About Marie & Momma Lyra
Marie & Momma Lyra are a shy but sweet pair looking for a quiet, patient home that truly understands how much time it takes for timid cats to settle in. When a cat hides or freezes at a new face, it’s not just nerves—it’s a sign that trust needs to build slowly and gently. Anyone considering adoption should expect several meet-and-greet sessions and shouldn’t push their boundaries. Working with the Behavior Team helps unlock glimpses of their wonderful personalities. This group of reserved cats needs extra support to adjust socially and emotionally. Momma Lyra is especially nervous and does best with a cat-savvy adopter, ideally placed with one of her kittens or in a home with a friendly resident cat. Pair adoptions are preferred, unless there’s already a gentle companion waiting. Every detail of their transition matters, from respectful handling to using interactive toys like a peacock feather. The rescue’s volunteer network offers guidance from start to finish and insists on a stable, peaceful environment to help them thrive. Adoption is never same-day—multiple visits are required. Anchorage-based adopters must meet all policies, including indoors-only living, no declawing, and landlord consent if renting. Every household member should meet the cats prior to adoption. Support continues after placement to make sure both you and the cats are comfortable. If you’re ready for a thoughtful process and a relationship built on patience and trust, these introverted felines might just reward your effort. Give them the home they have been waiting for.
