Lily (reduced adoption fee) - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Melrose, Massachusetts

My name is Lily, and I'm a two-year-old sweetheart. My brother Big Tee Jay (posted separately) and I were about to be left behind in a cage in someone's driveway by someone moving away. Fortunately, a rescuer found out and got us to safety. Our foster mom is being nice to us, and we adjusted to her home within a few days. She says I'm an affectionate purring machine and I don't like to be on the other side of the door from people. I love being pet, roll over to request belly rubs, and I will purr warmly in response. I have an adorable tiny raspy meow and, if you reach down to pet my head, I'll lift my front legs to headbutt your hand. Tee Jay and I get along with each other, but we're not bonded to each other, so we can be adopted together or separately. We both like people more than we like each other. I wouldn't do well being left unaccompanied for long hours, though. I should get lots of playtime and attention, but then so should most other cats. I promise I'll be your best friend for life. I'm an easy-going kind of girl and I would good companion for a first-time adopter.


I'm about two years old. I have been spayed, and my shots are up to date. I have also tested negative for FeLV and FIV. I'm being fostered in West Roxbury. If you're interested in adopting me, click the button that says "Start your inquiry." Its right down there.
