About Kora

How can you look at Kora and not smile? She’s full of life, a little bit pushy when it comes to claiming your lap, and loaded with sweetness. At about 10 months old, Kora was found roaming the streets of Bayonne in November 2024, practically inviting herself into a better life. After some kind people took her in and searched for her family, it became clear no one was coming—so now she’s hoping to be that special someone’s cat. Kora stands out for her bold, friendly energy and quirky charm. She tends to be up close and personal with people, so her future person should love a cat who wants to be everywhere you are. She’s short-haired with striking calico coloring and isn’t shy about making herself at home. While she does get along with cats, she’d likely do best as an only cat, or possibly with just one or two others. Ready to open your door (and heart) to a cat that shows you exactly what she wants out of life? They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
