Karen
Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years
Karen is looking for an adult-only home. She would like to be the only cat in the home and will require outdoor access. Karen is a tough little lady who was actually discovered here on-site at the shelter with her kittens! The team carefully emptied one of our huge skips after Karen and her kittens were discovered hiding amongst the rubbish and thankfully we were able to get them all to safety. Despite having to fend for herself and survive as a stray, Karen has done a great job looking after and raising four healthy kittens. Unsurprisingly, after surviving as a stray and having to defend herself and her kittens, Karen has been quite frustrated with now being confined to a shelter pen. However, our team are seeing improvements every day and she gradually seems to be relaxing and letting her guard down more and more. She absolutely loves her food, playing with her toys and has enjoyed rolling around in some catnip too. She does still remain easily spooked and can lash out when overwhelmed, but overall, and considering her history, she’s making great progress. Karen will need an understanding and experienced family who can offer her the time, patience and understanding she needs whilst she adjusts to life as a pet cat. We do suspect she has been in a home at some point in her life previously, but it is very likely she has spent a significant amount of time as a stray prior to being discovered in our skip! She will absolutely need a safe outdoor area to explore once in her new home, to avoid her becoming frustrated. This incredible little lady is a clever girl and tough as old boots having kept not only herself, but her kittens safe. She now more than deserves to finally be able to switch off from survival mode and relax in the safety and security of her forever home, where she can be spoilt rotten with the love she should’ve always known.
