Lucy's Story

Hi there! I’m a confident, playful girl with a big personality and an even bigger love for laser pointers (seriously—best. toy. ever). I’ve got plenty of energy for zoomies and playtime, but I also know how to kick back in a sunny window or watch the world go by with quiet curiosity. It might take me a few days to feel at home, but once I do, I turn into a chatty, affectionate little shadow. I’ll follow you from room to room, brush against your legs, and purr like a tiny motorboat. I love being close to my people—just on my own terms. I’m not much of a cuddler, and that’s okay! I enjoy affection, but I appreciate a home that understands when I need a little space. I can get overstimulated sometimes and just need a quick breather before I’m ready to play or hang out again. I’m looking for a calm, adult-only home with someone who appreciates an independent spirit. In return, I’ll bring energy, curiosity, and a whole lot of personality to your world. Almost Home's Adoption Requirements: Be at least 21 years of age Have the knowledge and consent of all adults living in the household Have approval from owner of residence (written in lease) Have a valid ID with current address Be approved as a suitable adoptive home by Almost Home Foundation Be ready to make a lifetime commitment Live in the suburbs surrounding Chicago (Illinois Residents only) Pass a veterinarian reference check for current and past pets.
