Description

  Meet Mrs. Karen Patricia Green Mrs. Karen Patricia Green is approximately 5 years old, 7 pounds, and a beautiful tabby with striking emerald-green eyes. We named her Karen because, frankly, she looks like one. She has the face of a woman who would like to speak to your manager, but underneath that judgmental little expression is a quiet, increasingly affectionate cat who is learning to trust more every day. Karen spent her entire first day in foster care hiding. Since then, she has made steady progress and now follows her foster around the house—especially when food is involved. In fact, if Karen thinks dinner might be happening, she has a habit of repeatedly weaving directly in front of your feet, so consider this your official trip-hazard warning. She is quiet, observant, and not especially demanding. She enjoys short petting sessions and is beginning to seek out more attention, although she is not yet comfortable being picked up or sitting on a lap. We are continuing to work on that at her pace. Karen uses the litter box reliably, eats well, and is unfazed by the resident cat’s occasional growling. She will hop onto tables or counters, but she gets down when corrected. She is not a wildly playful cat, at least not during business hours. She has been seen chasing a ball around the room, loves a string-on-a-stick toy, and we suspect some of her more adventurous behavior happens after everyone else has gone to bed. More recently, Karen has started spending time watching the world through the sliding glass doors, taking in all the neighborhood activity like the tiny judgmental homeowner she clearly believes herself to be. Karen would likely do best in a calmer home with someone who is willing to let her continue building trust at her own pace. She is not a cat who wants to be scooped up and immediately smothered with affection, but she is absolutely showing us that she wants companionship and connection. If you appreciate cats with boundaries, personality, excellent resting-bitch-face energy, and the potential to become a very loyal little shadow, Mrs. Karen Patricia Green may be your girl.

GENERAL INFO:   Housebroken?: Yes Non-Shedding?: No Good with cats?: Yes, we think so Good with dogs?: Unknown but likely fine with calm, cat-friendly dog and additional adjustment time Qualifies for Seniors for Seniors?: yes Umbrella of Hope does not have any strict rules on ages of children because all children are different, but our best approximation is that this animal would do best with children over the age of 10 Umbrella of Hope is an all-volunteer, donation-run, non-profit animal rescue based out of Pittsburg, CA that rescues animals from local shelters, places them in private foster homes, provides them with needed medical care and then finds them new homes.  Also, ask us about our seniors for seniors program, where we adopt animals 5 years or older to qualified homes with a $5 donation as an adoption fee. All animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and given any additional treatments (dental work, bloodwork etc) as recommended by our vet.  Adoptions to veterans of the US Armed Services are ALWAYS free to thank you for your service.   We thank Well Pet Vet Clinic for providing most of our veterinary services and give a special thanks to volunteer photographers Tanya, Barbara, Kristy, Christine, Teressa and Natalie.
