Vizzini : No more rhymes now, I mean it.
Fezzik : Anybody want a peanut?
-- The Princess Bride (1987)
Meet Fezzik, one of our resident gentle giants! He was surrendered to us alongside another kitty after the pair was found in a man's barn. The other kitty's family came to claim him, but sadly no one came for Fezzik.
He didn't let him get it down, though - he was just happy not to be eating mice anymore. This boy makes sure to lick his plate clean every meal. Wet food, dry food, treats - this boy will gobble it all down in five seconds flat. Don't let his appetite fool you, though - there's not an ounce of fat on this big boy. He's all muscle.
Fezzik is a quiet, chill sweetheart. We just can't get enough of his big tomcat cheeks - and he loves the scritches, so it's a match made in heaven. He has a lot of scars on his face and neck from his time outdoors, and they must get itchy, because he loves for us to massage them. He also loves having his ears scratched.
Something surprising about this big boy is his tail - or lack thereof! Fezzik has no tail to speak of, which makes him look like a little black bear cub, especially when he gets the zoomies and does a quick dash across the center.
Another surprising thing is that for such a big, battle-scarred cat, Fezzik is actually quite timid around others. His first few times running around, he wedged himself into a corner and hid. He would come out if we sat down and spoke to him, but he went right back in as soon as any cat came to check him out. He was never aggressive with any of the cats who wanted to make friends, only timid. He has the cutest little mew when he's uncertain and looking for reassurance. Once he's comfortable, it turns into a much more assertive meow, especially if he knows his food is coming.
We think Fezzik would do well with other cats in a home, as long as he gets a slow introduction. He is FIV+ positive, but he has not been aggressive to others, so we do not think he would be a danger to them. We think he would be fine with gentle kids. He has not been tested with dogs.
Fezzik is estimated to be 3 years old as of March 2024. He has been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. With an approved application, his adoption fee is $37.10.
