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? 

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.

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.
