If you’re having a wonderful day, Peabody wants to party with you.

If you’re having a terrible day, Peabody wants to take care of you.

If you’re too little to fit a whole cat in your lap, Peabody wants to try anyway.

If you’re too “grown-up” to giggle like a toddler, Peabody will convince you otherwise.

Welcome to the world of Peabody, where everybody, in every kind of body, is the very best buddy. He is the happiest cat in all the lands, and he will get happier if he lands in your arms.

But “happy” is not the word for Peabody’s past. There were no laps or kisses, no warm arms or slapstick playtimes. There was only hunger in his belly, an endless road, and the car that changed everything.

Peabody doesn’t like to talk about the car, so his body tells the tale. In one awful moment, the lithe stray was shattered. From now on, he would scoot, not walk … if he survived.

The old life ended in an instant.

But if your name is Peabody, you believe in beginnings.

Kind hands came like angel wings. Peabody was not “just a stray.” He was a cat the colors of a formal party, and he deserved dignity. He was still alive, and he deserved a name. He was in desperate need, that is the only thing necessary to “deserve” a home at Tabby’s Place.

Once you’re a Tabby’s Place cat, you are the best-loved cat in all the lands.

Peabody may not walk, but he loves to dance. Watch him scoot and swivel through our Lobby, and you will hear the music. He cannot empty his own bladder or bowels, but he loves to behold whoever is holding him. As our skilled staff assists Peabody, they take him in their arms. He counts all the stars in their lovestruck eyes.

Were it not for the terrible day, Peabody would not be the most-touched, most-kissed, most important cat in all the lands.

But if your name is Peabody, the best is yet to come.

We have a feeling Peabody will be adopted, complicated little body and all. He melts like nougat in the laps of children and curmudgeons alike. He melts all resistance to the possibility that today could be the best day. The right adopter will come.

But we realize that will be a remarkable person, and there may be a bit of a wait. Peabody’s daily needs are daunting, and his care is costly.

If your name is Peabody, you’re worth every penny.

And if you’re smitten with the kindest cat in all the lands, you can join Peabody’s family. Your monthly donation will provide the world-class care he needs to thrive, in the sunny lobby where he does what he was put on Earth to do.

If your name is Peabody, love is your quest. Will you join him?
