Meet Race Car – The Skittish Sweetheart in the Slow Lane to Love Looking for a fixer-upper of the feline variety? Say hello to Race Car—a shy, special boy who`s not breaking any speed records when it comes to trust, but who just might be worth every patient mile. Race Car is looking for a calm, adult-only indoor home with someone who understands that winning his heart won’t be easy—but oh, the victory lap will be sweet. He’s not a fan of loud noises, chaos, or dogs (hard pass on canines, thank you very much), but he might do okay with a very social, gentle cat friend after a long, slow introduction.His secret weakness? Churu and treats. Use those wisely and you just might get a nose boop or two. He loves cozying up in comfy hiding spots, lounging on high perches, and quietly observing his kingdom from above. To help him feel secure and thrive, Race Car’s pit crew will need to provide:Tons of toys, especially solo and interactive onesCat trees and sturdy scratching postsWindow perches for quiet birdwatchingSoft blankets and hidey holes for comfort and decompressionWet food, treats, and Churu (aka his peace offerings of choice)Race Car may not zoom into your lap on day one, but deep down, there’s a sweet kitty in the making—he just needs someone willing to put in the time, patience, and love. If you’ve got a quiet home, a kind heart, and snack skills to match, this cautious cutie could be your ultimate underdog win.

Meet LuLu – Queen of Kisses, Cuddles, and One Very Fancy Diet Looking for a kitty who will shower you with love (literally)? Say hello to LuLu, the sweetest smooch-giver in town! This affectionate little lady lives to love and isn`t shy about showing it—expect lots of gentle kisses, sweet snuggles, and a whole lot of purring. LuLu is on the lookout for a cozy indoor-only home where she can be the star of the show. She`s great with mature kids who can respect her space and her special dietary needs—because here’s the deal: LuLu has a long history of allergies. She’s prone to flare-ups and will need an established vet to help keep her comfy and happy. Future adopters should be prepared for a kitty who may need medications or a prescription diet to help manage her allergies—but we promise, the love and kisses are totally worth it.While LuLu prefers to be your one and only feline, she may be okay sharing her kingdom with a small, cat-savvy dog after a slow and thoughtful introduction. To keep this kissy queen feeling her best, her dream home includes:Tons of toys, especially interactive ones to keep her playfulCat trees and scratching posts for climbing and loungingWindow perches for birdwatching and sun napsComfy nap zones and cozy hidey holes for when she needs a breakA touch of catnip to spice up her dayAnd most importantly, her beloved Sheba wet food (and whatever her vet recommends!)If you’re ready to open your heart to a loving, kiss-happy kitty who needs a little extra care but gives a lot in return, LuLu is waiting to meet you.
