Melbourne, Australia – A senior cat is patiently waiting for someone to take her home and love her as their own. The 11-year-old cat, Lovely, has been at the Australian Animal Protection Society for over 440 days – the heartbreaking sign on the outside of her enclosure reads “Please spend time with me.”

According to the animal welfare agency, Lovely’s original owner died. Surviving family took her in for a short time, then moved…leaving her behind. A friend attempted to care for Lovely, but after discovering that she was allergic, the cat was taken to the shelter. Last year, the shelter thought that they had found a good home for Lovely, but her adopter returned her because she meowed too much.

Lovely is receiving care at the shelter, and she has a nice enclosure where she spends her time..but it is not the same as a home, with a real family who she can love.

Please share Lovely’s information and help her find a committed, loving owner. Find the shelter on Facebook here.

Note: ALL inquiries about Lovely must be made directly to the shelter. Animal Victory is not the point of contact and has no affiliation with this cat, or the shelter. Thank you.
