About Lyla

They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Little Lyla was discovered caring for her four kittens under some bushes in a quiet neighborhood. This gentle, quiet soul thrives with calm and loving energy around her. Lyla absolutely adores cuddling with her last remaining kitten, Triscuit—who is now fully grown and looks just like her! If you're looking for a lovely pair of matching feline 'bookends', these two will warm your heart. However, they are both available separately, so you can bring home just Lyla, or both if you prefer. Lyla is ready to flourish in a home of her own, with or without her beloved Triscuit. If you're in Lower Fairfield County, it's even easier to arrange a meet-and-greet due to local volunteer support. Ready to see Lyla (and possibly Triscuit) in person and experience their charm firsthand? Click apply to start the adoption process.
