Tigerlily came to us when a lady in her neighborhood was trapping strays for spaying and neutering. She caught Tigerlily and took her to the vet when it was discovered she was already spayed. The lady didn't want to put her back out onto the streets because she was friendly. We took Tigerlily in, we couldn't leave this sweet girl to fend for herself outside. When tigerlily arrived she hated the other cats, now shes one of the gang and will even share her food. She loves food and playing with the laser light. She definitely will let you know if you are late in serving her meals. She loves to curl up next to you at night and is very affectionate. She is playful and funny! Loves her routines so don't be late for dinner!! I don't know how she would be around little children but should be just fine with older kids. I sure hope someone will give her a loving furever home, she is a great companion!
