Say hello to Lumi—a gentle soul with a brave story, a lot of love to give and a lot to say! This sweet, sleek and silky 3-year-old kitty came to NAWS after being rescued from a downstate shelter where she was at risk of euthanasia. Now she’s waiting—patiently, sweetly—for the person who will choose her and never let her feel overlooked again. Lumi is lovable, affectionate and eager for a fresh start with that special person or family.

Lumi is the kind of companion who makes a house feel warm. She’ll follow you from room to room, settle nearby while you work, and greet you with soft, chatty “updates” as if she’s been thinking about you all day. She doesn’t just want a place to live— Lumi wants a relationship, the steady comfort of being part of your everyday life.

If you’ve been hoping for a kitty who will meet you at the door, share the quiet moments, and remind you how healing it can be to be loved simply and completely, Lumi may be your perfect match. All she needs is a safe home, a little patience as she settles in, and someone who’s ready to say, “You’re home for good.”

All NAWS cats are spayed/neutered, micro-chipped, and up to date on vaccines.
