Cat of the Month: Lulu Lemon
Meet Lulu Lemon. The sweet, gentle soul who’s ready to bloom in the right home. 🌸
This 1-year-9-month-old brown tabby girl is shy at first, but don’t let that fool you. Lulu has a quiet strength and a personality that unfolds beautifully when given time and patience.
She’s happiest in her cozy hut bed, where she feels safe and secure. But come mealtime? She presents herself like clockwork, proving just how food-motivated (and routine-loving) she really is. Food is definitely the way to her heart!
Lulu enjoys gentle pets, though you’ll need to go slow and let her set the pace. She won’t ask for affection, but when you approach her calmly and respectfully, she’ll show you just how sweet she can be. She’ll even play by herself when the mood strikes, exploring on her own terms.
Lulu would thrive in a quiet, patient home where she has time to acclimate and come out of her shell. She’s not a cat who rushes into anything, but once she trusts you, the bond you’ll build will be worth every moment.
If you’re looking for a gentle companion who appreciates the slower, softer things in life and who needs someone willing to meet her where she is, Lulu Lemon might be your perfect match.
Kitten Season is Here: What to Do When You Find Kittens
Spring and summer bring adorable kittens, but if you find kittens outdoors, the best thing to do isn’t always what you might think.
Before you scoop them up, pause. In most cases, the best place for kittens is with their mother. She’s likely nearby, searching for food or waiting for a safe moment to return.
If you’ve found kittens outdoors, here are some helpful resources to guide your next steps:
- Leave Them Be: A Guide to Kittens Outdoors – Alley Cat Allies. Learn when to intervene and when to wait for mom to return.
- Kitten Outdoors Poster – Alley Cat Allies. A quick visual guide to help you assess the situation.
- Kitten Season Flow Chart – Wake County Animal Services. Step-by-step guidance on what to do when you find kittens.
- Found a Kitten? Here’s What to Do – Best Friends Animal Society. Practical advice for assessing kittens’ age, health, and next steps.
When in doubt, observe before you act. These resources will help you make the best decision for the kittens and their mother.
