My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Athena is about 3 years old and a very affectionate, attention-loving cat. She enjoys exploring outside on a leash when she can and loves looking out windows, especially to watch birds. Since I had a baby this year, Athena hasn’t adjusted well—she does not do well with toddlers, other cats, or dogs. She is sweet, adventurous, and playful. She can catch hair ties in mid-air and loves laser toys, feather toys, scratching, wet food, and catnip as special treats.
Athena is fine with older kids and even babies, but not toddlers since their movement can stress her out. She has a funny personality—she loves to follow me to the bathroom and sits on the toilet while I shower. She really deserves a calm home without young children or other animals, where she won’t be overwhelmed by sudden changes.
I love her dearly, but due to my health I can’t keep up with her care the way she deserves, and it isn’t fair to her. I want her to find a loving home where she can relax, play, and be herself again.
