About Lamu

Lamu is a delightful companion who enjoys curling up next to you. Wherever you go, she follows, ready to find a cozy spot for attention or a cozy nap. This affectionate feline is quick to seek out head scratches from anyone she meets. Despite her warm personality, Lamu prefers to give affection more than receive it. Despite her sweet nature, she can be a bit vocal, often chirping to announce her presence when she greets you. Lamu loves to play, especially with stick toys or small mice, where you might catch her diving or swatting in excitement. Due to her independent nature, she might need some time to adjust to a new environment. Given her disposition, Lamu would thrive in an adult-only home with experienced cat owners, as she can feel anxious with too much attention or the presence of small children. This spayed tabby is about 2 years old and weights 8.2 lbs. She's in Ridgewood, NY, ready to find her forever home. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
