Calico kittens & cats in Santa Fe, New Mexico

THEA Some souls carry stories in their eyes, and Thea’s gaze is a gentle novel of devotion, artistry, and resilience. At 15, this calico queen has known deep love—from a kind older gentleman artist and her longtime feline companion. Their recent passing left her heart searching the stars... but Thea is rediscovering her spark. She purrs like poetry and accepts cuddles like blessings. With her well-managed thyroid condition and a zest for every meal, she’s a reminder that nourishment comes in many forms—love being the most essential. Thea isn't asking for a home; she's inviting someone into the next chapter of a profound soul-to-soul bond. She may be seasoned in years, but she is radiant in spirit—with more life, love, and serenity to share than ever before. If you believe that true connection transcends time and furrows gently into your heart… Thea may be your mirror. +++Thea is spayed and up to date with vaccines. She is 15 yrs old. She has been well-cared for and we have all vet records. She takes an inexpensive thyroid medication twice per day in her wet food. She is a good weight. Her eyes are bright and happy, she loves to take naps. She's gentle and loves life.

If you would like more information on FIV, educational materials can be requested by emailing adoptions@fandfnm.org.  ADOPTION FEE: $100  If you may be interested in adopting, please complete our online application: https://www.fandfnm.org/application.
