About Tilly

Meet Tilly, also known as "Tin Tin," a low-energy delight who's eight years old and weighs just six pounds. This tiny sweetheart loves to burrow under blankets and relax on the couch, always close to her favorite person. Tilly will happily shadow you throughout the day and snuggle skin-to-skin at night. While she’s usually neutral with new faces, she quickly warms up to receiving pets and cuddles once she feels comfortable. Tilly is fully potty trained, crate trained, and walks well on a leash. While she enjoys being outdoors, she doesn’t require much playtime and would prefer a calm home, possibly with a gentle dog or as the only pet. Treats are her favorite, and she thrives in a quiet environment where she can unwind with plenty of blankets. Apartment living suits her perfectly, especially with a single person, couple, or family with older, gentle kids. She’s a little nervous around stairs, so a tranquil home would be her ideal setting. Tilly’s devotion is truly special; she’s always by your side, gazing up at you with her sweet light brown eyes. Tilly previously tested positive for heartworm but has received treatment prior to joining us. Ready to make a difference in Tilly's life? Click apply to start the adoption process.
