Opal #car-stowaway

My story

  DOB 4/13/25 Hey there, everyone! I’m Opal, an extremely affectionate, outgoing, cuddly, and playful dilute tortoiseshell gal who greets Foster Meowmy by running up to her to be picked up and held or to cuddle in her lap. When Foster Meowmy bends over in front of me, I’ve learned the gymnastic trick of jumping on her back and then climbing on her shoulder. I’m always happy to be held and then luxuriate in her hugs and kisses, and I’m almost always happy to be held like a baby with my tummy up. I’m the friendliest and most lovey-dovey of the #car-stowaway kittens, so I’m perfectly contented to be held by most people, even strangers. After my feral momma birthed Karma, Jupiter, Pluto, and me outside of Foster Meowmy’s house, she moved us to inside a neighbor’s car (through the open window, I might add). Then Meowmy moved us to a box on her porch, but when Momma saw some neighbors pick us up, she moved us a few doors down to a used-car business. Imagine Foster Meowmy’s surprise when she looked inside an old car and found not only us under the driver’s seat but also another litter of four kittens under the passenger’s seat!! She gathered up both of our stowaway litters and carefully placed us in boxes on her porch so that we could safely nurse. Our mommas continued to move us multiple times, and Foster Meowmy always managed to find us and put us back in our weaning boxes. Finally, when we were five weeks old and could eat on our own, Foster Meowmy brought us all inside to the safe haven of her home where she could care for all of us. She even was the perfect feline Florence Nightingale when she administered antibiotic ointment to some of our crusty eyes. Now that we’re fat and sassy, you can imagine the kitten mayhem that goes on inside our big foster bathroom! We tumble and pounce, climb and wrestle, and when we’re exhausted, we collapse in a kitten puddle. I even enjoy playing with the resident two-year-old cat. We’ve all got a little mischief in our genes because we love to escape the foster bathroom, but Jupiter and I win the prize for impishness because we like to dart around the whole house and not just Foster Meowmy’s bedroom. When I need to take a break from my siblings, I enjoy basking in a patch of sunshine on the windowsill. I’m fascinated when I watch “kitty TV” as the local wildlife scampers and flies by the window. I love Foster Meowmy and am so grateful that she gave me a chance at the fabulous indoor life of a pampered pet. Now I’m ready to bring my penultimate affection, gymnastics tricks, and rowdy playfulness to my forever family. Could I be the next “baby” you hold and shower with kisses? Arrange to meet me today, and if you’re looking for a pair of kittens, please consider adopting me with one of the other seven #car-stowaways. We think it’d be the cat’s meow if we could be adopted together so we could be playmates and cuddle buddies while you’re at work or on vacation. HOPE ID 25-0614-A043 Opal's $125 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for FIV/FeLV, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment against fleas and parasites.
