My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Lucy and her siblings were born outside to a feral mother.  While inside during spay recovery, Lucy would greet her foster with a hiss, but also welcomed petting. So Lucy started on her journey to be a pampered house cat!  She has beautiful lynx-point siamese coloring, but neither parent is a siamese.  She has pretty light colored blue eyes. She is a healthy girl who loves to run and rough-house with the other kittens.  

Lucy likes electronic cat toys that have feathers that move, or a laser light that bounces around – but toasting in a sunny window is also a favorite pastime.  She enjoys watching the birds through the window.

 

She does prefer her humans to be "short" – so when you are "tall" she sometimes darts around or away from you, but once you sit on the sofa or on your bed, be prepared for company.  Lucy loves to be close to her foster mom.  Lucy does NOT like being picked up, but really WANTS to be petted and to get as close as she can to you without you having to pick her up.  She can stomp her feet and make biscuits like no other cat!  Lucy will sometimes walk across her foster mom's lap -- or lay on her briefly.  She will twirl around and headbutt you from the side, and sometimes you can casually curl your arm around & under her and hold her for a minute.  This girl is definitely affectcionate, but because of her initial feral colony home, is a little scared to be fully picked up.

 

Lucy is a very happy, even tempered girl who needs another cat as a companion.  She likes to cuddle with her siblings – or the other foster cats.   Lucy (at this point) is NOT a counter-surfer -- but is very concerned if you are in the kitchen, because it might mean you are fixing her something to eat!  Because she was born in a feral colony, she did receive an ear notch when she was spayed, but we think that only adds to her character!

 

Lucy would be a fantastic addition to anyone's family.

More about this rescue

Mission Statement: The Cat Network is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit, 501(c) (3), no-kill and life-enhancing cat rescue group. Since 1991, we have rescued and placed thousands of abandoned, abused, stray and shelter cats and kittens in St. Louis, Missouri and surrounding areas. After their rescue, the cats and kittens are provided medical care, tested for Feline Leukemia and FIV, micro-chipped and spayed or neutered. Cats and kittens are kept in foster care and then placed in loving permanent homes whenever possible.
