Hello, I am Lucy! I am super friendly and loving, but I am not a fan of other cats…I honestly would prefer to be the only feline in your life. If there are other cats, I cannot promise that I wouldn’t start fights with them, #sorrynotsorry. Otherwise, I love everything about life! I love food, naps, exploring, cuddling, you name it! As long as it is just you and me, we would be the dream team. Visit Lucy at the Venango County Humane Society from noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
