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 Update 2025: Observation from Volunteer Steve: Can cats have multiple personalities? I think Ms. Lucky has at least two. The first is Sweet Kitty. I know of two CFC staffers and a volunteer she allows to pet her. They can even exchange head bumps with her, rubbing their foreheads against the top of her head. I’m afraid to try this. Over the 17 months I’ve known Ms. Lucky, she’s permitted me to pet her about half a dozen times. And then swatted me. Swatting is how she usually greets me. Thus, a possible second personality is Mean Girl. Her fellow residents in the Senior Room would agree. Fortunately for them, Ms. Lucky sleeps most of the afternoon so encounters are rare. But as feeding time approaches around 2:30, Ms. Lucky is up, waiting. Woe unto the cat that comes near her. Even Hank (the Lion-Hearted) gives her a wide berth. Nonetheless, I admire this plucky (and beautiful) girl. Perhaps she’s inherited some of her wildcat ancestor’s genes.

Spring Update 2025: Ms. Lucky, who spent all of 2024 in her condo, no longer cares for it. She’s taken over the Senior Room ledge beds that all have a window view. However, I’m not sure how much she enjoys this vista because she’s usually sound asleep. This beautiful Girl With Green Eyes continues to sometimes exhibit a prickly personality. But it may be gender-based. She usually ends up hissing and swatting males like me. But staffer Rebecca has established a special relationship with Lucky. She allows Rebecca to pet her at length and even nuzzle the top of her head. Even more astonishing, Lucky has climbed onto Rebecca and Volunteer Maddy’s shoulders and settled down. A 2021 British study found some cats DO prefer women to men. Perhaps Ms. Lucky has read it.
