Adult (5 years 7 months) · Female · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 4 mi from Lake Wilderness




Lucy is very sweet girl! She takes awhile to warm up to her surroundings and enjoys occasional pets. She has a cute distinct meow! She is a rather big girl, although feeding time is her favorite she eats a reasonable amount. She eats both dry and wet food no preferred flavor. She likes crunchy treats. She can be shy with treat offerings and prefers to eat them at her own pace. She enjoys a churro treat out of a bowl. She is an overall healthy girl but does have some hair loss and likes to be brushed. She loves curling up in her round donut beds for naps. Frequently enjoys scratching her nails on a flat level cat scratcher.
Read more about Lucy
No real interest in tower cat scratchers. She adores stuffed toys over noisy ones, catnip, small balls and a tunnel! She enjoys looking out the window, would enjoy a tall cat perch to oversee and loves to resort to her quiet area. She is a smart girl who is fond of a routine. She prefers to be alone and would do best as the only pet in the household. She does not do well with other cats, dogs or children. Her ideal home would be someone who understands her quiet nature, has patience for her to come out of her shell and learn her quirks. She does make some funny facial expressions! Once she is comfortable you may find her curled up on a chair, blanket or human bed.

Kitten · Male · Domestic Long Hair · 18 mi from Lake Wilderness




Meet Angel and her son, Gabriel! They originally came to us 5 years ago from death row, were adopted and now are being returned, through no fault of their own. Angel is an absolute stunner of an 7-year-old cat with luxurious, long white hair. Her 5-year-old son, Gabriel, formerly known as Angelo) is her literal "mini-me"—matching his mama's gorgeous looks and charm. These two have an incredible bond that has kept them side-by-side through thick and thin, and they are looking for a family to love them together. Through absolutely no fault of their own, they are being returned to rescue and are officially searching for a fresh start.Here is a little glimpse into their fun-filled daily routine: The Olympic Games: Don't let their regal looks fool you; these two love a good game of tag, leapfrog, and chasing each other around the house! Bird Watching & Board Games: They are professional couch potatoes who love staring out the window at real birds.
Read more about Gabriel

Whenever the litter box gets freshly scooped, he silently waits nearby to ensure he claims the very first turn. Polite Dining: They are excellent communicators and will chat with each other to take turns at the food bowl. When they want your attention, they will happily rub against your legs, hop onto your chair or bed, and ask for pets. Angel can be a little aloof and independent at times, but she will melt your heart when she leans in for sweet nose kisses.The Ideal Forever Home:They are looking for a low-activity, quiet environment. They would do wonderfully with a senior, a single person, a couple, or a family with children over 12 years old (no young kids, please).The Perks & Vetting: Bonus: Their former adopters are generously sending them off with a 6-month supply of meals from Chewy.com! Health: Both are fully vetted—spayed/neutered, up-to-date on rabies and FVRCP vaccines, combo-tested negative, and microchipped with a lifetime registration.

Adopting a cat in Lake Wilderness
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
