Happily Homed: Freyja (Lucy)

We have an #adoptionupdate from Sarah who adopted Lucy (now Freja, named after the Norse Goddess) in November 2024. Sarah was looking to meet all the blacky kitties, but was mostly looking for any kitty that would cuddle, enjoy a quiet and loving home, and be good with their two other kitties. After meeting Freyja, who is a gorgeous golden and black torbie, they fell in love. She was hidden under some blankets and not super social with other cats at the shelter, but Sarah is glad they took the time to sit with her and pet her at the shelter because she is so sweet and clearly loved to have attention. 

“She has a quirky and playful personality that is shining through now that she knows she has a loving furrever home. She likes to give you little love nibbles when she’s really happy and purring. She loves belly rubs too and it’s not a trap like with other cats!

“We spent a week introducing her to her big brothers slowly and now she has full range of the house and all three of them are tolerating and getting used to another kitty in the house. We provide lots of playtime and make sure they have food at various places around the house so they don’t fight. She has started having zoomies and has already found several favorite places in the house to hang out. 

“Freyja loves chasing felted balls and string toys. She also really loves these glazed salmon treats so we’ve been giving that to her for getting along well with her brothers and for taking her meds. When we adopted her she had eye drops from the shelter and we’ve had to continue that treatment for a bit. She’s such a good girl taking them. She also really loves fuzzy bathrobes, which we both have on regularly since it’s winter. She’ll capture you for hours on the couch and make biscuits on your robe and cuddle up in your lap. It’s the best.”
