DOB 4/1/25
Hey there, everyone! I’m Topaz, a super-sweet, friendly, and very affectionate black Maine Coon mix gal with copper-penny eyes and a huge, fluffy tail. I absolutely love for Foster Meowmy to pick me up and cuddle me like a baby or to walk around the house while she holds me perched on her shoulder. She can hold me interminably, as far as I’m concerned. In fact, I often run up to her in hopes that she will pick me up, and sometimes I even have to gently “meow” to get her attention so she’ll oblige my request.
My feral momma birthed Obsidian, Jasper, Onyx, and me underneath the seat of an old car parked in a used-car business. Foster Meowmy’s finding us when we were only about three weeks old might never have happened if she hadn’t been trying to rescue another set of kittens whom another feral momma had birthed outside of Foster Meowmy’s house. The other momma had moved her litter from Meowmy’s yard to inside her neighbor’s car (through the open window, I might add) and ultimately a few doors down to the used-car business.
Imagine Meowmy’s surprise when she found not only the kittens she’d been tracking under the driver’s seat but also my litter 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 seven 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.
My rowdy siblings and foster mates are fast and furious in their playtimes. I participate in the frisky mayhem only occasionally. I guess you’d say that I’m somewhat of a loner because I prefer to explore new surroundings as well as to bask in a patch of sunshine on the windowsill. I’m fascinated when I watch “kitty TV” as the local wildlife scampers and flies by the window.
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 soft fluffiness and affectionate cuddling to my forever family. Could I be the next “baby” you hold? Or perhaps your next shoulder rider? 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.
