Two months ago, we posted about Karl, a cross-eyed Siamese that Carly Ankney pulled from the PTS list at the local shelter with a necrotic rear leg and a spicy attitude. After some early gender confusion, Karl had surgery to remove his bad leg and ability to extend the family tree and has been recovering onsite ever since.
On Friday, Mama Natalie cleared Karl for the Kitten Room, and he's taken to it like Mama Su to Korean barbecue. Left for dead on Valentine’s Day and more than a little pissed off about it, Karl has now turned into a purring fluffball. To be honest, his cross-eyes give him an angry bird look by default, but it’s just appearances. He’s pleased to be out of the kennel and into the Kitten Room where there’s room to roam and the carpet provides plenty of traction for a tripod to maximize an ear smoosh. Karl.
