Lulu is a standard grey female chinchilla. We don't know her exact age, other than to say that she's an adult female.
Lulu came to the rescue about a month ago. She was brought here by the manager of an apartment complex. How she came to her... well...
There was an apartment in the complex where the owners were several months late on rent and were set to be evicted. When the manager got the keys and was all set to go into the apartment and basically kick the people out... she opened the door to an empty apartment... except for a box in the middle of the floor. In the box, was Lulu (as the manager named her). No note, no food, no nothing, just a box with a chinchilla in it, on the floor. How people can be like that, I will never understand.
Thankfully, the manager had a soul, and contacted us and brought Lulu here. Lulu has now been here over a month and has maintained her weight and been doing well, so she's now available for adoption... to someone with a cage, appropriate chin-supplies, and all the love they can give.
As far as Lulu's personality... she's not quite the cuddly type. She's more of an active chinchilla, and her goal just isn't to be your cuddlebuddy. She would probably really enjoy playtime, though not necessarily with kids. She gets irritated if you poke her through the cage or even poke her sides while she's in the cage (we scoop up from the bottom), which may suggest that she was in a family with kids that pestered her. If you poke her enough, and she gets irritated, she will turn and nip. As a result, she's not suited to go to a family with little kids. Lulu definitely can be handled and petted, but she is more on the active (read: squirmy) side and doesn't want to sit still for long. ADHD chin, imagine that!
Lulu is available for adoption to an approved home (adoption form required) for $75.
