Story
Lilac is an affectionate senior cat that would love a calm home with someone who can spoil her all day. Lilac came in with her sister Wendy and together they are a perfect balance. While Wendy is independent and affectionate on her terms, Lilac demands pets and laps for her enjoyment. She greets you at the door and seeks your attention whenever you offer it. If you want a cuddly cat, Lilac is your girl! Lilac and Wendy like to people watch and would love a sunny spot on the windowsill to relax and silently judge your neighbors. If you are looking for a pair of lovely senior cats, come in to meet Lilac and Wendy today!

Story
Wendy is a sweet older gal that needs a quiet home where she can relax and enjoy life. When Wendy was a kitten, an unfortunate accident injured her back and has now developed osteoarthritis- but she doesn't let it stop her! She is rather independent, but she wants affection when offered and likes to play with toys. Wendy is still handling sensitive on her back and rear legs, so she will be best in a home with older children (kids 10+) that can understand her need for space and gentle interactions. If there are any children in the home, we ask that they come in to meet with Wendy beforehand since she can be shy around strangers. Wendy was brought in with her lovely sister Lilac and while they would like to go home together, they can be adopted separately. Lilac is a warm, outgoing presence that is a perfect balance with Wendy. While Wendy is independent and affectionate on her terms, Lilac demands pets and laps for her enjoyment. They both like to people watch and would love a sunny spot on the windowsill to relax and silently judge your neighbors. If you are looking for a pair of lovely senior cats, come in to meet Lilac and Wendy today!

Storm is such a sweetheart!! Unfortunately for me though, she does not really care for Males :( my brother and i have had her for almost a year now and she still only tolerates us but when my grandma or cousin come over, she is so happy, purring, chirping, and extremely playful! she needs a female environment to be happy, and i don’t have that for her unfortunately:(
