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.
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
Nov 2024 Volunteer Thought: Lola is a petite lady of a certain age that is a favorite around here. She prefers to be by herself, not that anyone has an issue with her. I’ve never seen any of the other cats even look cross at her. It’s just that at sweet 16 she’s more interested in her creature comforts. During the warm months I’ll find her out on the catio enjoying the heat. In the colder seasons she’ll be inside, on a cat bed, burrowed under a blanket. But if she sees me I’m told in no uncertain terms to get over to her and give her head rubs! Lola has, probably, the loudest cry in the building. I’ve been seeing her for over 3 years and I’d swear the older she gets, the louder she gets! Who am I to disappoint her? I’m happy to comply to her “request”. I hope to be lucky enough to do so for years to come.
