Say hello to Lila. She is this week’s Star 99.9 Connecticut Humane Society Pet of the Week!  Lila is a one-year-old domestic short hair mix with stunning black and gray stripes that give her total feline fashionista vibes. She's a bit shy at first, but once she warms up, get ready for a sweet, affectionate, and surprisingly chatty new best friend. Lila would love a calm home with adults and maybe even another mellow cat buddy (just no dogs, please, she’s not a fan). She’ll thrive as an indoor-only cat, especially with someone who has a little shy-cat experience. Think you’ve got room in your heart (and on your couch) for Lila? Visit
