Lily

Lily came to the RAPS sanctuary at the end of March via the No. 5 Road shelter, where she’d been surrendered because her owner was moving.

Such a change in company and surroundings can be hard on a 12 year old cat and, as the sign on the door of her cage warns, Lily is “extremely stressed!”

When I went to visit her earlier this week, she seemed a little confused as to how to respond. It was like she wanted to make friends, even coming forward to greet me, but then she would suddenly remember she’s in a strange place surrounded by strangers. And then she’d suddenly be swatting me out of her personal space.

Still, she looks like she has the potential to be a pretty neat girl once she gets over the shock of the new environment and begins to adjust to shelter life.
