About Karmen

Karmen is an 8-year-old beauty with a lovely dilute tortoiseshell coat and long fur that deserves to be appreciated. She's a bit camera shy, but that just adds to her charm. Timid around new people, Karmen values her personal space and would flourish with a gentle adopter who understands her need for some patience. She’s accomplished quite a bit in her life too, having made a significant contribution to veterinary medicine as a blood donor, helping over 100 animals in need. Karmen is great with cats, so if you have feline friends already, she should fit right in. However, her caretakers suggest a home without young children would suit her best. While she hasn't lived with dogs, she could coexist peacefully with one, provided it respects her space. Karmen is spayed, litter box trained, and up to date on vaccinations. If you want to meet Karmen, her caretakers welcome appointments in person or via Zoom. This has the potential to be a beautiful friendship. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
