EVAN "BUCK" BUCKELY (named after a character in 911 ), and his sister MADDIE KENDALL were rescued from a drug rehabilitation center in Watts, California. Rescue mama was visiting her brother and discovered all these cats breeding in the parking area! So she picked them up and with the help of another trapper, finished fixing all the cats. Now EVAN "BUCK" BUCKELY and his sister MADDIE KENDALL are all ready for their FUREVER home.
Meet EVAN "BUCK" BUCKELY, a charming Maine Coon mix from Watts, California, whose striking orange and white fur is only matched by his gentle spirit and playful nature. EVAN "BUCK" BUCKELY may start off a little shy when you first meet him, but once he feels comfortable, his true personality shines through—full of curiosity, affection, and endless energy!
EVAN "BUCK" BUCKELY was found at a drug rehab center alongside his sister, where they were discovered looking for a safe space and a chance for a fresh start. Though Buck may take a moment to warm up to new faces, he has a heart full of love waiting to be shared. Once he gets to know you, he’ll happily accept your pets and offer you his soft purrs in return. Churru treats are his absolute favorite—there’s nothing he enjoys more than a tasty snack that makes him feel special!
As a Maine Coon, EVAN "BUCK" BUCKELY is set to grow into a big, majestic boy, and he’ll need plenty of space to stretch out and play. His playful nature means he’ll happily chase after toys, explore every nook and cranny, and bring joy to any room he’s in. He’s still getting the hang of things and will benefit from a gentle approach and some patience, but in the right environment, EVAN "BUCK" BUCKELY will flourish into a loving and playful companion.
EVAN "BUCK" BUCKELY would thrive in a quiet, loving home where he can feel secure and slowly build his confidence. His ideal family would be one that understands the beauty of slow introductions and who is ready to watch him grow into the magnificent Maine Coon he is destined to be.
Could you be the one to give this shy, sweet boy the loving home he needs? If you’re ready to watch EVAN "BUCK" BUCKELY grow and play, apply today and let the adventures begin!
