Avie Lee, a beautiful silver dilute torbie queen with soft green eyes, a pleasantly plump little figure, a spotted belly she dares you to touch, and the most perfectly heart-shaped taupe nose you have ever seen. She is gorgeous, yes, but the most beautiful thing about Avie Lee is the heart that has carried her through a lifetime of rejection.
For three long years, Avie Lee has known what it feels like to be unwanted by the very humans she once trusted.
When she brought home fleas, her previous owners chose to put her outside rather than treat her. Then she became pregnant. As her belly grew and the time to give birth drew near, she repeatedly tried to return to the only home she had ever known. She wanted the familiar faces, the familiar comforts, the safety she thought would always be hers. But the door remained closed.
Instead of being spayed and protected, Avie Lee was left outside to fend for herself, litter after litter, raising her babies alone. She became a mama because nobody made sure she wouldn’t have to be. She gave and gave, protecting her kittens and doing the best she could with the life she was handed, all while having no one to protect her.
And because she was left to navigate the world among unneutered stray tomcats, Avie Lee contracted FIV. Another consequence of a life she never chose. Another reason she deserves the safety of an indoor home, where she can finally rest without worrying about what tomorrow might bring.
Now, Avie Lee is safe at the clinic, but safety and belonging are not quite the same thing.
She watches other cats receive visitors, enjoy meet and greets, head off to foster homes, and finally leave for their forever families. One by one, they get their chance. And Avie Lee is still waiting.
After spending years raising babies and trying to earn her way back into a home that no longer wanted her, she is once again watching life happen for everyone else.
How much longer must this girl wait?
Please don’t mistake her occasional sass for a lack of sweetness. Avie Lee has a strong spirit, a resilient heart, and a personality that has survived more disappointment than any cat should ever have to endure. Like many women who have been scorned one too many times, she has opinions. She may protest when she’s told she can’t do what she wants, and she is thoroughly over being chased around and returned to her condo. Can you blame her? After years of having so little control over her own life, she would really love to make a few decisions for herself.
Beneath that sassy exterior is a lovely, trusting girl who still wants what every cat deserves: freedom, companionship, affection, and a place where she belongs. She hasn’t let the world take away her capacity to trust. She hasn’t given up on the possibility that someone might finally choose her.
Avie Lee has spent her life caring for kittens who eventually moved on to their own futures. Now, this beautiful mama deserves a future of her own. One where she never has to raise another litter, sleep outside, or wonder why she wasn’t wanted. One where she can stretch out in a sunny window, show off that spotted belly on her own terms, and settle into the kind of peaceful indoor life she should have had all along.
FIV does not mean Avie Lee cannot live a happy, fulfilling life as a beloved companion. With appropriate veterinary care and a safe indoor home, she has so much life and love left to give.
Please, let Avie Lee’s story have a different ending.
Foster her. Adopt her. Be the person who sees past her circumstances and recognizes the beautiful, deserving soul underneath. Be the person who finally opens the door and never makes her beg to come inside again.
Avie Lee has spent three years being unwanted. She deserves a lifetime of being someone’s cherished girl.
Please give this sweet, sassy queen her chance. Her happily ever after is long overdue. 💎 💖
