Talulah - Tabby and Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Talulah, also known as Lula, is a two-year-old tabby with enormous green eyes that will stop you mid-sentence and fur so impossibly soft you'll forget what you were doing. With some generous rounds of petting - you'll have Talulah's heart.

Talulah has a way of nudging your hand that makes "just five more minutes of petting" feel non-negotiable. She has also self-appointed herself as HR manager of the household: if you work from home, expect regular check-ins.

Lula is a sweetheart with other cats, flopping on her belly nearby to signal her trust. She would thrive with someone who is home often and would love a feline companion to share the couch with. She sleeps at the foot of the bed, accepts belly rubs indefinitely, and is genuinely easy to groom. Talulah is ready to find somewhere she can cozy up for the long run!

If you live in Chicago and are interested in learning more about Talulah please contact Toni McNaughton at tonimcn@rcn.com and Lisa Ward at catladychicago@yahoo.com. Please tell us a bit about your situation, what you are looking for, the composition of your current household (the other humans and/or pets who already live there). Inquires with these questions answered are responded to promptly.

We are always in need of foster homes. If you are not able to adopt, but are interested in fostering or know someone who might be, we would love to hear from you! Please contact Toni McNaughton at tonimcn@rcn.com or Lisa Ward at catladychicago@yahoo.com to learn more. Photos by Valeria Lopez
