MS LUCKY

HISTORY: Ms Lucky was brought to the sanctuary after her owner was moved into assisted living.

Meet Ms Lucky!  When she first arrived at CFC, she was very nervous and shy however with time, she has nicely settled in and has made some human friends!  Once Ms Lucky knows you,  she’ll happily share her wonderful, outgoing personality with you.  She enjoys getting pet on her head and down her back but watch out if she gets too overstimulated!!  LOL!  Although she’s a senior,  still she has some umph and can be quick with her corrective paw!    Ms Lucky enjoys playing with wand toys and slowly is venturing out to explore her room.  She’s still cautious and looking left and right as she exits her condo,  but she’ll get there!  A more quiet kitty, she prefers to keep to herself and has not shown much interest in interacting with the other cats in her room.  We feel she will thrive in a more quiet, laidback home where she is a single cat.  A poised, beautiful girl,  you can see even in her photos how much of a class act she is.  To be sure though,  we’ll recommend that you come on by and see first hand for yourself!   Oh, did we mention WE are the lucky ones to have Ms Lucky under our care? 

Fall 2024 Update: Ms. Lucky is quite particular about whom she associates with. Her standards are very high and she doesn’t reveal them to us. Interactions often end with a fierce hiss. So, her recent encounter with volunteer Maddy was remarkable. It lasted at least 15 minutes, three of which were captured on video. After finding that Lucky was accepting visitors, Maddy sat on the floor in front of her condo. Lucky proceeded to nuzzle Maddy’s hand, stand on her shoulders and lick her hair. She returned to the tower in front of her condo and continued to rub against Maddy. No hisses. Lucky is taking a long time to get used to the Senior Room. No one has ever seen her set paw on the floor. She often sits regally on her tower but staff’s attempts to lure her farther afield have been in vain. Her condo is fully equipped with food, water and litter box so she has little incentive to come out. When staff moved her food and water to the floor, she waited them out—losing weight but winning the battle of wills. Nonetheless, her recent interaction with Maddy confirms that progress can be made.

Spring 2024 Update: “Gorgeous, beautiful eyes,” comments Volunteer Steve in describing our head turning tabby delight. Ms Lucky is slowly but surely expanding her human friend circle and it brings us (and her) much joy! Steve reports that even though he’s only been volunteering a few weeks, already she’s in his lap but on her terms! Ms Lucky is a bit of a sassy lady who clearly calls the shots. Friendly and desiring interaction and attention, it’s best to still take it slowly with her as she can have a quick swat with her paw correcting your move! Ms Lucky is a real piece of work and as testimony to her slowly settling in, she’s now in another volunteer’s lap AND getting brushing sessions with a purr and smile on her face. This volunteer has been a regular visitor to Ms Lucky for some time now. We’re excited about how she’s doing and with no emerging health issues, no doubt she is on track to perhaps relax in Steve’s lap and ask for a hairstyling in the future.
