Twyla's Story

Twyla was a pregnant street cat brought into NMAF's cat program in June 2025. She was named for the dancer Twyla Tharp because she is dark-haired and graceful. She gave birth to 5 kittens on June 28, 2025. She has been a good mother but will be getting spayed before going to a new home. She is very affectionate and loves to be petted. She is a very vocal tortoiseshell. *Female *Tortoiseshell, Domestic Shorthair *Born 12/2023 *Adoption Fee: $75 Contact: Jeri at cats@nmaf.org or (505)350-7463.
