About Lilly
Say hello to sweet Lilly! This lovely girl, born in January 2025, found her way into PMAWS care at just six months old with her four adorable kittens in tow. Despite being such a young mum, Lilly's sweet and affectionate nature shone through as she lovingly raised her kittens until they were ready to find families of their own. Now, it's Lilly's turn to find a loving home where she will be cherished as the queen she is.
Lilly's friendly demeanor makes her a wonderful companion for families, as she is great with kids and other cats. Her gentle and kind nature makes her a joy to have around, and she'll quickly become a cherished member of any household. While dogs are still a new concept for her, a gentle introduction could see her adapting well to coexist with a canine companion. If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate cat to welcome into your home, Lilly might just be the perfect match to bring warmth and companionship to your life.

Introducing a Kitten/Cat into a new home (especially where either a dog or cat already lives) can be a difficult challenge. It requires patience, perseverance and supervision.
Once your new kitten/cat arrives home, he or she should be made to feel safe in their own room - we call this the "sanctuary". No other cat or dog should be allowed into this room until they are fully comfortable with their new surroundings. The kitten/cat will need bedding, food, water, a view out of a window and somewhere to hide. A good idea in dog and cat families is also a 2 metre tall scratching post, where a kitten/cat can retreat if they need to.
Keep the kitten/cat in a room for the first few days, then, gradually, using a series of wooden chocks (or similar), open the door slightly to allow paws and noses to meet. It can then be opened further to allow the kitten/cat in and out, but not the older cat or dog in. We recommend that this should be continued for 14 days.
PMAWS URGES ALL OWNERS TO KEEP THEIR CATS INDOORS FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY. THERE ARE PEOPLE AROUND WHO AREN'T FOND OF CATS AND CAN DO UNTHINKABLE THINGS TO OUR DEFENCELESS LITTLE BABIES. THEY HAVE ALSO BEEN KNOWN TO BE COLLECTED AND USED AS LIVE BAIT FOR DOG TRAINING AND FISHING LURES, AND ALSO KITTENS AS LIVE SNAKE FOOD. THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP YOUR KITTY 100% SAFE, IS TO KEEP THEM INDOORS AND WE WHOLEHEARTEDLY ENCOURAGE THIS PRACTICE.
