Kara, calico

Kara is a lovable female calico cat currently residing at 13th St. Cats.

No need to worry: She is already house-trained and spayed.

From Kara's current caretaker:

She is an indoor/outdoor cat who is very kind, intelligent and independent. She is quite friendly around adults and older children, but is not comfortable around dogs and other cats. It is better for her to be in a quiet environment with no other animals and not to be handled by very young children without supervision. She likes to be held and petted.

Tulip is a goofy girl with enough personality to keep you entertained for hours. She loves to play with toys, loves to sit in laps and loves to birdwatch.
