Lyra (Purring Machine)

My story

Meet Lyra — our stunning little “tabbico” (calico + tabby mix) with glowing amber eyes and fur as soft as a cloud. Lyra was discovered alone at one of our TNR colony locations, and we’ll never know how such a tiny, beautiful kitten ended up there. Clever and resourceful, she outsmarted several trapping attempts before we finally brought her to safety. But the moment she was in our arms, it was clear she wasn’t meant for street life; Lyra immediately began to purr and melt into affection. At first, Lyra can be shy (her survival instincts kept her alive) but once she feels safe, she transforms into a gentle, purring bundle of love. Pick her up and she’ll start her little motor instantly, kneading biscuits with pure happiness. She adores soft blankets, cozy nap spots, and is mesmerized by every kind of toy. She eagerly follows the other kittens, learning how to play, and comes hopping with excitement at mealtime (especially for wet food and treats!). Lyra is deeply grateful to have been rescued and shows it every day with her affection, her purrs, and her sweet, gentle ways. She’s ready to leave her survival days behind and start a new life full of love, comfort, and companionship. Whoever adopts Lyra will be gaining not just a kitten, but a loyal little soul who will treasure her forever home. Because Lyra is a kitten, she must be adopted with one of her foster friends or into a home with another young cat. Here is some information about why we have this policy: Two kittens are better than one For a pair of kittens we offer a $25 discount for each, from their adoption fee Lyra is estimated to be ~2.5 mo old as of Aug 2025, fully vetted: spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, defleaed, and microchipped. She tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Check out more photos and videos of Lyra here: Lyra Photos To meet Lyra, fill out an application here: Apply to adopt Questions? info@littlelivesatl.org
