Lilly Lou, Who Is Much More than Two

Jun 14, 2022

Lilly Lou is a kitty nearing her 15th birthday, and she’ll be celebrating it in a loving home with her new best friends, Sasha and Kelly. This trio’s story began with love at first sight. But they didn’t lock eyes across a crowded room. All it took was one look at Lilly Lou’s picture online before they knew it was meant to be.

Like every pet that passes through our doors, Lilly Lou is a PAWS pet for life.  

After 10 years in a loving home, Lilly’s owner sadly could no longer keep her. We welcomed Lilly back to PAWS and while this sweet girl has gained a couple pounds and a touch of arthritis, her cuddling skills have only improved over the years.  

Once our Medical Center vets prescribed joint supplements and a healthy diet, Lilly was ready to find her new home. And, no surprise, this purr-happy, mini panther wasn’t on our website for long before catching someone’s eye.  

“One of my friends showed me her profile and her picture and I knew immediately she was the right fit for me and my other kitty,” said Sasha.  

Sasha’s instincts couldn’t have been more right.   

“Lilly Lou made herself right at home. She snuggles and purrs up a storm. I love having her curl up next to me at night with her knowing she has a forever home.” 

While Sasha’s other cat, Kitty, is still getting used to having a roommate, the transition is going well.  

“They share food and water bowls and nap on the bed.” 

Today, we’re happy to report that Lilly Lou is truly living her best life.  

“Her favorite activities are eating, sleeping, playing with her stuffed mousey, eating, and sleeping again,” says Sasha.
