Mayra's journey began at Devore Animal Shelter in mid-June 2024, where she found herself at risk simply for having a cold. At around one year old at the time, this young tortoiseshell girl had already known instability, and her full, round figure initially led to speculation that she might be pregnant--though it turned out she's simply a naturally full-figured beauty. Rescued just in time, Mayra recovered in a temporary California foster home before making the big trip north. By the end of June 2024, she arrived safely in Washington, where she has been thriving ever since with her long-term foster mom.
Gentle, confident, and quietly charismatic, Mayra is as lovely on the inside as she is on the outside. True to her tortie nature, she isn't shy about asking for affection and happily makes herself known when it's time for attention. In her foster home, she's become an ambassador of goodwill--welcoming new foster cats with calm kindness and helping them feel at ease. Once everyone is settled, Mayra is ready for whatever the moment brings, whether that's cozy snuggles, playful antics, or simply being near her people. She's social, adaptable, and would do beautifully in a family setting or a multi-cat household.
Now healthy, happy, and holding no grudges about her past, Mayra is more than ready to leave shelter life behind for good. She's looking for a forever home where her warmth, companionship, and gentle spirit will be cherished. If you'd like to meet this exceptional girl and see if she's the perfect match for your home, please apply to adopt through Kitty Devore Rescue at www.kittydevorerescue.org. Magical Mayra is ready to meet her person--could it be you?
Please note: Mayra is one of our Seattle, WA, foster kitties and is only available for adoption to applicants in Seattle and the surrounding areas.

Kitty Devore Rescue is a close-knit, all-volunteer nonprofit founded in 2011 with one heartfelt mission: to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome cats and kittens from Devore Animal Shelter in San Bernardino, CA, and surrounding areas. When we began, only a handful of cats ever made it out of the shelter alive. Today, because of our relentless dedication and the shared efforts of fellow rescue partners, that save rate has soared to nearly 90%.
We’re not a shelter—we’re a foster-based family. Each cat we save lives in the loving care of one of our foster guardians, spread across Southern California and beyond, until they’re ready to meet their forever person. Our volunteers balance careers, families, school, and life’s many demands, yet still pour their hearts into rescue work every single day. For many of us, this isn’t just something we do—it’s who we are.
Every adoption is a promise fulfilled. Every donation fuels another chance. And every cat we place in a warm, devoted home is a story of hope come true—for them and for the people who welcome them.
At Kitty Devore Rescue, we believe every life matters, and every cat deserves to be safe, cherished, and loved for a lifetime.
