Lily

Description

At the very beginning of Lily's life, someone was nice to her. If a kitten isn't handled regularly between about four to eight weeks of age, they usually become feral and untouchable. But someone touched Lily. In the summer of 2025, Lily showed up in the scrapyard of a factory in East Oakland. She was only about four months old. Lily started making regular appearances at the 5 pm feeding of the factory's feral cat colony. Lily initially spent most of her time hiding, as she was scared of the other, bigger cats. Over time, Lily started coming closer and closer to the person who fed her. Finally, one day she let that person pet her and bring her to her foster home. Lily is now fostered in a loving home, and it has been fun watching her blossom into a house cat. Everything about indoor life was new to her, but as Lily has gotten more relaxed and confident, she has started showing her rambunctious kitten energy and playfulness! Lily loves to run, play, look at birds, and cuddle with you in bed. Lily will do best in a calm, patient home, where has time to settle in and get to know her people. Lily can be quite shy with new people at first, but is easily won over by a Churu treat! Lily would do well as an only cat, as long as her human(s) are home a lot and she gets plenty of playtime. She would likely do well with an easygoing, playful cat companion who can help build her confidence as an indoor cat, given the proper introduction. Lily has not been around children or dogs, but she may do well with gentle children age 12+. Her estimated date of birth is April 1, 2025.
