Kittens and cats in Monee, Illinois

Sox is a great cat. He is so friendly, loves to cuddle. He sleeps at night, which people are usually shocked by. He loves looking out windows and just relaxing. He is still playful. He is a big boy. I have been allergic to him but have been finding it hard to part with him. But with the repeated respiratory infections I have to let him go. I just really would like to find a good home to him. He loves attention but also loves his alone time. He has been raised around kids and other pets. His regime fee is small but he can also come with a cat tree and his travel bag if needed.

FOSTERED IN: Chicago, IL 60617 ESTIMATED DOB: 2020 COLOR/BREED: Black Shorthair KIDS: Teenage + DOGS: Yes CATS: Females HISTORY: Malcolm was an outdoor stray. His foster tries to care for and get as many of the neighborhood strays fixed as she can. Malcolm had been around for a few years but was incredibly friendly and kept asking to come inside, so his caretaker/foster couldn’t say no. Malcolm is FIV+ and FeLV+ Upon intake to Lulu’s he had bloodwork done that showed he was healthy enough to have the dental he desperately needed. ABOUT: If only Malcolm could tell us his story. His foster said he was one of the dominant males in the neighborhood prowling the neighborhood for about 5 years before he was neutered. Malcolm is both FIV and Feline Leukemia (FeLV) positive. Because FeLV is easily transmitted to other cats, he will need to be an only cat or live in a home with another FeLV positive cat. The lifespan of cats with FeLV can vary widely, but overall is unknown, so he will need a special adopter willing to love him for whatever time this world grants him. Malcolm is very low energy and likes to spend most of his time perfecting his napping skills. He likes his meals to be served on time and if you are late he will come get you and tell you that it is time. His foster used the following words to describe him: Gentlemanly, Sweet, Affectionate, Stoic, Quiet. Malcolm prefers to hide in unknown situations so he might take a little bit of time to warm up to his new family. His foster said he seems especially wary of teenage boys, so we aren’t sure if something happened in his years on the street to make him more nervous around males. He will likely be more attracted to females. Once he knows you he loves pets and cuddles and even likes to be held! Malcolm does great with the female cat in the house. He loves to groom her and sleep with her, but he doesn’t do as well with males. He generally ignores the large and small breed dogs, but he will curl up next to them for a nap so he would do very well in homes with cat-friendly dogs. He will be most comfortable in an adults only home as he isn’t curious about new things and instead chooses to hide until they are over. Do you have room in your home and heart for this special boy?

FOSTERED IN: Chicago, IL 60654 ESTIMATED DOB: 2017 COLOR/BREED: Orange Tabby Shorthair KIDS: Older DOGS: Unknown CATS: Required HISTORY: Henry2 came to us from an animal control facility in NW Indiana. ABOUT: Henry2 is a very docile, sweet, agreeable kitty. Henry2 is very playful and enjoys all kinds of toys, but his fishing pole is his favorite. He isn’t a bother when he wants to play, he just calmly sits in front of you until you get the hint. He will play as long as you will, but he accepts when playtime is over. Henry2 also enjoys watching TV (seriously) so once playtime is over he is happy to curl up next to you to watch your favorite show. Henry2 loves to be pet all over, and even has a cute quirk that he won’t start eating until you give him a few pets. Henry2 likes to have a little bit of time to warm up to new people before he wants to be pet by them, but he doesn’t run and hide. He is very curious and likes to watch the new people for a bit, before asking for some pets. Henry2 will do best in a home that loves to talk to him and give him pets and scratches and share his constant company (because he will always be nearby), but understands that Henry2 won’t be the cat who wants to be picked up, carried around, and smothered. Henry2 has done excellent with the resident cats in his foster home. He loves to snuggle with them at nap time and is happy to match their play style. He interacts more calmly with relaxed cats, and loves a good roughhouse with the cat who prefers that play style. Henry2 never initiates rough play, but he is happy to step up to the plate if it is offered to him. Henry2 needs to be adopted into a home with at least 1 resident cat. Having cat buddies around makes him feel comfortable and confident. He would be a great playmate or companion to another cat. Henry2 is not being fostered with dogs, but his foster thinks he may do ok in homes with the calmest of dogs who won’t be interested in him. Henry2 is also not being fostered with children. He will likely do OK in calm, predictable homes with older children who will give him gentle pets and play with him, but who can understand he won’t want to be treated like a toy. If you think this easygoing, friendly, loving boy is a just what your home is missing you can find information on adoption and our adoption application on our website: www.luluslockerrescue.org. Henry2 is a very sweet, mellow, yet playful, agreeable kitty. He enjoys gentle attention from people, but he will take a little time to develop trust with new people. He’s the type of guy that doesn’t demand to be touched, but will always be somewhere close by. He likes to be pet and brushed when he has already chosen a spot to settle in and lie down. He doesn’t like commotion or loud voices inside his home, but he has adapted to the noises of city life with no problem. Henry2 loves when someone has time to play with him using the wand toy or laser pointer. He is not needy for playtime and will entertain himself with toys or wait patiently for you when he is feeling playful. His foster mom said he is the perfect houseguest and never gets into any mischief or trouble. Henry2 is currently being fostered with cats and he gets along very well with them and enjoys interacting and snuggling with them. We will require that Henry2 be adopted into a home with a welcoming, resident cat. Henry2 will prefer a more predictable home with less activity. We do not feel that homes with young, active children will be ideal for him. We do not know how Henry2 does with dogs, but we think a home without dogs will suit him best. Are you interested in adopting a kitty that you can watch blossom? Henry2 is ready to find his patient, calm, forever home. The first step in our adoption process is to complete the adoption application. More information and our adoption application can be found at www.luluslockerrescue.org. Henry2 really does like to watch TV: https://youtube.com/shorts/aQlqA-I2DHY?feature=share Henry2 appreciates some good pets: https://youtu.be/oK-ykTicgsU Henry2 playing with the resident cat: https://youtube.com/shorts/OHr1xIxKLqU Henry2 watches his favorite show: https://youtube.com/shorts/S3ZphU8W0WU

FOSTERED IN: Chicago, IL 60654 ESTIMATED DOB: 2013 COLOR/BREED: Tabby and White Shorthair / Manx KIDS: No DOGS: Unknown CATS: No HISTORY: Bunny came to us from a rural underserved area. ABOUT: Bunny’s foster family describes her as: Chatty, Affectionate, Cuddly, Sweet, and Spicy. Bunny is very affectionate, without being needy. Bunny has excellent communication skills, and will follow you around and inform you of her need for pets. She can hold her own when you aren’t at home. When you are home and you are sitting down, Bunny will likely be nearby…and by near, we mean probably sitting on you. Bunny is a character and has a personality a true cat lover will enjoy. Her foster said she is 90% sweet, and 10% spicy. Bunny can occasionally get overstimulated with too much play or attention causing her to swat or nibble at you to tell you she is done. Bunny is very flexible on where she likes to nap, sometimes she’ll curl up ON you for a nap, and other times she likes to go under the bed for a snooze by herself, but she’ll almost certainly join you in bed at bedtime. Bunny is 10 years old but she has not hung up her sports equipment - when she’s feeling athletic she enjoys playing with wand toys and jingle balls. (She has asked if all adopters can provide proof of jingle balls before adoption.) Bunny is a low-maintenance girl when it comes to meal times as she prefers hard food. She does have a soft spot for Churu tubes and tuna as special treats. Bunny will do best in an adult-only home as she can get overstimulated with petting and play at times. Bunny has seen another cat in her foster home and didn’t seem especially pleased, so will do best as an only cat. We do not have any information on how Bunny would do with dogs. Bunny has been a champ getting in her carrier if she needs to go somewhere. If she thinks it’s coming she will try to hide, but she doesn’t fight the inevitable and has even been spotted taking a nap in her carrier on the drive. She has even traveled with her fosters a few times and has done really well in each environment. Bunny enjoys gentle face scritches. https://youtu.be/rsvTbbYCV9Y Bunny’s foster finds the spot: https://youtube.com/shorts/VzLiQ5In79Y Bunny makes some biscuits while she gets some pets: https://youtu.be/xZP8iut8thc

FOSTERED IN: - Frankfort, IL 60423 ESTIMATED DOB: 01/2020 COLOR/BREED: Tabby Shorthair KIDS: Yes DOGS: Unknown CATS: Yes HISTORY: Disney came from a hoarding situation and was transferred to our care from one of our overcrowded shelter partners. ABOUT: Disney is ready to walk right into your home like he owns the place. We're pretty sure he'll take over your heart in the same manner. This super friendly, social boy is like having a dog without all the hassle. He has a deep, throaty purr befitting a cat his size. There's almost never a time where he doesn't want pets and attention - sometimes he'll literally throw himself at your feet and roll over to encourage you to reach down and give him a massage. Sometimes, he'll paw at your lap when you're sitting down so you can pick him up and give him a hug. Unlike most cats, he doesn't seem to have a spot that is "off limits". Disney isn't shy with strangers, so he's likely to make instant friends with any visitors you have over. He also does well with other cats, but sometimes he tends to push their buttons (he can't help it - he just has no respect for personal space), but isn't aggressive. Now, there is one more thing you should know. Disney has tested positive for FIV (Feline immunodeficiency virus), but this will not prevent him from living a long, happy life. The disease can only affect felines and is rarely spread to altered, friendly FIV-negative cats. It cannot be spread by sharing litter boxes, food dishes, playing or grooming. Transmission is only possible through deep puncture wounds (think non-neutered male cats fighting over territories) - again, Disney is a lover not a fighter, and is not the type to get into these types of serious scuffles with another friendly housemate. Additionally, he does not require any medicine for his condition, but since his immune system is a bit more suppressed than normal, he has the potential to get sick easier. For indoor cats, this is generally a non-issue as he will not be exposed to diseases and viruses in the safety of his home. Don't be scared by the myths people (and even some veterinarians!) spread about FIV. Take your time and do the research, and make your own decision about whether adopting an FIV cat is right for you if you have other felines at home. Disney also has a heart murmur, but he is asymptomatic and has been cleared for adoption by our cardiologist. Interested in adding this handsome, outgoing guy to your family? The first step is to fill out our adoption application. More information and our adoption application can be found at www.luluslockerrescue.org.

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.
