Lily is an affectionate female cat with short coat, part of a bonded pair with Ragtop. She is house trained and vaccinated, currently located in Mount Vernon, OH. Ragtop is a large male cat with a playful disposition, and together they are looking for a loving home where they can thrive.

About Lily

Lily and Ragtop came to the rescue when their mom transitioned to a nursing home and could no longer care for them. Lily, a sweet female cat, craves as much attention as you can give, though she's been a bit picky with her food lately. On the other hand, Ragtop, a two-year-old male long-haired cat, is a big personality who has no problem grumbling while you give him affection, and he enjoys his meals just fine. Unfortunately, they can’t be housed together at the moment due to space issues related to Ragtop’s size. It’s essential to find them a forever home quickly, as they both deserve the comfort of a loving environment.
