negative for FeLV/FIV, spayed, up-to-date on shots, and microchipped. She prefers other playful cats for company—ideally a rambunctious neutered male, as she’s not much of a lap cat but does enjoy gentle pets and affection. Evie does not get along well with dogs. She thrives in a home with other spirited felines, is fully house trained, and her curious streak means she’ll make every nook her own. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, independent spirit who sometimes wants attention on her terms, she’s a good fit. Her birthday makes her a Cancer—no surprise she loves cozy hideouts.
