Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Little Lucille is a major sweetheart. A very nice cat, good-natured and gentle with a lot of love to give, not just receive. Her personality is happy, friendly, innocent, and trusting. She's easy-going, well-mannered, lovable and cuddly. She loves to be pet and will roll over with delight while you rub her belly and hug her. Even with her missing leg, she is not protective of the area and wants you to pet her all over. She likes rubbing her face vigorously on your arm, face, and head. We suspect since she can't rub her own face, it feels extra good to do that. And it's not a soft dainty rub... but a rather heart-felt, full-fledge kind of nuzzling.
Her front leg was removed at 2 years old. Her deceased owner's vet record says she was missing for 3 weeks and returned with a swollen foot that became infected and resulted in her amputation. She is an indoor cat, 4 years old and well adapted to the loss of her leg. Her tripod status doesn't phase her at all. She can run and play just like everyone else. She can't jump real high though. She can get on the couch, but not on your counters!
Her energy level is chill, and lounge-y, but also alert and interested, aware of activity and wants to be part of things. She sometimes follows around to see whats going on. When you stop to make eye contact or ask her a question she answers with a small meow that is more of a peep. She comes when you call her, and loves being acknowledged and included in your life. Overall she's very content and goes with the flow. She knows the routines and comes running for meals. When the TV goes off at night, she runs to bed and beats you there so excited for bedtime where she can rub her face on you. She loves to feel safe snuggled up close with your arm around her, and burrowed under blankets.
She has moderate energy and likes to toss around her favorite toy. She enjoys havjng fun and someone to play with her.
She is shy with new people at first, but once she feels safe she makes herself right at home. She is timid of strangers and hides when they come over, but as soon as they leave she reappears. She will do best in a calm, quiet home.
She is a nice friend to other cats and good at reading them to fit herself in. She has the self-esteem to "be herself" but if another cat is dominant toward her, she can feel intimidated. Or if it's a cat that minds their own business, then she minds hers and respects their space. If it's a cat that is equally nice, she will make the effort to reach out and become friends... share a window seat for a nap, lick their head. She has always lived with other cats and enjoys the companionship, but would also do well as an only pet with someone who can give her the attention. Overall, she gravitates more to the attention of people and wants to be a loyal best friend to someone who appreciates her affection.
She is healthy, fixed, and fully vetted.

More about this rescue
ROOTING FOR THE UNDERDOG!
Underdog Cat Rescue was founded in dedication to urgent cats outside in the elements. We help those who are lost, abandoned, or stray to ensure their immediate safety and assess their rehabilitative needs. We commit to fostering these needs until ready for placement into safe and loving homes.
SURRENDERS: We are UNABLE to accommodate pet surrenders. As a foster-based rescue, our ability to intake is subject to space and very limited. Our mission is dedicated to those who are homeless and need rescue from outside.
REHOMING: We are able to help with rehoming if you are willing to 'foster your own' while we post your pet adoptable and search/screen applicants on your behalf. There is no fee as a volunteer service, but you may be asked to cover the veterinary cost of having your pet up to the adoptable standard.
HOMELESS: If you know of a domestic cat that is homeless, you may contact us and we will help whenever possible. If we can help with rescue and adoption (but are unable to accommodate foster), you may be asked for your participation or ability to temp foster.
FOSTERING: We are always in need of fosters. If you are able to provide a temporary home, please contact us!
SOCIALIZING: We can socialize feral and semi-feral cats to an adoptable status, but it is generally a longer-term foster commitment. Our ability to socialize one-on-one is very limited, in which that space usually remains occupied with a waiting list. If you know of a cat with this potential, we can evaluate and help with protocol for successful rehab and adaptability.
FERALS: If you know of a feral cat colony that needs help, please look into your local community TNR trap/neuter/release program.
DONATIONS: If you would like to make a donation or sponsor an Underdog cat, please email us at underdogcatrescue@att.net
