Lily came to us in the fall — a tiny, painfully skinny teen mom who had just given birth to six (!!) kittens only three days earlier. She was severely underweight but still doing everything she could to care for her babies, despite having clearly been through far too much, far too young.
Her kittens were raised safely in foster care and all grew up healthy and very social. At the time, Lily seemed feral, and we assumed she’d eventually be TNR’d and released. During her spay, we learned just how hard her short life had been — she had likely given birth multiple times already. (As wild as it sounds, cats can get pregnant as young as four months old.)
As her kittens got older and started to play, Lily surprised us. She began venturing out, playing alongside them and occasionally even stealing their toys for herself. Watching her discover play for the first time was incredibly heartwarming — Lily never really got to be a kitten until now.
After her babies were adopted, Lily moved to a patient foster home where she was given the space to learn what it means to simply be a cat. She blossomed. Lily learned that pets are wonderful, humans can be trusted, and playtime is basically the best thing ever. She now lives for play, loves affection, and sleeps in her foster mom’s bed.
Lily would likely enjoy having a friendly feline sibling, but she could also thrive as a solo cat.l. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, and FIV/FeLV negative.
Lily has done the hardest job already. Now she’s ready to be someone’s baby.
Meet Lily!
