My story

LOVES TO BE HELD TUMMY UP LIKE A BABY  DOB 4/13/25 Hey there, everyone! I’m Karma, a cuddly, playful, and loving tortoiseshell gal who is happy to be held endlessly like a baby with my tummy up. Admittedly I can be shy and keep to myself (typical tortietude), but at other times I come to Foster Meowmy, jump in her lap, and then luxuriate in her hugs, cuddles, and kisses. True confessions: I’m almost always a sweetie, but sometimes I nibble on Foster Meowmy, including her toes! After my feral momma birthed Opal, 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. We’ve all got a little mischief in our genes, because we love to escape the foster bathroom so we can explore Foster Meowmy’s bedroom. I’m a little hesitant because I’m scared of the resident two-year-old cat. 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 lap-cat expertise, rowdy playfulness, and affectionate cuddling 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-A042 Karma’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. To apply online: http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php If you have questions prior to filling out the application or want to find out which adoption site Karma will be this weekend, email us at nancy.e.kline@hotmail.com, and a volunteer will get back to you.
