My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

FOSTERED IN: Schererville, IN 46375
ESTIMATED DOB: 08/2011
COLOR/BREED: Orange Tabby Shorthair
KIDS: Older
DOGS: Unknown
CATS: Yes

HISTORY:
Mandarin came to us from a suburban animal control facility.

ABOUT:
Mandarin loves attention and will happily accept it from everyone, including visitors, but he does not enjoy being held or hugged. He does love to take naps on your lap. Mandarin was in a temporary foster home who said he is very easy to care for. He is happy to entertain himself while you are gone, but he loves interaction and even likes to join in on zoom conference calls. He is a very hard worker and likes to make biscuits everywhere.

Mandarin is around 12 years old but still has a playful side and enjoys light beams and balls in particular. He is not afraid to explore or try new things. Mandarin also enjoys drinking out of the giant, cool, water bowl in the bathroom…if you know what we mean.

Mandarin hasn’t been fostered with children. In his foster home he did meet a 14 year old and loved all the attention, but he doesn’t like to be picked up so he would do best with older children who can respect his preferences. Mandarin has been housed in our adoption center and he does very well with the other cats.

Mandarin has been diagnosed with mild Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy or HCM. He currently does not take any medication for this condition, but it was recommended that he receive a repeat echocardiogram in 9-12 months to monitor progress. The prognosis for HCM is variable.

Mandarin’s foster home described him as clean, friendly, mellow, playful, and independent. If this sounds like a good match for your home the first step is to fill out our adoption application. More information and our adoption application can be found at www.luluslockerrescue.org.

More about this rescue

Lulu’s Locker Rescue is a nonprofit, volunteer-run companion animal rescue working to bring to light the plight of black cats and dogs in shelters as well as the misconceptions surrounding FIV cats. We aim to lower the euthanasia rate of these animals by educating the public and providing foster care as we seek out permanent homes. We are committed to the protection of the misjudged and wrongly stereotyped through compassion and respect, which we believe both animals and human beings deserve.

We are based out of Frankfort, IL, and rescue cats and dogs in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.
