Lilly came into our life in June of 2009. Ever since then, she has been the sweetest, most loveable, cuddly cat one can imagine. Our family loves animals, so we have quite a few. We have another cat, a guinea pig, and a few aquatic animals too! Lilly got her name from a character on a Disney show at the time and she is often called ‘Lil’, ‘Silly Lilly’ or ‘Lily-Bear’ by those of us in the house. Lilly is a very sleepy cat and loves to sleep on anyone in reach. If there is no one to cuddle with, she’s either on her cat tower or the couch. Oddly enough, Lilly loves to play with backscratchers, which she goes crazy for. When she wants something, she will rub against us until we get her what she wants. She loves being pet and her favorite thing is when we brush her hair or scratch her neck. As stated above, this is the second operation Lilly must undergo, within a year. Our family has experienced work loss with Covid spreading through our house just a few months ago. Upon finding out about Lilly's cancer our family has been cutting every corner to save Lilly. Lilly has cancer in her mammary glands for the second time and it can be removed with a guarantee of this cancer not coming back. She was a champ when healing from her first surgery, and we want to give her the same opportunity this time around. It is crucial that Lilly receives treatment asap. She is getting surgery from Ferguson Animal Hospital and Dr. Nicole Deegan is her treating veterinarian. Lilly is a very timid cat, but when she hears a car beep or a siren she jumps up and starts growling. Other than that, she’s a quiet cat and can read everyone really well. She knows when someone is upset and will lay with them until they seem better. She's also a bit chunky, so when she goes to jump somewhere she goes up and down until she thinks she can make it, even if it's the smallest jump.
