Lara is a lovely young Tortoise Shell kitten with a jigsaw of orange, brown and black spots on her shiny white coat. She looks at you with clear alert eyes, and has the cutest little face. She’s playful and curious, affectionate and good natured. Watching Lara – named after the video game adventurer, Lara Croft – can fill you with joy. She rolls. She jumps. She stalks her imaginary enemies. And, she keeps herself clean as a whistle.

Lara was born into a litter of 4 females the night her mother, Joy, a very pregnant stray, was brought to Sierra Cares. Joy was a nurturing mother who played rough and tumble games with her brood and taught them all the skills that kittens need—like how to climb to the very top of the cat tree without a hair out of place.  Lara is a bit cautious with strangers, but she likes to be held once she gets to know you. All she needs is a loving home where she can grow up feeling confident and secure.
