Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Lily (spayed female)
Approx DOB May 15, 2025

Lily has the sweetest disposition, a love-at-first-sight draw to any cat she meets, and an endless appetite for cuddling with them.

Lily brings so much joy to any room she's in. She loves playing catch, except she doesn't catch or retrieve, so basically she just loves watching you lob soft objects at the wall while she chases them. When she crouches behind a chair arm, her butt wiggling and her eyes large with anticipation, she's inviting you to gently whip a wand toy within her reach or throw her a treat!

Lily and her siblings survived their first 14-16 weeks outside. After sharing a woodpile with endless wasps, the litter was graciously hosted in a neighbourhood home while waiting for spots to open with a shelter. Human mistakes even at the shelter level meant that Lily, not as food or treat motivated as her adopted siblings, was left behind as she did not cope well in that environment. Despite this setback, she has developed into a cat who pushes in curiously when another cat is getting head scratches, loves being close to you, and doesn't skimp on eye kisses

Lily currently accepts accidental touches, a quick kiss on the body, and inconsistent small pets with high value tube treats, Churu being a favourite. Rather than running like the wind at any attempt to touch, she has graduated to sidestepping away and giving you an incredulous look (tip: to gain her trust, step gently and hold an arm behind your back where she sees it can't reach for her)

Lily will surprise you over and over. She'll wake you with a game of footsie or take a shortcut over your body while on an adventure. She'll prance around you when she hears a can opening and brush into your leg, melting your heart.

She'll socialize more in a home with patience and at least one other cat. Kids and dogs are unknown but we suspect a calmer home is Lily's ideal playground.

Her adoption fee of $99 includes her spay/tattoo, vaccines, deworming, mite treatment (all completed)
