Miss Lilly, originally uploaded by geojlc.

Meet Lilly, the wonderful new addition to our family! She's a 2 year old Maine Coon mix and an absolutely adorable kitty. I think she'll fit the cat shaped hole in our lives very nicely. She's still a bit shy, but we have a feeling that she'll warm up very nicely.

Thursday night, Jeff found a listing for Lilly at the PAWS on Greenwood and 85th. We tried to go over on Friday morning before work, but they don't open until 2pm on weekdays. I went back over to PAWS after they opened, but Lilly was on hold until 3pm with another couple. I went into their cat-quarium and visited with the volunteer while petting kitties.

Around 3:15, the couple were no-shows/no-calls and they let me meet Lilly. She was such a sweet heart, and I fell in love. Since they wanted Jeff to meet her before we took her home, we put a hold on her until this morning. Good thing we did because the original people tried to come in! I felt kind of bad, but the PAWS people told me I shouldn't.

Anyway, Jeff and I went in this morning and he fell in love with her as much as I did. We got some Mud Bay coupons as part of the adoption and stopped by to get some food and litter. They were excited and asked us to bring her in. She was oohed and ahhed over. :-)

So now she's alternating between hanging out in the bathroom and exploring the new place. We're very excited about our new Miss Lilly cat!

Thank you! We did get an adult, although she's 2 years old (so not too old).

She's also a Maine Coon mix (forgot to add both those bits. fixed now! :-)

Dear Miss Lilly,
Welcome to your new home. You have landed in the coolest house ever. Your new mom and dad will love you, play with you, tease you and snuggle you more then you can imagine. Take care of them in return. They like snuggles and kitty conversations. They like being taken care of when sick, and kept company when they are up late playing video games.
Just remember to keep your poops in the box and the pukes on the tile and you'll be a-ok.

She's lovely. If you haven't had Maine Coons in your family before, I think you will be delighted with her sweet personality. I'm certain she'll gain confidence and fit in beautifully very quickly!
