LOLA- Lifetime Resident

Just like Lola on the “big screen,” our Lola might even eclipse her namesake! Once thought to be feral, sweet, soft Lola is anything but!! A flirtatious girl who will bat her eyes at you to encourage interaction, Lola is adorable pure and simple. According to staff, “everybody loves Lola and Lola loves everybody.” Others have commented on how she melts like butter into your arms. Stop by today and meet our star of the big screen. Lola will likely cry out to you in entering her room so be prepared for head butts and figure eights at your feet.

Fall Update 2025: This old lady is slowing down but I’m still kicking and working hard to make the most of every day. You’ve heard of my huge meowing spells which still come and go (I have little or no hearing so I have no idea how noisy I am) and folks are pretty sure I have little or no sight. I’m spending more and more time in my condo where housekeeping and room service make sure I’m well cared for. On occasion, I may gingerly venture out to the catio to feel the warmth of the sun on my pretty tabby coat. When my friend Scott comes for a visit, he is kind and softly places his hand in front of my nose so as to not startle me. He knows exactly how, when and where to stroke me which is reassuring. With my failing health, the staff is doing their best to make sure I’m comfortable and I’ll look forward to enjoying the fall as only I can with limited sight and hearing.

Spring Update 2025: Our sweet girl LOLA is approaching her 16th birthday and her age is definitely catching up with her. Previously, we had discussed her mighty yowling as we were not certain her hearing was 100% intact. She still has her vocal moments but now her sight is perhaps failing her and dementia is setting in. We have her on a new round of meds to keep her as comfy as possible and we are taking extra steps to make sure objects in the room are not moved around so she can still navigate as she wishes. We still find her outside sunning especially with the warmer temps and we make sure she is safely tucked in overnight in her condo for bed time hours. She’s still eating and drinking well and we’ll continue our extra surveillance on her to help keep her at her best.

Winter Update 2025: Wintertime is one of the most wonderful times of the year. With the cooler temps rolling in, I’ve packed up my outside napping area and moved it inside. Proudly, you will find me on the top of an eye level condo right by the door. To find me, all you need to do is to lift that fleece blanket and there I am! In all my glory and in my most fave spot, it’s always a grand surprise to see who is next calling on me. With my hearing not really intact, I’m clearly the loudest and most yowly of all the cats in my room. Got to be good at something, right? I’m not really into hanging out with other kitties (although I nicely co-exist with them), so I rely on the kindness of staff and volunteers to seek me out, pet me and love on me and then they can go and I can resume my nap!! LOL. I’m content and want for nothing. I am grateful. LOLA
