About Lucy

Lucy, often nicknamed Momma, is a striking dilute tortiepoint bicolor with short, plush fur. She’s got a big personality—talkative, food-focused, and always ready to let you know how she feels. Lucy does well with other cats, but she’s not crazy about puppies and prefers a quieter space where she can lounge in peace. Her favorite move is curling up with her foster’s boyfriend when the puppy is out of sight. She’s quick to snuggle up, but always on her own schedule; Lucy’s not a fan of being held unless it’s her idea. Lucy is estimated to be around 3 years old and is already spayed, house trained, and fully vaccinated. She’s been thoroughly vetted and is used to family life, making her a well-socialized companion. Lucy would thrive in a stable, calm environment with someone happy to respect her independent streak. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
