My story

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

Tila is a gentle sweetheart whose confidence has been blooming more and more each day!

She started out a bit shy and unsure, but with time, patience, and love, Tila has shown what a special and affectionate girl she truly is once she feels safe. She has been getting along well with other cats and has even found comfort snuggling up with a beagle puppy! She’s quite the conversationalist and will happily let you know when she’s hungry or when she’s in the mood for attention.

Tila enjoys playing on her own with her toys, but her favorite nighttime tradition is a fun game of “fetch” with a little ball. And fair warning—once she bonds with you, she may treat you to her signature “concerts,” complete with adorable chatter. Soft music and a little tuna with warm water are her idea of the perfect encore. Tila will thrive in a home that gives her a few days to decompress and adjust at her own pace. Set her up with a cozy space, give her gentle encouragement, and she’ll reward you with sweetness, entertainment, and lots of love.

If you are interested in adopting Tila, please email juanitadiaz999@gmail.com to arrange an initial meet and greet with the pet’s foster parent or a staff member. They will reply to you within 24-48 hours.
