Story
Name: Lane Breed: Domestic Shorthair Gender: Female Estimated DOB: 11/1/2024 Lane is a sweet and gentle girl with a friendly personality and a calm, thoughtful presence. She may be a little reserved at first in a new environment, but with patience and reassurance, she becomes affectionate and enjoys being close to her people. Lane would do best in a home that understands the importance of giving her time to adjust and settle in at her own pace. She thrives in a peaceful, supportive environment and appreciates consistent routines and gentle attention. Because Lane has not been around young children, we recommend a home with children age 10 and older. If there are dogs in the home, introductions would need to be slow and intentional to help Lane feel safe and comfortable. Lane is part of a group of five cats rescued together, all named after Gilmore Girls characters. Much like her namesake, Lane has a loyal heart and a quietly creative spirit—she’s the kind of companion who feels like a constant presence in your life, always nearby, always steady. She would thrive in a home where cozy routines, shared space, and gentle companionship are truly appreciated. If you’re interested in Lane, fill out an application on our website https://www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org/ or find us on FB/IG and reach out with questions!
