Meet Lira!  Lira is a curious, slightly shy, but oh-so-sweet kitty who’s sure to steal your heart. She loves to follow her human around the foster room, brushing up against their legs for attention and enjoying all the pets she can get. While she’s gentle and calm, Lira has a playful side too! She delights in chasing string toys, batting around her ball track, and wrestling with her brother. Her adorable squeaky meow adds to her charm, as does her love of sunny spots for cozy naps. Treats like Churu and wet food are her favorites, and her soft fur makes petting her even more of a joy. Lira’s signature move? A heart-melting flop to the ground when she’s being petted. This affectionate girl would love to have a feline friend in her forever home. Could that home be yours? Lira is from a stray surrender with her brother. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.   Want to adopt a kitten? We highly recommend you consider bringing home two instead of one! Adopting kittens in pairs has been proven to be beneficial for cats’ emotional and behavioral well-being and greatly improves the likelihood of long-term adopter happiness as a result. Adopting more than one kitten also reduces the risk of “Single Kitten Syndrome” (also known as Tarzan Syndrome), a symptom of under-socialization during a kitten’s most formative weeks. Kittens who are under-socialized may develop aggressive tendencies toward both other animals and humans as they grow, creating lifelong behavioral issues for owners.
