Story
Lulu is a sweet girl who hates my other cats. We’ve made it work by making her a heated cat condo. She stays in my back yard. She will not come in the house due to one of my cats. I think she would be great as an only cat. She loves to sit with you in the sun. I am relocating to another country and moving her will impossible. A quiet home is all she needs.

Story
She will be 4 years old in March of 2025. She was born to a barn cat and we have had her since she was weaned. She is very easy going, never scratches or hisses. Is not one to climb in your lap but will sit near you if you are still as she wants to feel safe. She loves outside but we have kept her inside for the last year as she was bit by a dog last summer. She currently lives with another cat and gets along well and plays. She is used to eating through out the day on her own and is litter trained. We have had no problems with peeing around the house. She uses her scratching post well and is not one to scratch furniture.

Story
She was born to a stray in our neighborhood in 2003. We have had ever since. Had her spayed at one. She is an easy going cat, will not scratch or bite. Does not love to be held, but will lay next to you. She loves to be brushed. She lives with a 3 year old cat and they play occasionally, chasing each other around the house and wrestling. She also loves to play with hair bands and will chase those as well. She is currently kept in doors but she does love the outside and is a great hunter if you have problems with mice. Her ear is clipped to denote that she is spayed and was originally a stray. We have not had her shots updated since she was one. Would probably be good to get that done. She has not been around dogs so I don't know how she would react to that. She is good at scratching on her post and does not scratch furniture. She is litter trained and we have never had a problem with her going around the house.
