About Lily & Daisy

This could be the start of something paw-some. Lily and Daisy are a bonded pair of 3-year-old American Shorthair sisters searching for a calm, loving forever home where they can stay together. Their connection is heartwarming: whether napping, playing, or simply enjoying your company, they are inseparable. Lily, a striking tabico, is mellow and sweet-natured, while Daisy, in lovely white and grey, has a confident and curious spirit. Both girls have gentle, easygoing personalities and delight in spending quiet time near their people, especially cozying up to you at bedtime for a night of snuggles. Sensitive and affectionate, Lily and Daisy will need a little patience to adjust to new surroundings, especially shy Lily, but once comfortable, their devotion and warmth truly shine. They are searching for a peaceful, adult-only home, or a household with quiet, respectful teenagers. Because Lily has nasopharyngeal stenosis (secondary to FVR or calicivirus), they should be the only cats unless joining other long-term viral carriers. Lily’s reverse sneezing and occasional snoring only add to her singular charm, and their adopter will receive a complete medical history and plenty of support. Lily and Daisy are hoping to fill your life with love and companionship — and only ask for understanding, patience, and a place to belong. If you’re searching for a special pair to complete your family, these wonderful girls may be the ones to win your heart. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
