My story

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

Nova and Lyra are domestic shorthair female kittens who are 4 months old. Nova is black and white, and Lyra is a grey tabby with white.

Meet Nova and Lyra! These bonded sisters have been together since birth and share a very close connection. They are playful, affectionate, and people-oriented kittens who enjoy being part of everyday life in the home.

The girls had a difficult start. They were born via emergency c-section after a challenging delivery by their mama, Sadie. Sadly, Sadie’s milk never came in, and the kittens were placed with a surrogate mama named Luna, who had just weaned her own litter. Nova and Lyra also needed to be bottle fed and given supportive care by their foster, and their growth was slow at first. With time and consistent care, they are now healthy and doing well. As with any newly adopted kitten, adopters should be mindful of their early start and monitor their health as they continue to grow.

Nova and Lyra have been raised in a foster home since they were just three days old and are extremely social. They love sleeping close to their foster mom, often curled around her neck, at the foot of the bed, or nearby on the dresser. They come when called, enjoy lickable treat tubes, and like carrying pom pom balls around in their mouths.

They have lived with six resident house cats and are comfortable in a multi-cat environment. They are also very curious about the household guinea pigs. Both girls climb to the top of the cat tree with ease and enjoy watching the snow fall from the window. They would do well in a home with respectful children who understand kitten boundaries.

Nova and Lyra are affectionate, fun, and full of personality. They must be adopted together and would do best in a home ready to welcome a bonded pair.

Both Nova and Lyra are spayed, microchipped, FIV and FeLV negative, and up to date on parasite prevention. Nova and Lyra are fully vaccinated with RCCP and rabies and will need one additional RCCP vaccine to complete their kitten series. Any remaining age-appropriate veterinary care will be the responsibility of the adopter. Their adoption fee as a pair is $550.

To apply to adopt Nova and Lyra, please submit an adoption application found on the banner of our website.

Additional adoption info

Most of our cats live in foster homes. Some are available to meet at satellite locations such as Pet Valu and Ren's Depot. A few foster homes are available to meet and greets at their home, or we also do meet and greets at request at our shelter prior to adoption. Most of these results in same day adoptions, and only take place after an adoption interview.
