Lily is a sweet and sensitive girl, seeking a calm home where life is cozy and predictable. She was brought to the rescue on May 17, 2026, and is ready for a nurturing family that understands her need for space and a gentle approach. New acquaintances should be introduced gradually, helping her form bonds at her own pace with plenty of tasty treats to encourage friendship. A quieter environment will suit her best, so think relaxing days at home instead of busy outings or large gatherings. Currently, Lily is undergoing treatment for allergies, requiring some attention to ensure her skin stays healthy. Her future family should be prepared to work with a veterinarian to keep her comfortable. Lily would thrive in a home with older children (ages 10+), and she prefers that they are involved during interactions.
