Lyla

Lyla had a very sad start in life as her sisters and her were severely overdosed in medications as young kittens which has led to her eyes looking so sad. In the past 2 years, she has been seen regularly by an eye specialist and also had an intervention in 2025. We are currently working on trying to improve the cloudy appearance of her eyes with compounded eye drops. Whilst she may not look like it, Lyla actually has good vision. Lyla also has landed herself the nickname ‘snotty’ as she can get a bit congested. It is managed with a nose spray.

This poor cat has been through an awful lot, yet she is the sweetest, most gentle cat anyone will ever meet. She loves laptime, loves to sleep really close (preferably on!) to her foster carer and is incredible placid. She is very friendly with other cats as well as dogs and is great with visitors. Her perfect family will be one that is willing to look beyond the obvious and love her for her amazingly wonderful personality, even with the odd snotty sneeze. We are committed to continue to support her in her eye care but at this stage, other than the compounded eye drops, there is nothing more that can be done.

How to Meet Lyla:
