About Kayla
Snuggles on her own terms
Kayla is a female Chocolate Point Siamese Cross available for adoption in Glenside (Adelaide, South Australia).
Kayla is a quiet, beautiful cat with a gentle, independent streak and a real gift for the long afternoon nap.
She chooses her moments. When she decides it's time, she'll wander over and settle in beside you on the couch, and at night she'll curl up on the bed.
For someone who loves a calm home and enjoys being chosen, she's a lovely match.
A little about Kayla:
🐾 Sleeps with her face tucked into her paws, and it's every bit as sweet as it sounds
🐾 A dedicated bird watcher, from the window or a sunny outdoor table
🐾 Can't resist a crinkly toy
🐾 Loves her supervised garden time: sniffing the grass and rolling on warm concrete
🐾 A naturally quiet cat who suits a peaceful home
Kayla's mornings start with breakfast, then a little supervised time outside. She sniffs the grass, has a roll on the warm concrete, then settles on the outdoor table to watch the birds.
After that she heads back inside for the serious business of the day: a long nap, often by a window.
Afternoons and evenings are couch time, sometimes curled up with her people, sometimes on her own, depending on her mood.
Kayla shows her love by choosing you. Let her come to you rather than scooping her up, and she'll reward you with some beautiful snuggles.
Once she's decided you're her person, you'll find a warm little companion who wants to be close.
With new people, she takes a quiet, observant approach. She won't rush over, but she doesn't hide either, and she warms up in her own time.
While her family was travelling, she became firm friends with her pet sitter, snuggling up on the couch together.
Kayla would love to be the only pet. As the only cat in the home, she can finally relax and let her softer side lead.
An adult home where someone is around more often than not suits her beautifully, and an apartment is fine.
She'll suit someone who appreciates a cat who sets her own pace, reads her body language fluently, and lets her decide when a pat session is done.
She adores safe, supervised outdoor time, so a secure balcony, courtyard or cat enclosure would be a lovely bonus.
Picture a slow weekend morning: Kayla stretched out in a patch of sun, eyes half-closed, tail twitching at the birds outside.
Later, you're on the couch with a book, and she quietly climbs up and settles in beside you, face in paws.
Kayla is a quiet companion for a quiet home, and the person she chooses will know exactly how special that is.

Medical notes
Kayla is in good general health. She takes a low-dose daily medication called clomipramine to help her feel calm and settled, and her vet has noted a positive difference since she started it.
She takes it well once a day with food. Any changes to her dose should be made with her new vet's guidance.
Her patient history is on file and ready to be forwarded to her new guardian's veterinary team.

Adoption details
When enquiring about a pet listed with Home2Home, your enquiry goes directly to the pet’s guardian—the person who knows them best!
From here, the guardian will be in touch to learn more about you and chat with you about their pet. It’s a great opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about the pet, including its likes and dislikes, needs, and how it may fit into your lifestyle and family.
If your home and lifestyle match the pet's needs, the next step will be arranging a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone is happy to proceed with a formal adoption.
Following the adoption, change of ownership paperwork will be completed, and proof of vaccination, microchipping, and desexing (if applicable, as indicated on the listing) will be provided.
All pets adopted through Home2Home will require an adoption contract to be signed and an adoption fee to be paid. The pet’s guardian will complete the adoption contract with you and provide a link to PetRescue’s secure payment portal for completing the adoption fee payment.
Home2Home currently operates a ‘pay what you choose’ system for cat adoption fees. This means that adopters will be able to choose an adoption fee amount that is suitable for them. All adoption fees are used to support PetRescue's life-saving programs, including Home2Home.
