Lilly – Ragdoll of the Week
Lilly – Ragdoll of the Week
Miss Lilly’s former human (Kelsey who also follows you I believe) accepted an opportunity to go to China and teach English to a grade school. As she was unable to take Lilly and her family had plenty of Ragdolls, Kelsey put a posting on Craigslist for a rehome. I moved to Topeka for a promotion and finally had an apartment who would allow pets so I was searching for a Ragdoll as I have loved the breed for a long time. We decided to meet so I could see if Miss Lilly and I would be a good match. I drove all the way to Peculiar Missouri to meet them. As we met, I was instantly in love with her! Who adopted who is left for interpretation. 🙂 I needed Lilly’s companionship as much as she needed a good home.
Miss Lilly and I traveled back home to Topeka, KS and she cried all the way. I had everything ready, a mansion litter box, water fountain, new toys and waited to see what kind of food. Luckily, Grace gave me the type of food so she would have some to start with. When we got to the apartment, Lilly found a safe spot in my closet for like three days. I was so sad and was starting to wonder what I did wrong. I took her food and water in there to try getting her to come out. The next day, I took her into our Vet and made friends so we would be connected. And she was due for her shots, so it was a good time.

When Jenny posted that Lilly would be Ragdoll of the week Jan 26th, I made a mental note not to miss her, because I fell in love with her picture and her ‘mustache’! I love her story…I am sad that someone posted her on Craigslist (NO NO) but happy that you adopted her and love her so much. She sounds like a gem. I wish you both a very long happy life together with lots more snuggling ♥♥ She’s a beauty, and thank you for being the person that got her…!!!
