Lilli


I adopted Lilli (a.k.a. Winter) in May 2013 from Paradise Animal Rescue. Adoption is very important to me, so PAR was one of the first places I thought of when I considered a new companion for myself and my adult cat Luka, who I saved from a kill shelter a couple of years earlier. Because my cat thinks he’s a big kitten and can be a rambunctious player, I wanted to make the best choice in order for a happy companionship for both. I put a lot of serious thought into the right age, personality and energy level of the new addition. I first studied each cat’s profile on PAR’s website and then visited their wonderful residents several times. Every person I met at PAR during those visits was welcoming and helpful when I explained that I was searching for the right fit. When I first met six-month-old Lilli, she had very recently been surrendered. I was instantly charmed by her but wanted to give her a chance to settle in before making such an important decision. When I visited her again a few days later, I knew she was the one! Lilli is a very playful, curious, independent and affectionate girl. After a slow but steady introduction period, she and Luka quickly adjusted and became instant playmates. They love to wrestle, chase each other and play king of the mountain on their cat tower. One of Lilli’s favorite games is to launch surprise “attacks” from hiding spots as her brother passes by. I don’t have to spend a lot on cat toys because their favorite is crumpled-up pieces of paper! I would like to thank everyone at Paradise for the opportunity to provide Lilli her loving forever home and for all of their important work in enriching the lives of both animals and people.
