Lovely Lily is waiting for her quiet forever home Lily’s journey is one of quiet bravery. This beautiful girl was found on the streets of San Francisco Chinatown , trying to survive all on her own after her owner closed down the business and left her behind.  She has been surviving in her own for months hiding in narrow space between two buildings, hidden away from the chaos of the city. Scared, hungry, and unsure who to trust. When one of our wonderful foster volunteers heard about Lily’s story, she had her trapped and dropped her off to SPCA for spay. The foster couldn’t drop her back to the location where she was found in Chinatown because she couldn’t imagine her eating garbage and hiding in fear.  Since Lily was raised as a mouser for the business and had never been touch by her owner, she was super skittish at first and skinny.  The foster has 8 cats of her own and a husky.  As much as she loves Lily she can’t keep her because the other cats and dog made her nervous. The foster moved her to her mom’s apartment who has dementia.  She would hide all the time under the bed or inside the cat tree. After a year, she’s slowly learned that the world can be kind. Though still shy, Lily is showing her sweet and playful side.  She loves playing with feather or chasing the wand toy and will accept a soft pet or two when she feels comfortable.  She would cry in the morning and evening waiting for the foster to go feed her and play with her.  Unfortunately, the foster had a mini stroke a couple months ago and also found an aneurysm inside of her brain and having to deal with her personal media issues and her mom with dementia, we think it would be best to find Lily a quiet forever home with patient people who will let her blossom at her own pace. Lily would do best in a home without young children or other pets, where she can finally relax and feel safe.   Could you be the one to give Lily the love and security she’s been waiting for? She is currently being fostered in San Francisco. -------------- Thank you for wanting to Adopt!
