My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

** $210 in pledges for rescue that pulls **

Evelyn ACCT-A-139661 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to behavioral concerns. Evelyn must have confirmed placement with an ADOPTER, FOSTER, or RESCUE PARTNER by THURSDAY, AUGUST 17TH at 10AM. Should Evelyn's medical or behavioral status change, her urgency and timeline for placement may also change.

Due to being significantly overcapacity with dogs and cats and higher than usual intake, extensions are unlikely to be granted. If you are interested in an animal please contact ACCT Philly immediately.

Due to limited space, timestamps may also be proceeded with early so it is imperative to let us know if you are considering adopting or tagging a dog or cat.

Beautiful girl Evelyn is a sassy feline in search of an adopter who will stick by her through thick and thin! Evelyn was abandoned in front of the shelter on June 5th, 2023, so sadly not much is known about her past. However, she is optimistic she'll find that one special adopter, foster, or rescue to take a chance on her and give her a second shot at life beyond the shelter walls.

With her unknown back story, Evelyn would benefit from a quiet, calm household where she can slowly acclimate to her new home and family on her own terms. Currently, Evelyn does not enjoy being handled or petted, and prefers to keep to herself with lots of personal space! Adopters or foster parents comfortable with more aloof, independent cats may be the best fit for this pretty tabby girl.

Evelyn is estimated to be three years old, and has been fully vaccinated and spayed. At the time of her spay on 6/6/23, staff noted her ears were a bit dirty, but that overall she appeared in good health.

On 7/23, staff noted: Evelyn is calm in her kennel and sitting on the highest shelf. She did not appear fearful or stressed when I entered the room, but hissed when I walked up to her kennel and put my hand up. Would benefit from quiet foster home or adopter willing to give her space to decompress!

On 8/13, staff noted: When approached, Evelyn was sitting calmly on the lowest level of her kennel. She watched me closely, but didn't hiss or react until I opened her kennel door. She then hissed and began to growl. As long as you give her space, she seems fine with you being in the room with her - just gets a little feisty when her kennel is opened.

Confirmed placement is considered confirmation of an actual rescue pull. Possible placement, interested parties, and other "TBD" statuses are not considered confirmed and do not indicate an animal is no longer urgent.
