Affectionate, feminine, and capable - small tabby tuxedo cat - seeks affectionate, capable humans. I could be Princess Leia - but I do not care to wear my fur in big knots behind my ears. I could be Layla - but these other cats don't appreciate my interpretation of Eric Clapton - so I decided to be Layah - sweet woman, former mom, capable self-managing cat. I was all alone in Minnesota, outside in November, with my kittens. I took care of them all, cold as it was, and we made our way to good people who took us in. My kittens grew up and found their homes. I'm ready for mine; I hope it's warm. I don't ever want to be cold again!

You are warm. Hold me, oh, yes, hold me, and I feel how warm you are. I like human warm. I snuggle my head to your shoulder to let you know how affectionate and appreciative I am. I am young but mellow - don't need a bunch of excitement - although, now that I can see out the window, my curiosity perks up. And who's this guy cat pacing up and down the window sill? Surely he doesn't want to go out there! Snow! Cold! Bad! I think I'll just cuddle this human. He should, too.

My foster mom reports that I like to play ping pong. Bat me the ball, I'll bat it back - again and again and again. Oooee! Loose shoe laces, catnip mice - anything a small lady can tussle around. I am entertainment. No, I didn't eat the M&Ms. That's not chocolate on my dear little mouth; that's my special tabbiness on my sweet white face. I don't like chocolate - but it's fine with me if you do. Let's go home and cuddle warm. How about you be my mom now? My children were hard work - worth it, but hard work. Now it's Layah's turn. Just $100, and we're forever together. Warm!

PS: I currently reside at THE SHELTER (not in foster care). If you can't stop in but would like to know more about me, please call 651-642-5900, ext.3. Thanks!
