Vyla loves all big cats but she holds a special place in her heart for cheetahs! “I love how strong big cats are. They can climb, roar and run (just like I do)!” If Vyla could be any animal, her wild heart feels most like a cheetah.
If you look outside and can’t find Vyla, just look up. She can be found climbing the trees and lounging on the branches. If she’s not dreaming of climbing with monkeys, she’s swimming with the turtles and fish in our pond. Her family spends as much time outdoors as possible. V never wants to be cooped up inside when there’s so much world to see and experience.
