My name is
Lyra!

World, meet Lyra!

Lyra is a beautiful petite floofy girl, but don't let her appearance fool you - she is feisty! Lyra has slowly come out of her shell with her foster mom, but she is fearful at first and will need a patient adopter and a small room to start in. She enjoys head and chin scritches as well as pats along her back and belly, which she exposes often when she is comfortable. She enjoys brushing in short grooming sessions and Churu as a reward, and will tolerate nail trims. She requires regular brushing to avoid mats, but you must work slowly with her. She will pin back her ears and swat when she loses patience or becomes overstimulated. For these reasons she would do best in a home without small children, as she needs her people to understand her cues.

Lyra loves ALL other cats (including her foster parent's 14 year old resident cat who does not like visitors), and she will chirp and roll around when she sees one of the residents of her foster home. She would do well with a confident, friendly cat to teach her that coexisting with humans is fun. She does enjoy wand toys but also appreciates a nice covered bed to retreat into when she has had enough stimulation. She is nervous when exposed to new situations, but time and patience in foster care have turned her into a more confident kitty.

Lyra is just over a year old. She has been spayed, dewormed, flea treated, microchipped, vaccinated, and has tested FIV/FeLV-. Do you have the time, patience, and love needed to set this beautiful girl up for success? Please apply today!
