LUCI is a very affectionate
6-year-old kitty looking for her
forever family. She’s a calm one
who would love a home with a
quiet atmosphere where she’ll
receive lots of attention. Luci has
been an indoor/outdoor cat and
wouldn't mind sitting out on the
deck, but would like to be
inside in a warm bed at night.
She’d prefer a home with no dogs.
If you are looking to add to your
family, come down to meet Luci
at the shelter today!
“BENNETT here! I love people,
cuddling, and of course all the
belly rubs I can get. I really enjoy
going on walks and exploring,
and have had a great time
running around in the yard at
BrightSide, so an active family
that loves the great outdoors
would be perfect! I’m a large boy,
around 5 years old. If it sounds
like we’re a match, come meet
me; you’re sure to fall in love!”
