That hug from Lyra, the special cat who knows how to convey so much sweetness

Lyra is a special cat. And not just because of her orange fur, which is not so common. And not even for cleft lip, an unusual genetic condition in which a kitten’s lip doesn’t develop properly during pregnancy. But, and above all, for that sweetness of hers that she manages to convey to those who meet her.

She lives in an animal shelter in Moscow, Russia. Unfortunately, she has not yet been able to find a home and a family that wants to adopt her. However, it could be a matter of days after her behavior towards a boy who met her in the shelter became known: as can be seen from the video published on Instagram (@koshko_mafia), the teenager with the orange sweatshirt approached her cage, but he didn’t expect such a sweet reaction from the cat.

For Lyra, all it took was for the young man to lower his arms and she jumped on top of her and gently and decisively rubbed her head against the boy’s face, a real enveloping hug that made the little human melt into a smile full of happiness. and with visibly shining eyes.

Despite her harelip condition, she is full of life, mischievous, curious and extremely affectionate: “It’s impossible to take your eyes off her. Her round eyes are so expressive that it’s impossible not to be enchanted,” the shelter wrote on Instagram . Now all that’s needed is for someone local to step forward to welcome that sweetness of hers.
