About Lucy

Meet Lucy! This spirited feline is the leader of her duo, always on the move—running, playing, and keeping an eye on the world outside. Lucy and her companion Ethel came from a challenging situation, with minimal human interaction. While they've made notable progress in trusting people, they still need a patient and understanding home. Initially, expect a hiss or swat when feeding, but don’t be disheartened; with time, they’ll cozy up and sniff your hand. They thrive in a calm environment where they can freely explore and express themselves, though they might never be the typical lap cat. More like companion kitties, they would love someone to play with them but aren’t quite ready for close cuddles just yet. Their current foster captures delightful moments of their playful antics, although they quiet down when anyone enters the room. If you feel a connection with these two, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re really hoping to find them the loving home they deserve!
