About Lucy

Meet Lucy, a gentle and quiet soul who prefers her own space but is slowly learning that a cozy life with humans can be rewarding. While she might greet you with a measured meow after a long day, she enjoys observing from a distance before allowing the comfort of your presence. With a little patience, Lucy will let you pet her and appreciates slow introductions to new people and environments. She’s making wonderful progress—eating well, consistently using her litter box, and finding favorite spots to relax. A casual bat at a toy mouse might catch her interest, but nothing beats snuggling on her favorite person’s lap. A calm, low-traffic home would be ideal for her, and she would thrive best in a household with only adults. Given her shy nature, she flourishes in a safe, steady environment where her curiosity can bloom at her own pace. Lucy is spayed, vaccinated, and weighs about 8.58 lbs. This quiet girl is ready to find her forever home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
