A Gem of a Cat Waiting for a Home

Cats with a Past

Say hello to Luci. She's eight and a half years old,
a little sassy, and a lot playful. Her main hobby is
chasing crumpled paper.

We’re kicking off the new year of Cats with a Past by introducing Luci, a “Hidden Gem” of a cat at the Washington (DC) Humane Society. Luci is so special that she even has her own office at the shelter. Okay, technically it isn’t her office, but she gets to be in it, and isn’t there a saying about possession being nine-tenths of the law? So really it is Luci’s office; the people just may not know it yet.

It’s nice to have your own office, but what a cat really wants is a loving home, and that is exactly what Luci is waiting for. This beautiful girl is eight and a half years old and is just as sassy and playful as our favorite redhead, Lucille Ball. Her favorite toy is a crumpled-up piece of paper, so you know you won’t have to break the bank buying lots of fancy stuff for her. We do love a cat with simple tastes.

And speaking of love, Luci is not one to give her love to just any old schmo who wanders in and says, “Hey.” You will have to earn her love by being a good friend to her, and maybe giving her a nice scratch on the butt. Once you’ve earned her loyalty, though, she’ll be your pal for life.

Luci is a Hidden Gem who gets to spend extra time with volunteers so she’ll be all ready to move into a new home. The staff have gotten to know her really well during her stay at the shelter, and they would love to hear from anyone serious about getting to know Luci. Also, her adoption fee has been waived, though standard adoption procedures still apply.

Luci is at the Washington Humane Society’s Georgia Avenue Adoption Center. Learn more about her here.
