Summer 2009 Arrivals ! Two handsome young hunks looking for love - Buck and Everest. aADOPTED 7/2/09 Caring For Creatures has the perfect kitty for YOU ! Apparently Ms. Lilly had been at the local SPCA for one year before being transferred to the sanctuary. Her history prior to that is unknown, but she must have been well-loved at one time to have become such a loving kitty herself. And she is that and more according to all who have met her. Not only does she interact well with humans and actually seeks out their attention, but she also gets along well with other cats. Rumor has it she would love to spend her days sitting on her favorite person's lap. At close to eight years old, she has certainly earned the right to do that. Lilly is spayed and in good health and is eager to meet some nice folks. So....when you have a little spare time, make your way out to Caring For Creatures and meet this special girl.
