My name is Roya!

Oh joy-a, it's Roya! This one-eyed beauty came to LAWS in rough shape- underweight, with a severe upper respiratory infection, and an ulcerated eye that was past saving. She has blossomed from a shy, anxious, and sick kitten in her time with us into a confident, curious, and playful young lady. Roya is the pinnacle of mischief and loves to investigate & interact with her surroundings in a very hands-on way. She LOVES to play and has grown up enjoying a variety of toys that sate her appetite for throwing, chasing, bouncing, and wrestling. Having grown up with other foster kittens, alongside two small, calm dogs, and older cats, Roya is a very social gal, and generally the life of the party. While not necessarily laid back, our lovely lady never takes anything too seriously. Anything can be made into a game as far as she is concerned, and while she can sometimes play too rough with her foster siblings, there is no mean bone in her body. Roya enjoys the company of her humans. She is the first to greet us at the door by sweetly winding herself around our legs with an arched back and upright tail. While Roya loves to be close to her people, she is far from a lap cat. She prefers her own seat on the couch, her designated spot on the bed, or supervising household activities while perched on the cat tree. She easily melts into a puddle of purrs, looking like she is smiling as she presses the top of her head into her person's hand for cheek scratches and back rubs. We are continuing to practice trusting people to pick her up and hold her, as well as being in a carrier and going on car rides. No doubt that she will overcome her concerns with patience and consistency. When it comes to meeting new people, Roya's motto is hide first and gradually inch her way into activity. She was raised in a foster home that has little room for entertaining, so she is very much family over stranger oriented.  Roya is a very special cat. She has overcome such great odds in her short life with humor and grace. If you are looking for a loving cat to entertain you with her playful antics, excited zoomies, and undying affection, Roya is the girl for you!

 At Laramie Animal Welfare Society, the first step to adoption is completing an adoption application on our website www.laramieanimals.org. Once submitted, your application will be reviewed by our adoption team which typically takes 7+ days.  Keep in mind, the animal you’re interested in when applying may be adopted and no longer available by the time your application is approved. We do not place animals on hold.   Pending approval, your application is valid for 6 months. Also pending approval, you will receive contact information, so that you may inquire about the personalities of specific animals. Adoptions for individual animals will occur by private adoption appointment. Because we are 100% foster-based, appointments are scheduled pending staff, foster home, and vetting schedules.  Should you want to proceed with the adoption, a brief appointment will occur at our adoption center to sign adoption paperwork, receive medical records, and pay the adoption fee.   

**Dog/Puppy applications -  Because of the large volume of dog/puppy applications we are receiving these applications may take longer to process, please be patient. We do not do first come first serve but we place the dog/puppy in the best suited home. If you have questions about the Dog/Puppy process please email lawsdogprogram@gmail.com**
