My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Updated bio: Hi there! I’m Yara, a shy but stunning black panther (okay, domestic cat—but don’t tell me that!). I’ve been in foster care since the summer of 2024. While I can be a little sassy with humans, I absolutely love other friendly cats—they make me feel safe and confident. I’ll run and play as long as the human stays in one spot.
My foster mom has been so patient with me. She understands that I need quiet spaces and cozy hiding spots. She always tells me how beautiful I am and how much she’d love to cuddle me—but I’m still learning to trust, so I politely (and dramatically) decline.
This summer, I had to visit that scary place they call “the vet.” The doctor checked my teeth, my ears, my shiny fur coat, and listened to my heart. That’s when my foster mom’s smile faded—the doctor heard a heart murmur. More tests revealed I have a rare congenital condition called Cor Triatriatum Sinister. I don’t understand what that means, but I could tell it was serious from my foster mom’s face.
Now I take daily medications and need to live a low-stress lifestyle to keep my special heart happy. I feel fine and have no idea anything is wrong—but my doctors say I’ll need lifelong care. That means I get to stay with my amazing foster mom forever, where I’m safe, loved, and spoiled (as I deserve).
Even though I’m not looking for a new home, the kind humans who help pay for my care still need help with my medications and yummy food (that’s where my pills are hidden!). Could you spare a few dollars to help cover my grocery bill?
Your support helps special cats like me live out our lives in comfort—with soft beds, full tummies, and plenty of toys to bat around. Thank you for helping me and my friends have the safe, happy retirement we deserve. ??
Yara is going to remain in foster care with SCAT as a hospice cat due to her severe heart condition.

More about this rescue
Since 1996 SCAT Street Cat Rescue's prime focus has been feral cats because of the limited options available for them. TNR is a successful option instead of the traditional trap and kill. The majority of the cats rescued by SCAT, however, are socialized and available for adoption. As the city grows, so to does the need for our services. Adopt, Donate, Volunteer, TODAY!
