Although I was named after Abuela Alama, who is matriarch of the Madigral family from the Disney movie “Encanto,” I really am just a sweet Momma kitty who has lost her way. Just like Alama in the movie, all of my babies were born with their own special unique magical gifts. Ok, well, not magical, but special nonetheless. I have done my job as a momma and have taken fantastic care of my babies, giving all my love and attention to them for the last several weeks. Now it is time for them to get wonderful homes, as well as one for me too. I am friendly to everyone and my favorite thing to do is give “head bumps” and I will answer you back when you talk to me.

Alma is three years old.
