He’s even the star of his very own children’s book, Karma Cats to the Rescue, authored by his human Katheleen Kastner.
But receiving this honor didn’t happen overnight for Noah, who just celebrated his 11th birthday. He was a street cat for five whole years before being rescued by Rancho Coastal Humane Society.
He’s since been living the good life which includes chilling in his own custom catio with his rescue kitty roommates.
