Meet Lulu — a cat for someone who truly “gets” cats.Lulu is a striking black-and-white harlequin girl with a calm, observant personality and a confident presence. She isn’t needy or chaotic — she’s thoughtful, aware, and happiest in a peaceful home where life is predictable and respectful.Lulu must be the only pet. She becomes stressed around other animals and needs a single-pet household to feel secure and relaxed. For that reason, she’s also best suited to a quiet, adult-only home.She forms a strong bond with her person, but on her own terms. Lulu is not a lap cat or a constant cuddler — instead, she prefers to share your space, follow routines, and quietly keep you company. When she trusts you, she’s deeply loyal and comforting to have nearby. She communicates clearly and appreciates someone who understands feline body language and gives her space when she asks for it.Lulu is 2.5 years old and would thrive with an experienced cat owner who enjoys a companion with independence and personality. Respect her boundaries, and she will reward you with steady companionship and a genuine connection that feels earned.If you’ve ever said, “I like cats because they’re not dogs,” Lulu might be your perfect match.Apply today at https://hcpawpals.org/cat-adoption-form/and see if Lulu is meant to be your one and only.** Veterinary references and, in some cases, home checks are part of our adoption process.

ACCEPTING PRE-ADOPTION APPLICATIONSQuill is a handsome 3-month-old domestic short-hair brown mackerel tabby with a classic agouti base and a gentle, thoughtful personality.Personality and Play StyleThis sweet little boy is quiet and shy at first, taking a little time to feel comfortable in new surroundings. Once he begins to trust, his affectionate side starts to shine. Quill absolutely loves attention, but he has a very distinct, laid-back style.

He will thrive in a calm, patient home with a friendly feline companion who can help him continue building his confidence. While he can be a little fearful in unfamiliar situations, gentle encouragement helps this sweet boy blossom.Quill is scheduled to be neutered on 8/7/2026 before joining his adoptive family.
