Meet LYRA - Offered by Owner

Lyra (Lie-Ruh) was born December 9, 2022. We got her when she was 5 months old from a farm where she was indoor-outdoor. She's only indoor now, and we'd prefer she stay that way. She's fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped. She's the softest cat I've ever had, with short, fluffy fur (We feed her tiki cat indoor formula, probably partly why!).   She's rather shy of strangers, and hides whenever new people come in, but is fully attached to her people. She loves afternoon naps, laying on our chest. She loves to play, especially wrestle with stuffed animals, chew on cardboard (she needs things available to chew) or chase strings. She does play bite a bit when she plays, and can get over stimulated with too much petting - but her bites never draw blood. She loves scratches on her head and neck. We've gotten to know her body language when enough is enough.   She weaves in and out of our legs. She's unable to jump on counters for some reason - she can't jump high - so that could be a big bonus for you! We had a cat when we brought her in, and unfortunately our current cat never accepted her. Lyra would love to have a friend I believe, she did have friends on her farm when she was a kitten as well as a dog - but I don't know how well she'd adapt to another cat being a little over a year old now but with proper introduction this should work.   She was recently diagnosed with asthma, and we've been giving her oral steroids every 24-28 hours for the last couple months. We've been using wood pellet litter as clay is bad for kitty lungs. Ideally she'd get on an inhaler 2x a day as that has fewer long term side effects for kitties versus the oral steroids. With the proper care she can live a long, healthy and happy life!   For more information on meeting and adopting this kitty, please fill out a pre-adoption application under "ADOPT" on our website at WWW.CATSCRADLERESCUE.COM. Your information will be forwarded to the foster parent for follow-ups and meeting arrangement. Cat's Cradle is an all-volunteer, non-profit foster-home based rescue serving Oregon cats who need new homes. 100% of your adoption fee goes to provide for the medical and physical needs of the cats in our care. We invite you to become a foster parent and experience the great satisfaction of helping a cat or kitten in need.

Adoption Process
Adoptable cats and kittens are shown on our website with detailed profiles and pictures. To help our potential adopters learn more about the cat(s), we encourage them to first contact and discuss with the foster family if it might be a good fit. Potential adopters must submit an adoption application for review and evaluation. We also have onsite Adoption Events on a weekly basis. Our adoption counselors are present to handle the interview and adoption process. Our adoption fee for single kitten is $120 and $200 for a pair. Adult cat adoption fee is $60. We require that adopted cats be mainly indoor cats and no declawing is allowed. Adopters must be over 21 years old and sign a contract that lists out his/her responsibility as the cat's owner.
