My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This adorable princess is ready to find her forever castle. Lyra the Queen, is a lovely calico with thumbs to better rule her kingdom with. Lyra might be reserved and elegant but once she knows you're her new royal subjects she cuddles up real fast. This beautiful young cat is sure to light up your life with her darling personality. Interested in everyone she meets, Lyra takes great comfort in affection from the moment she sets eyes on you. She loves making biscuits on her softest blankets (check out her thumbs she's a polydactyl!) and she's just looking for a cozy home to curl up in. Lyra is very sweet, very gentle, and adorably cuddlable. Lyra is an indoor only cat. Meet this lovely girl any day of the week!


* Due to age or sterilization status, this animal is available to go home with you as part of our Foster To Adopt Program. This means that you can take the animal home as a Foster Parent with the intent to adopt when the animal becomes old enough or receives its spay/neuter surgery. At that time, you can finalize the adoption and the animal officially becomes yours!

More about this shelter

“The Siskiyou Humane Society exists to improve the lives of companion animals by sheltering, rehabilitating, reducing pet overpopulation and finding permanent homes. We promote responsible pet ownership, kindness to animals and enhancement of human-animal relationships through education and outreach.”

Since its founding in 1968, the Siskiyou Humane Society Adoption Center in Mt. Shasta has provided rescue and refuge for hundreds of homeless cats and dogs every year. The shelter’s staff and volunteers take special pride in getting to know the animals as individuals. Because they are familiar with the personalities of the shelter cats and dogs, they can help potential adopters find the best matches for their families and lifestyles. From kittens and puppies to previously trained adults, all pets adopted from SHS are spayed and neutered, given permanent micro-chip identification, and adult dogs are assessed for behavior using a nationally known behavior evaluation.

Siskiyou Humane Society is a “no-kill” facility, animals aren’t euthanized because they’ve been in the shelter for too long, or to make room for more animals, but are cared for until they find new homes. Preventing pet over-population is a big part of the Society’s mission statement. The shelter provides information and referrals for low-income Spay/Neuter assistance programs in Siskiyou County. SHS also offers humane education presentations for schools, youth groups and service organizations with topics like dog-bite prevention and kindness to animals. To help owned pets stay in their homes, the shelter’s Behavior Team provides free consulting for common behavior problems, so that pet owners and pet can live together in peace.

As a private, 501(c)(3)non-profit animal welfare organization, the shelter receives no funding from government agencies or national humane organizations. Most of the funding comes from private donations and the sales at the Society’s two thrift stores.
