Livvy

My story

Meet Livvy – The Gentle Soul with a Heart Full of Love Livvy isn’t the kind of cat who will run to greet you with a meow the first time you meet her. In fact, when she arrived at our shelter on March 7th, she barely wanted to be seen at all. Just one year old, Livvy came to us unsure of the world, keeping to herself and staying tucked into the quietest corners she could find. Her big eyes spoke volumes—full of caution, curiosity, and the tiniest glimmer of hope. That hope has grown. With time, patience, and lots of gentle care, Livvy has transformed into one of the most affectionate and quietly loving cats we’ve had the joy of knowing. Once too timid to come forward, she now greets familiar friends with soft purrs and slow blinks. She leans in for pets, climbs into laps, and will melt into you during a long cuddle session. She’s the kind of cat who makes you feel like you’ve earned her love—and that’s a powerful feeling. Livvy is still a little shy around new people, and she doesn’t show off in a crowd. She prefers to get to know you slowly. She may watch from across the room at first, or cautiously sniff your hand before deciding if you’re worth her time (and trust us, she’s got high standards). But if you sit quietly and let her come to you, you'll soon find a soft head pressed into your palm, or a gentle paw resting on your leg. These are Livvy’s love notes—small gestures that say, “I’m ready, if you are.” She has a calm, serene presence and would thrive in a peaceful home, where she can continue to grow her confidence without loud noises or sudden changes. She's a cat who appreciates quiet moments—a sunny window, a soft blanket, a kind voice. She’s more than happy to spend the afternoon curled up beside you while you read or work, offering her company in the form of purrs and the occasional biscuit-making session on your lap. Livvy also has a playful side that comes out once she’s comfortable. She enjoys string toys, feather wands, and the satisfying pounce of a sneak attack from behind a pillow. Her play is graceful and gentle—more soft ballet than wild zoomies. We think Livvy would do best in a home without too much chaos—possibly as a solo cat, or with a calm feline companion. She doesn’t ask for much, just kindness, patience, and someone who will give her the space to come into her own. And when she does? She will give you all the quiet affection and heartfelt loyalty you could ever want in a companion. Livvy has been with us for several months, and she’s come so far. What she needs now is a place to belong. A home where her quiet bravery will be met with love, and her soft spirit will be cherished. If you’re the kind of person who finds beauty in the shy ones, who understands that the deepest bonds take time to build, and who wants to share your life with a cat who will love you in her own gentle way—Livvy is waiting to meet you. She’s ready to go home. Maybe it’s yours.
