Meet Noel, a radiant tortoise shell (tortie) beauty whose heart is as big as her journey! 💖 At just 2-3 years old, Noel has an incredible story to tell. This affectionate feline has not only been a devoted mother to three little kittens but has also endured the tough life of living outside an auto parts store for a year! Imagine her strength after going through three pregnancies in just eight months. ❄️ But fear not, she defied the odds and became CARE's very own Christmas Eve Miracle, brought to safety by a thoughtful citizen on that chilly day. Noel's loving nature shines through every time she interacts with her kittens; she just adores them! And let’s talk about her personality! This playful gal is not just all about mothering; she has a zest for life and enjoys playing with toys as if she were a kitten herself. 🎾 After a recent spaying procedure, which included the repair of a sizable umbilical hernia, this resilient kitty bounced back faster than you can say "purr-fect!" 🎉 Though she’s protective of her little ones (especially from that nosy 13-pound dog!), she handles it with grace and never goes on the offensive. Noel hasn’t mingled with other cats beyond her little trio but is likely to fit in well once her kittens find their forever homes. What a remarkable journey for such a young cat who has shown nothing but love through adversity! Now, let’s make sure to celebrate this spirited sweetheart. If you're looking for a cuddly companion who's been through a lot but is bursting with affection, Noel is ready to be part of your family. 🌟 But remember, potential adopters must meet this beauty in person! So, if you feel your heart calling, apply to adopt Noel through the Buddy App today! Take a moment to immerse yourself in her journey and become part of her story! 🌈
