Connor Liudahl, a foster volunteer with the Homeward Animal Shelter took in Lilac, a 1-year-old kitten a few weeks ago after his last foster was adopted. “We had space and we were like, ‘We’ll take her.' "
Lilac came to the Homeward Animal Shelter through the pound because she was a stray on the streets. "She's still playful. Very much a kitten," Liudahl said.
Liudahl said Lilac needs some time to get used to you and having the patience for her is important. "She definitely has a personality," he said. If she doesn't get to do what she likes to do she'll hiss at you and get a little aggressive, but you just need to respect her boundaries."

Because Liudahl has fostered Lilac only a few weeks, he hasn't seen how she interacts around other playful cats. He and his roommate have a cat of their own and so far Lilac hasn't gotten along with it.
"Our cat definitely has a mind of its own,"Liudahl said. "He doesn't want to be messed with. So from their interactions we don't see she's very good with cats." He added he doesn't think she'd be very good with dogs.
Liudahl said Lilac is excited and wants to play. "She's very eager to learn new things. She's curious," he said.
