Story
Lumi is a loving cat. She has a lot of energy, is talkative, but can be shy or standoffish at times. She is more of an observer than a participant. Loves to be in your lap, LOVES food, but has a sensitive stomach and eats too fast around other animals so she is fed in her own room. loves to be brushed, will snuggle at night. loves to be on top of soft blanket piles, and under beds. very curious and mentally engaged. looking for a home that can cater to sensitive tummy and asthma. very loyal companion, she will follow you everywhere in the house. indoor cat ONLY. not a big fan of outside, does okay with car rides in crate. never shown aggression of any sort. I love her dearly but cannot provide her best care anymore to give her the best quality of life possible. Would love to get her into a loving home that keeps me updated with pictures and keeping in touch!

Story
I have a young, Flame Point Himalayan that I adopted from my local shelter at the end of September. She was estimated to be 2 years old, but she is probably closer to 9 or 10 months old. She is extremely active, i.e. jumping on my two other adult Persians whenever they go to eat or use their litter boxes, biting their ears, etc. I was hoping she would mellow, but she is atypical of the breed (in my experience), and continues to be relentless. I work from home and try to redirect her but, I am concerned about the stress she is causing to my older cats. This is not an easy decision for me, but I do not think this is a good match. I am looking for a home without any other cats or maybe a home with another younger cat (or maybe even a dog). Essie is a good eater, and she is litterbox compliant. Please let me know if you think you would be a potential match.
