My name is Lucy!

Lucy is a 9 year old shorthair who was born in a barn! She’s very small and can be very shy- it’ll take her some time to warm up to strangers. She is very affectionate and loves to be loved! She prefers a quiet household with consistency- she does not do well with change.
Right now she is living with one younger male cat, and has for the last 7 years. They are not bonded, but typically get along. She’s grown up around other dogs, cats, birds, and has been around snakes! None has ever been a problem for her, but they had all been respectful of her :)
She does scratch at carpets, and in stressful situations will avoid using the litter box. She does poop outside of the box, typically right in front of it.
She is incredibly sweet, playful, and tends being more of a one-person cat.
