Meet lovely Luma<3
Luma - Lu - mah
Noun | lovely, impish, fearful, playful, affectionate, luminous
Verb | wait, watch, growl, hide
Origin | Champaign, IL. Luma came with Johnny Cash from CatSNAP. Her foster mom was so very worried about her when they realized she had urine scald from incontinence and required special care.
Initially, Luma was carefree and playful - full of life. Along the way, she became vulnerable and now exhibits 'prey-like' behavior when around the big boys (who likely traumatized her). She and Sammie stay in a separate room together where they both feel safe.
Luma really needs to be in a home with no or few cats where she can feel safer. Can you care for her in your home? If not, will you contribute to her lifetime care at CCAS?

Will you donate to his lifetime care?

CyndiLauper rocks!

Verb | talk, run, prance, scream, coo, snort, snore, wheeze
Origin | Middletown, NY. Miss Cyndi Lauper was rescued from a hoarding situation at about 4 years old. We are not sure if she is so vocal because nobody listened and talked to her in the crowded house, or if she has always been a chatterbox. She is hysterically funny and has a bigger vocabulary than some two-year-olds. She is here forever - please donate to her lifetime care.
