Lily is Your Rancho Coastal Humane Society Pet This Week

She likes cats.

Lily is an 8-year-old, 8-pound, female, Domestic Long Hair cat with a Brown Tabby coat.

She was surrendered to Rancho Coastal Humane Society when her owner developed allergies. Lily was adopted and spent 7 months in her new home until a new family member, who was also allergic to cats, moved in.

She’s an easy-going, social girl who loves other cats.
