Iyla's Story

Please contact Jessie Cheng (jessie.cheng@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Beautiful kitty ready to steal your heart!IYLA NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Come meet Iyla and other great adoptable cats this Sunday (10/19) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Falls Church, VA (6100A Arlington Blvd, Falls Church, VA 22044)! Name: Iyla Best Guess for Breed: Domestic Medium Hair Best Guess for Age: 1 year Estimated DOB: 8/27/24 Sex: Female Approximate Weight: 7.5lbs Coloring: Brown Tabby Type of Hair: Medium Gets Along With: With proper integration, Iyla will likely get along with other cats, dogs & kids! We're happy to help with tips & tricks. Currently Living at: Foster home in the DC area! I am Looking For: My loving forever family! Hi! I'm Iyla, and I am a sweet kitty! I won't ask for much- just some love, cuddles and lots of toys so I can run and play and be myself. What My Foster Says About Me: Iyla grows more confidence with her foster Mom every day. Right now, she only likes scratches when foster Mom has food but she grows more comfortable with humans every day. She just needs an adopter who will push her a little bit but understands that her warming up to you will come on her own time! Iyla has done well with the many cats she's met in foster care. If you are looking for a friendly companion to your current cat, she would be a great addition. 7/20: It took her a while to become fully comfortable in her foster home but she now loves getting pets and scratches from her foster Mom and even approaches her for more! She just needs time to settle in. She likes to play occasionally but spends most of her time napping and watching the birds at the bird feeder. She is a gorgeous medium hair length girl with a super fluffy tail. Her foster mom is so pleased with the progress she's made. She really loves her foster brother Ulrich and would benefit from living with another or multiple other friendly cats! What the Shelter Says About Me: This sweet beautiful girl has been through so much! Iyla's foster mom saw her in Animal Control and immediately fell in love with her and saw her beautiful potential. She was very sick and unkempt. Ilya's foster mom later found out the reason why... Iyla had suffered from a separated lower jaw (at the chin). She is now all healed and happy. Her beautiful coat is improving every day. When Iyla came home with her foster, Iyla did not trust humans and so she was spoiled with soft food. By coincidence, that was exactly what she needed to heal because her previous jaw injury was not evident even on close examination and attentive foster care. Iyla has learned to trust and loves humans now! She does not show trust immediately, but once she has time she warms up, Iyla becomes so sweet and playful. Iyla LOVES ping pong balls, and her second favorite toy is any other kind of ball. She loves to play with the foster family's resident cats and loves her (cat appropriate) foster-dog-sister. Iyla has not been around small children but foster mom thinks if they had a toy (and approached slowly and respectfully) Iyla would quickly become their friend!

The adoption fee for a kitten (under 7 months old) is $220 ($380 for two kittens adopted together).If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at bit.ly/adoptaluckycat.
