Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Lulu, our 14-year-old tuxedo beauty! 🖤🤍 Despite her senior status, she’s as purrfectly sweet as can be and is ready to share her affection with a new family. Her former owners were long-time supporters of our shelter; after their mom passed away several years ago and her dad recently moved to memory care, this quiet and loving cat needed a new place to land. We stepped in to help Lulu in her time of need. This quiet and gentle lady loves to curl up next to you, always ready to fill your days with love. Senior cats like Lulu make wonderful companions, and she’s waiting to be the loving presence in a home she can call hers again.

Our adoption fees are $150 for kittens and $120 for adult cats.
6.

You will need a suitable carrier. If you don't already have one, please let our adoption team know, we may have one we can give you.
Additional adoption info
Prior to adoption, all of our cats are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on all shots (including deworming, distemper, all yearly inoculations, and rabies if old enough), microchipped, and tested for FIV and Feline Leukemia.
Cat Guardians rescues stray and abandoned cats who might otherwise not have a chance at adoption. We seek permanent, loving homes for our cat and kittens where they can live a long, happy and healthy life. For this reason we must ask you to read, understand and follow the following policies and then answer the following questions on the adoption application.
When You Have Decided to Adopt
After you have made the decision to add a new pet to your household, there are a few more steps to complete the process.
Important: All members of the household must come in prior to adoption.
Important: We do not usually do same-day adoptions. so you and your family can discuss the adoption and make sure that it is right for you, and also allow us time to complete all necessary paperwork.
FIRST
You must fill out an adoption application form. This form is reviewed by an adoption counselor who will contact you in response to your application.
SECOND
The shelter requires proof that you are able to have a pet in your home. If you are a renter, we must see a copy of your lease stating that you are allowed to have pets. If you are a homeowner, we need proof that you are currently making mortgage payments.
THIRD
Adoption fees help to cover the cost of first vaccinations, spaying/neutering, feline leukemia-AIDS tests, and worming (which may cost up to $400 per cat!). Adoption fees are $120 for adult cats and $150 for kittens.
FOURTH
When you come to take your new friend home, you must bring a sturdy carrier. We cannot let any cat or kitten leave the shelter unless it is safely secured. The cat carrier can serve several different purposes for your new friend. It can be its personal bed, and it can be used when taking the cat to the vet or other trips outside the house. Your cat will be much safer and happier in a carrier.
FINALLY
Once approved as an adoptive parent/family, you will be given an appointment to pick up your new feline friend on a day we are not open to the public. Please allow 45 minutes for the adoption process.
