Tulsi: A sweet lap cat
If you are interested in meeting Tulsi, please call Sun Cities 4 Paws Rescue, 623-876-8778 or 623-773-2246 after 9 a.m.
Tulsi is patiently awaiting a forever home and can now be featured; with a hold on black cats at shelters during October, this endearing 2 ½ year old is eager to move on. She has been a mama to five babies and had been rescued as a stray. Her caregivers can’t say enough about how sweet she is and is truly a lap cat. Although she does have some sort of allergy, it is well under control with her special food. Tulsi is not at all fond of other cats. It would be a happy day for her to find a real home in which to spend Thanksgiving, Christmas, and all the other days to follow.
How to adopt: See her at Sun Cities 4 Paws Rescue, 11129 Michigan Ave., Youngtown. Adoptions are Tuesdays-Saturdays, 10-3 p.m.; phone 623-876-8778 after 10 a.m. Other locations for adoptions are Surprise PetSmart, 13764 Bell Road, and Lake Pleasant Towne Center Parkway PetSmart, 25372 Lake Pleasant Parkway, Peoria.
