About Arya

Click apply to start the adoption process. Arya is a truly special little girl who is looking for the most loving humans she can find! Born with paraplegia, believed to be the result of a medical issue at birth, Arya has always been a fighter. She first won hearts as a tiny kitten when, against all odds, she sought help from strangers in a restaurant parking lot, proving her incredible will to live. This energetic and playful calico is searching for an interactive home with people who enjoy constant play and lively conversation, as she’s very outgoing, vocal, and absolutely adores attention. After having her back leg removed at the beginning of 2025, Arya hasn’t lost her zest for life—instead, she continues to embrace each day with enthusiasm. Arya’s unique needs mean she is incontinent, so her ideal adopter will be someone committed to daily care, including regular baths (even if Arya protests), and keeping her clean with fresh puppy pads and bedding. She is also on a special diet to support her health. In return, Arya will bring endless joy and smiles, making every day brighter with her delightful antics and chatter. Fun fact: Arya was born on July 2, making her a Cancer—these cats are known for their deep loyalty and affectionate nature! Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
