About Lyla

Lyla was rescued while caring for her four kittens beneath some bushes in a local neighborhood. She is quiet and gentle, thriving most with calm, patient people. Lyla especially loves snuggling with Triscuit, one of her adult kittens who shares her appearance and sweet temperament. If you have room for two look-alikes, you might consider welcoming both, though they are not required to be adopted together. Lyla will really flourish in a peaceful home, whether on her own or with her beloved Triscuit. If you are nearby, come meet Lyla (and Triscuit) and see their gentle bond firsthand. Preference is given to homes in Lower Fairfield County due to volunteer limitations. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
