About Lizzy

Lizzy might seem a bit timid at first, but her curiosity wins out, and once she settles in, she'll happily accept all the affection you're willing to give. Climbing is one of her favorite things to do, so a few cat trees or shelves will make her day. She’s particularly easy to integrate into a home with other cats, making her an ideal fit for multi-cat households. Patient families who appreciate a quieter, loving cat will find Lizzy a rewarding companion. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
