OLD TOWN, Idaho — A cat is in need of a good home. All you need  is
$20,000, 10 pounds a meat a day and space, lots of it.

Inside  Newport feed and pet, past the rabbits, raccoon and lizards
you’ll find  Lilly.

“She’s very friendly, very playful,” said David  Vanderholm.

She just so happens to be a 350 pound Bengal Tiger.  Vanderholm rescued
the cat from a poacher nine years ago.

“She’s an  oversized kitty cat, she’s big, she’s awesome,” said Lynda
Taylor, one of  Lilly’s biggest fans.

Lilly has called Newport Feed and Pet home ever  since she was rescued.

“Over the last year, we’ve had her on and off and  we have received
quite a few complaints,” said Vanderholm.

The biggest  complaint? Neighbors are worried about the size of her
pen. They say it’s too  small, but David says vets have recommended the
pen to be this size because  she’s been diagnosed with FIV, a form of
HIV in animals.

“We were  cautioned by vets if we kept her activity a little bit lower
that it should  stay in remission, so far it has,” said Vanderholm.

Despite the  explanation, the complaints have become to many and too
much.

“We  decided to go ahead and put her up for sale and give people the
opportunity  to kind of put their money where their mouth has been for
the last number of  years,” said David.

The asking price? $20,000, but money alone won’t be  enough to take
Lilly home.

“First of all they’d have to agree that  nothing is ever going to
happen to her,” said Vanderholm. “Never euthanize,  not going to sell
her to a taxidermist.”

And while some would like her  to go to a sanctuary, David says it’s
not an option because she doesn’t have  experience around other tigers.

While the complaints have made Lilly a  sore spot in Old Town, she’s
also the reason why so many people stop by the  store.

“Just to see one this close up is totally awesome,” said Taylor,  who
visits Lilly at least once a week.

Taylor has mixed emotions about  the for sale sign now posted on
Lilly’s pen.

“Hopefully she’ll be able  to get in a bigger, more natural
atmosphere,” she said.
