From The Cat-Alog | Meet Zuulie

Ever since Justin and I got our house we've been talking about getting another cat to be friends with Laveau and about three weeks ago we got serious about it.

After days of searching, looking into different rescues, filling out adoption applications, having phone interviews (It was a pain this time around because of COVID restrictions at all the rescues) and meeting cats we didn't vibe with, we met an almost three month old black and white domestic short hair at Last Hope Rescue who I let Justin name Zuulie (Because as you may or may not know, he is a huge Ghostbusters fan)

We've had her for almost two weeks at this point and we absolutely love her. I can't say the same for Laveau, she is very apprehensive about her but Zuulie desperately wants to be her friend.

If you like cats you can follow Zuulie on Instagram at @OnlyZuulie. And if you aren't already, you can follow Laveau at @LaveauCat.
