My story

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

Lila is a stunning 2-ish year old tortie with a quiet strength and a heart full of love, just waiting for the right person to share it with. Her journey hasn’t been easy — abandoned by her former family, who threatened to surrender her to a city shelter where she risked being euthanized, Lila was rescued just in time.

Naturally, this betrayal left Lila withdrawn and heartbroken. For weeks, she kept her distance, unsure if she could trust again. But with time and patience, she began to open up to her foster mom, showing a softer, more affectionate side.

Unfortunately, Lila isn’t thriving in her current foster home. She doesn’t get along with the alpha cat in the household and clearly longs for a calm, secure environment where she doesn’t have to compete or feel threatened. Lila would do best in a quiet home with no children or other pets — or possibly with one submissive cat who respects her space.

Lila is truly a beautiful cat, inside and out. She has so much love to give, but she needs a forever home where she can feel safe, cherished, and finally at peace. We’re desperate to get her into the right environment — could that be with you?

Additional adoption info

All of our cats are in foster homes. For this reason, we screen applicants before arranging in-home meet and greets. The process begins with an application followed by a 15 minute phone interview. If approved, you can meet one of our cats in their foster home. Once you've selected a cat, you can take the cat home for a 10-night sleepover or trial period. If the trial period goes well, you can adopt the cat. If it's not the right fit, then we take the cat back, no questions asked.
