\nHi, I\u2019m Proud Mary! I\u2019m a spunky, affectionate kitten with a big personality and lots of love to share. I\u2019ve never met a person I didn\u2019t like, and I\u2019ll happily curl up in your lap for plenty of petting. When I\u2019m not cuddling, I\u2019m sprinting after toys or wrestling with my foster-kitten friend before settling in for a well-earned nap. I\u2019d be a wonderful addition to a kitten-appropriate home. Come meet me! Visit the website of the Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society at berkeleyhumane.org<\/a> to learn more and schedule a meeting.<\/p>\n
