Karate Kid - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

A man who catches a fly with chopsticks can accomplish anything. A cat who catches a fly with their paws accomplishes a stressed out parent monitoring for worms. Wax on, wax off.

Karate Kid isn't looking for trouble and just wants a cool place to hang out and make new friends to expand his family. After all, he's new here. Making friends can be scary, especially when your a social and affectionate former stray who came into the shelter nursing a few injuries -- he had a few puncture wounds on his back that have since healed up nicely. KK will follow his favorite people around the home, and when he isn't being your favorite new shadow he likes to nibble on some kibble and placate his need for playtime with his favorite toys. He has also been fine living around other cats, so he could do fine in a home as your one and only or joining up with another social kitty. He can be a bit skitish around the unknown, so he would prefer a home rated PG-13 or above.

Karate Kid, along with the puncture wounds, also came into the shelter with really crusty eyes and some mouth pain. He received surgeries for both, getting a few extractions and a full cleaning for his remaining teeth along with the corrective procedure for eyelid agenesis. His future family should just monitor for any new symtoms related to any of the above and consult with your vet if needed.
