Lyla

My story

Lyla is a beautiful mature Tortoiseshell Maine Coon mix female born approximately 8/26/2015. She has the most gorgeous eyes! Lyla was originally rescued by NBCR after being born to a pregnant stray that was turned into a local animal shelter. The mom was about to be euthanized, but thankfully we were able to pull her and the babies and find them loving homes. Sadly, Lyla's family is now moving to the Middle East and are not able to take her with them. She was recently returned to us in the hope that we can find her another loving home in which to live out the rest of her golden years. Meet Lyla – A True Dark Beauty Hi, I'm Lyla! My name means "dark beauty," and I think it suits me perfectly—with my luxurious, long fur and gentle spirit. I’m a quiet, well-mannered lady who enjoys the finer things in life—like a good brushing to keep my fluffy coat in top form and a sunny window or back porch for my daily sunbathing sessions.  During the day, I’m happy to lounge on my cat tree (which I love!) or engage in a little play session (I'm pretty playful for my age!) I am a pretty independent kitty and can keep myself entertained. When night falls, I may quietly slip into bed for a quick snuggle and some gentle scritches. I absolutely adore head rubs and will politely request them from just about anyone—even new people! I’ve lived with other cats and done well, though I’m still undecided about dogs. I’d likely be happiest in a calm home with older children who respect my space and affection on my terms. Fluffy like cotton and sweet as can be, I’m a loving companion with a heart full of warmth and a purr ready for the right person. If you're looking for a peaceful, affectionate feline friend, I just might be your girl. Lyla is microchipped and currently in a foster home. Her adoption fee is $105.July 3, 2025, 12:15 pm
