About Lucy

Lucy is a big-hearted young cat, barely a year old, who still carries all the goofy charm and energy of a kitten in her large, lovable frame. Rescued alongside her brother from a front yard in Calexico, Lucy quickly won her foster's affection with her sweet and trusting nature. She gets along well with children over three and is open to companion cats, either in your current crew or adopted with one of her foster siblings. Lucy's reaction to dogs depends somewhat on their personality; easy-going, cat-friendly dogs are likely a good match for her. Lucy is healthy, spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and negative for FELV/FIV. She's flea-free, dewormed, and entirely ready for a home that can appreciate her playful yet gentle spirit. Her short gray tabby and white coat is easy to maintain, and she's house trained and easy to live with. Lucy just wants someone to love, and she's more than ready to bring that same affection back to her new family. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
