Kevin the Terrible

Considering adopting? The first step is to complete our online Adoption Application at http://forgetmenotshelter.org/application<br/><br/>Please do not call the shelter; do the application first.<br/><br/>Much like his historical namesake Ivan, Kevin the Terrible rules with confidence, contradiction, and a very strong opinion about personal space.<br/><br/>With his unique ear (the result of a major hematoma) and expressive meows, he’s got a look and personality that are all his own.<br/><br/>Kevin believes he is a human who has been temporarily inconvenienced by having four legs. He enjoys supervising your activities, judging your life choices, and demanding affection - but only on his schedule. When pleased, he is wonderfully affectionate. When displeased… well, let’s just say he is not afraid to express himself with a warning nibble or slash. (Ivan had tantrums too.)<br/><br/>Personality Highlights:<br/><br/>Affectionate… sometimes.<br/><br/>Bitey… sometimes. (Balance is important.)<br/><br/>Absolutely convinced he belongs at the table, not under it.<br/><br/>Tolerates other cats like a ruler tolerates distant nobles: politely, suspiciously, and from across the room.<br/><br/>Loyal to his people, dramatic about everything.<br/><br/>Kevin would likely benefit from an indoor-outdoor lifestyle or a nice big catio, and several rousing wand-toy sessions per day to help him work out his energies. We feel he is a bit frustrated by his shelter captivity, which increases his sporadic cranky moments.<br/><br/>We don't recommend Kevin for children, and the other cats in his cat room tend to give him the side-eye, wondering if he's in his calm mood or his cranky mood, so he may do best as an only kitty for a smart cat whisperer.<br/><br/>Kevin is not for the faint of heart, but for the right adopter, he is a legend. He wants a home that understands that love can come with boundaries, attitude, and the occasional coup attempt.<br/><br/>If you’ve ever thought, “I’d like a cat with the personality of a small, grumpy medieval ruler,” Kevin the Terrible may be your perfect match.<br/><br/>Adopt Kevin. Survive Kevin. Love Kevin. (If you dare)<br/><br/>His video shows the whole range of his moods.<br/><br/><br/>All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Kevin the Terrible is a suggested minimum of $50 (more gratefully accepted). All pets are placed with a 30-day money-back trial period, to give pet and family enough time to discover any unknown allergies or other conflicts.<br/><br/>Can't come to Republic? Don't let that stop you! We have monthly transports to the Seattle area, delivering adopted pets to their new owners. If you can add a little to your donation to help us cover our volunteer driver's expenses, that would be great!
