Lucy is fine looking young lady. She's got a lot of soul in those eyes.....

Do you know what the illness was? Although Lucy's hissing is most likely a stress-response to all of the upheaval in her life, another factor might be that she smells the previous cat's medical problem, which could be adding to her unease. That will also likely wane as time goes on, so either way, patience is the key (along with interactive play-time and yummy treats!). All the best to Lucy and her new forever home, and to you for rescuing her.
