Evie

Our sweet Evie passed in late October of 2025. She started dragging her rear legs the day before and when our vet examined her, she found her femur was broken. It was very shocking as she wasn't a very active girl. Our vet felt she likely broke it due to severe osteoarthritis. We thought amputating her leg might be the solution but her remaining leg wasn't strong enough to support her. It was also badly arthritic. We never want a kitty to be suffering so we made the decision to let her pass while she was sedated.

Evie and her sister, Luna, were the last of a large group of cats and kittens rescued from a horrible hoarding situation in Austin, Texas. While all the other cats were adopted, Evie became too stressed at the shelter and began losing all her fur. She was simply terrified. We tried to adopt her out but she became overly stressed and started to lose hair again and shut down. With no other options, she came to live with us at the Sanctuary.

Evie was a quiet and sweet girl - a little shy and timid but oh so sweet. She was often found hiding under the covers on the couch. Evie always had a startled look--those beautiful eyes were so expressive. She was probably the most mellow cat at the Sanctuary (unless you had treats, then all bets were off!). Fly free beautiful girl. We'll miss you forever. Till we meet again.
