About Lucy

Lucy is a striking senior Tortoiseshell with a reputation for being deeply affectionate. She has lived her life as a well-socialized, much-loved cat, happiest when surrounded by people. At the shelter, Lucy often chooses the lobby so she can sit near folks, whether or not they stop to pet her; she simply enjoys your company. Lucy prefers to be the only cat in the home, as she’s had little interaction with others and values her space. Her experience with dogs is unknown, and a quiet home will suit her best. She’s accustomed to an indoor/outdoor lifestyle and would appreciate a home where she can lounge inside with a safe spot to explore. Lucy is growing restless at the shelter and is ready to leave the stress behind for a calm home—ideally, on your lap. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
