Lucy grew up surrounded by many other cats, which meant she never got much personal attention as a kitten. Because of that, she’s naturally shy and tends to feel uneasy in unfamiliar places or with people she doesn’t know. She may initially hide or keep her distance, but Lucy does let down her guard once she feels secure. With time and steady kindness, Lucy reveals her affectionate side and begins to trust. She’s not a cat who will run up for cuddles on day one—but she is loyal to those who show patience. Lucy needs an adopter willing to let her adjust gradually, and someone who respects that she may always prefer subtle companionship over constant fuss. She’s already spayed, vaccinated, and has had parasite prevention, so she’s all set on the basics. Lucy’s looking for a settled home where she can finally get the attention and security she’s missed. It takes her a while to blossom, but once she does, the bond runs deep. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
