Lara's Story
Lara entered the shelter on 3/29/25. She is 4 years old as of 2/26/26 (EDOB: 9/20/21). Lara is a gentle, sensitive cat whose story reflects just how deeply stress can affect some animals. When she first arrived, she was extremely shut down and fearful, struggling to adapt to the shelter environment. The stress began to take a physical toll, but with time and placement in a calm, loving foster home, Lara slowly began to rediscover her confidence and trust.<br/><br/>As she grew more comfortable, Lara's true personality emerged. She is now a sweet, affectionate, and playful companion who forms strong bonds once she feels safe. Lara has previously had dental work, including tooth removal, and she does wonderfully. She also has a slightly wobbly walk due to an old leg bone fracture that has fully healed. This does not stop her from getting around, enjoying life, or being a happy, loving cat.<br/><br/>Lara will thrive in a patient, understanding home where she can continue to feel secure and loved.<br/><br/>If you are interested in this animal, fill out the adoption application: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd1GJ6i46h9t5evNAa0snklvPoB-TTjwuRL12qHJB82dncwlw/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=106509763528062454972<br/><br/>All shelter animals may not be spayed or neutered yet.
