Mayra’s journey began at Devore Animal Shelter in mid-June 2024, where she found herself at risk simply for having a cold. At around one year old at the time, this young tortoiseshell girl had already known instability, and her full, round figure initially led to speculation that she might be pregnant—though it turned out she’s simply a naturally full-figured beauty. Rescued just in time, Mayra recovered in a temporary California foster home before making the big trip north. By the end of June 2024, she arrived safely in Washington, where she has been thriving ever since with her long-term foster mom.
Gentle, confident, and quietly charismatic, Mayra is as lovely on the inside as she is on the outside. True to her tortie nature, she isn’t shy about asking for affection and happily makes herself known when it’s time for attention. In her foster home, she’s become an ambassador of goodwill—welcoming new foster cats with calm kindness and helping them feel at ease. Once everyone is settled, Mayra is ready for whatever the moment brings, whether that’s cozy snuggles, playful antics, or simply being near her people. She’s social, adaptable, and would do beautifully in a family setting or a multi-cat household.
Now healthy, happy, and holding no grudges about her past, Mayra is more than ready to leave shelter life behind for good. She’s looking for a forever home where her warmth, companionship, and gentle spirit will be cherished.
