A stray cat showed up for food, but she was unlike the others. Once indoors, she let her true self shine.

A kind-hearted woman went to care for a feral colony when she came across a brown tabby that stood out.
She didn't think much of it at first, assuming it was another feral cat with similar markings. That is until the tabby approached her. "This brown tabby came over and was so sweet and loving. She realized this was a different cat," Aimee, president of Catz 4 Life, shared with Love Meow.
While the others were wary of people and kept their distance, this tabby brushed against her finder, asking for food and affection.

"She just walked right up to the feeder and was perfectly content being picked up and held. She was too friendly to remain a 'stray' in a feral colony."
The finder reached out for help, hoping to find the tabby a loving home. They couldn't locate a microchip, and no one stepped forward to claim the cat. "She felt safe as soon as the woman who rescued her brought her to the vet and then to her foster mom."

Laura, a volunteer for Catz 4 Life, welcomed the cat, Lulu, into her care. In no time, Lulu made herself at home and began following her foster mom everywhere.
She climbed onto Laura's lap, snuggling in as close as possible, purring contentedly, and stretching her paws in pure bliss. "She is a lover. She cannot get close enough to her foster mom."

By the end of the day, she melted into her human's lap and fell soundly asleep, as if she knew she was finally in good hands.
"She's been so sweet since we got her. She loves to give hugs and sleep with her foster mom while she hugs her. She's very protective and doesn't want the resident cats to be close when her foster mom is with her."

"She's not the type of cat that wants to hide. She is totally the opposite."
Lulu is fond of her toys, but nothing compares to her love for her people. The moment she curls up on them, her purr motor kicks in, and her "biscuit-making" begins. She craves affection so much that she nudges her people for more.

Whenever Laura is in the foster room, Lulu nestles into her arms or lap, nuzzling for kisses and placing her paw on Laura's hand as she holds her close. "If you look up the definition of 'love bug,' you'll find a picture of her."
"Lulu can't get close enough, and if you have a lap, expect for her to be in it."

After many attempts to introduce Lulu to the resident cats, it's clear that Lulu wants to be someone's one and only. While Laura showers her with love and cuddles, she knows there's a perfect family out there who can treat Lulu like the queen she is.
She is a loyal companion who shadows her humans everywhere, leaving a trail of purrs in her wake.

Lulu prefers curling up in her foster mom's arms all day over sunbathing by the window. Her top priorities are people, food, and toys, in that order.
As long as she's with her humans, she feels safe and content.

Thanks to many compassionate individuals, Lulu is back in her element as a happy, spoiled indoor cat. She continues to dole out cuddles every day while waiting for the perfect family to find her.
