Lucia has had a tough start, having lived on the streets before being rescued by a compassionate Good Samaritan. Her little eartips bear the marks of her past but only add to her character. She might have a touch of British Shorthair ancestry, given her round face and big, expressive eyes. Despite her sweet spirit, she exhibits some tortitude, occasionally asserting herself with a playful bop to her fellow feline friends. Lucia is petite, sweet, and friendly, making her a delightful companion. She would thrive best in a home with another active kitty who can keep up with her lively antics.
