Say hello to Yzma! At 9 years old, this beautiful black and orange lady has a wise soul and a quiet presence. She’s past the busy kitten years and prefers a calm, predictable adults only home where she can truly relax and feel secure. Yzma will need a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time. In a new environment, she’ll appreciate a slow introduction—cozy hiding spots, soft voices, and the freedom to explore at her own pace. Once she feels safe, her gentle and deeply rewarding companionship begins to shine. Yzma was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism while in our care. This is a common and manageable condition in senior cats but requires lifelong medication and monitoring. If you have a quiet home and are committed to her ongoing care, Yzma is ready to begin her next chapter—slowly, safely, and by your side. This pet is eligible for an Adoption Audition! What is an Adoption Audition? It’s a 14-day, no-strings-attached, trial adoption period. You can take this pet home to try it out! Interested?
