Description:

Lucy's Personality Lucy is a charming calico kitten with a great personality. She is easy-going, quick to purr, and incredibly sweet and social. Lucy always wants to be with people. If her foster parents are sitting, she is either playing nearby, or adjusting herself to find the most comfortable position to curl up near or on them. If they are propped up in bed reading, her favorite thing is when they bend their knees under the covers, creating a “tent” she can crawl into. If they are sleeping, she is inevitably right there on top of the bed too. If she is not sure where the people are, she calls out and comes running when she hears her name. Lucy is playful without being aggressive. Her favorite games are running and chasing. She loves to follow a laser pointer, chase a ball around the house, and go dashing through a crinkly cat tunnel. She also likes to play with pens and pencils and hides them under the edges of rugs. She’s definitely still a kitten, and needs to be reminded not to jump on counters or scratch the rug. But she’s also good at using a scratching pad, and often the reason for getting on the counter is to knock down a pen - so hiding the pens or pencils where she can find them deters her from jumping on counters. Lucy is very curious and never met a small space or open door she didn’t want to enter. She enjoys hiding in bags, boxes and cubby holes, but given her social nature, she never hides for too long. She has been known to jump into the shower after the water has been turned off, crawl behind the trash bins when the drawer is pulled out and climb into the pantry when someone is getting a snack. So it is always important to know where Lucy is before you close a door! Type of Home Lucy Needs Lucy needs an active home with more than one person AND a young female cat to bond and play with. She is an inquisitive girl who thrives on activity. She hasn't been exposed to children or dogs but would likely do fine with both. Where Lucy Came From Lucy came into our care after a kind person rescued her and her siblings from a hoarding situation when she was a younger kitten. Lucy was friendly and social from the start so although her beginnings were not ideal, she was clearly socialized from an early age.PLEASE NOTE: we only adopt to residents of the DC metro area, which includes DC, Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties in MD, and Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun Counties in VA. Please see our adoption guidelines at https://spcanova.org/about-us/adoption-policies/. May 16, 2024, 1:26 pmAdoption processPlease read our cat adoption guidelines (at http://www.spcanova.org/). We put a lot of financial and emotional support into our cats and want them placed in homes where they will be members of the family for the rest of their lives. Indoor cats, with care, can live up to 20 years. Not everyone agrees with all of our guidelines. Please read our explanations and talk to our volunteers. If you disagree with us, we suggest you adopt a cat from a different source such as a local shelter. When you adopt a cat from us, you must sign a legal contract stating that you will comply with our guidelines. The adoption fee is $150 for one cat and $250 for two. For those interested in cat adoptions, all potential adopters must read our adoption guidelines (available on our website at www.spcanova.org), then meet the cat in person either at an Adoption Fair or in their foster home. We take applications only after you've met the cat and we both feel it's a good match. All adopters interested in adopting a dog must meet the dog in person, and submit an application. A housecheck is done, and references are checked. If approved, the dog will be placed in the home for a two-week trial period, to make sure that it is a good "fit" for both people and dog. If it is, the adoption is finalized and the adoption fee is paid. We do not adopt outside of the Washington DC metro area.Shelter locationOur dogs are available to meet at twice monthly adoption events in Fairfax, VA.
