Meet Lydia
I’ve also been called “sassy,” in that I have some sense of personal space and where on my body petting is welcomed. I might fit this word. It’s true, for instance, that I am not fond of being picked up and squirm a bit until my four feet are back on the ground. And perhaps my love bites are lighter on love with a bit more emphasis on bite. And don’t even think about touching the spot right by my tail unless you enjoy being swatted. If you’d had the life I’ve had, maybe you’d squirm and swat, too. I mean, the last thing I remember before coming to my foster home was being dumped in a parking lot. That’s no fun.
Anyway, so some of what you might have heard is right on. That’s why the best home for me will be one without small children. They just don’t understand that some of us can be a little cranky. But get me with people who get me and see exactly how we all can be happy. I love being near people. I even am chatty in the right company. I remember hearing about a fellow feline - she was lovely and soft and short-waisted like me. Whenever her family’s friends would come over to visit, the first thing they did was pet this cat. Which sometimes led to unpredictable love biting. But guess what? No blood was shed and when this cat accepted them, they were honored. They thought she was the best cat ever; a real personality.
I never met that cat, and I have no interest in meeting her or any other cats (I'll need a forever home with no other cats, please!), but I dig her style.
If you think you’d like a cat with personality in your family—me— let’s get together.
Please fill out an adoption application at this website—https://animalalliesrescue.org/cat-application—and choose me, Lydia! My adoption fee is $50 and AARF wants me to tell you that their adoption package covers all expenses needed to prepare kitties like me for our forever homes. By the time you meet us, we’ve already been spayed/neutered (if age-appropriate) and microchipped. We’ve been checked by a veterinarian, and we’re up to date on age-appropriate immunizations against rabies and FVRCP (feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus & panleukopenia). Some of us have had extensive surgeries, dental work, or other necessary procedures. AARF is committed to getting all of us entirely ready for a happy, healthy, love-filled life!
