Lizzie


Lizzie came to the sanctuary at the age of about seven, having been surrendered for peeing.

The adjustment was not an easy one for her, and it took about a year before she'd let people at RAPS touch her. She was hyper anxious and would scream if she so much as saw a hand coming toward her. Leslie says people used to shout out to anyone at the sanctuary who might have heard the noise that nobody was hurting anybody.


Lizzie's mellowed out a lot since then, turning into a very friendly cat. Friendly with humans, anyway. She's not a fan of the other cats and has no problem telling them so.

      Aw, thanks! The sideways headbutt in the last one still makes me laugh. Lizzie and I were both having a great time.

    She wasn't always friendly with people, which earned her the nickname of Lizzie Borden....
