About Lucia

Lucia is a delightful young tortoiseshell cat, approximately 18 months old, who brings charm and personality to our rescue. Rescued from a tough life on the streets, she bears the marks of her past with her unique ear tips, but they only add to her character. With a round face and large eyes, Lucia may have a hint of British Shorthair in her. This little lady certainly has her own sense of "tortitude," displaying a playful side while getting along with her foster friends. However, she can be a bit bossy, enjoying the occasional paw bat at her companions just to remind them she's the one in charge. Lucia thrives in an engaging environment, so we prefer she goes to a home with another lively kitty. A timid companion won’t suit her high-spirited personality! If you're looking for a cat that adds both fun and sweetness to your life, Lucia is ready for her new adventure! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
