In the shelter’s words

DOB 10/12/23 Hey there, everyone! I’m Lily, a sweet, gentle, and loving brown tabby girl with a delightfully “grouchy” face that gives the iconic internet celebrity Grumpy Cat a run for her money. I absolutely adore Foster Meowmy, especially when she gently scratches my cheeks, chin, and ears, and it’s my privilege to be her calm, quiet companion. You see, I’ll always be grateful to Foster Meowmy, who rescued me from a crowded outdoor event where people were kicking me and almost running over me with their bikes. Thank heavens she took me to the safe haven of her home, and I can’t tell you how thankful I was that I’d landed in a calm, comforting environment. Foster Meowmy did her due diligence and traced my microchip to the previous owner who had adopted me but, after he was evicted, dumped me in the park and didn’t want me back. Each day I bloom a little more because I have the satisfaction of knowing that my past difficulty, loss, and change are all behind me and a bright future, full of kindness, lies ahead. Despite all that I’ve endured, Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday because my heart remains soft and full of love. Now I’m ready to bring my gentle serenity and calm companionship to my loving future family whose hearts have been touched by my past abandonment and who will cherish me forever. For my part, I’m unbelievably resilient, so I’m not looking back at my past mistreatment and rejection but ahead to the beautiful life destined for me, where I’ll be “home for good.” Yes, I’ve endured more than any cat ever should, but I’m ready to give my heart to a family who enthusiastically believes in second chances. HOPE ID 25-1012-G256 Lily’s $125 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for FIV/FeLV, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment against fleas and parasites.
