About St Lucia

St. Lucia is small, but her presence fills a room. She starts out cautious and prefers to watch her surroundings before relaxing, but once she’s comfortable, her affectionate side takes over. St. Lucia seeks out connection, curling up nearby and rewarding you with big purrs and a steady supply of biscuits. She forms loyal bonds with her people and has a sweet, loving spirit. Her playful streak keeps things lively—she’ll chase toys, invent her own games, and entertain herself if you’re busy, but she enjoys interactive play too. In foster care, she’s done well with small dogs and adults, and her foster notes she gets along with cats. She’s happiest in a home that will let her settle at her own pace, with older children who can respect her boundaries. Give her patience, and she’ll reward you with constant companionship. St. Lucia is about 12 years old, spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and she’s had recent senior bloodwork and dental work. All her remaining teeth have been extracted, so she eats enthusiastically and shouldn’t need more dental care. When she arrived, she was underweight, but good nutrition and vet care have helped her regain both health and confidence. She has excellent house manners—she’s house trained, uses the litter box reliably, and eats both wet and dry food. St. Lucia thrives on gentle attention and is eager for the right family to show her the love she’s always deserved. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
