Lucy Lou sat behind shelter bars in Illinois for 1,141 days. Day after day, people walked past her cage like she wasn’t even there. Her eyes looked tired, like her hope was running out. She was gentle, quiet, and still waiting for someone to choose her.
Many didn’t stop because she was FIV positive. Others walked away just because she was a black cat. Superstitions and fear kept her trapped, even though all she wanted was a soft bed and safe arms.
Imagine how many nights she fell asleep alone, listening to the shelter sounds, wondering why love never came. A sweet soul should never be forgotten like that.
