My story

Hi, I’m Karen! Not like a `Karen`...but maybe a little. I’m a beautiful, feisty girl with strong opinions. Pet me—yes, please. No—stop. Actually—yes, pet me again. Wait—don’t touch me. See? But I will let you know what I want. Loud and clear. I’m what they call “overstimulated.” That means I can go from purring to grumbly in under five seconds. I don’t mean to be mean—I just feel things very deeply, and I express them. If you’ve lived with a cat like me before, you’ll get it. No kids, no exceptions. What I do want is someone who’s patient, cat-savvy, and okay with the fact that I might not always want to cuddle. I might never be a lap cat—but I’ll be loyal in my own way. We’ll have our routines, our games, our quiet moments. Do you respect boundaries? Do you believe the best relationships are the ones you earn? Then maybe you’re my person.Weight: ~9 lbsMedical History: I appear to be a healthy adult cat who should meet their new vet shortly after adoption to stay on the pathway of good health. Adoption Fee: $30

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Karen, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
