Story
Twig was stuck in one of our big trees right before the winter storm in December 2025. He was crying and couldn't get down so I went inside and got my climbing gear to get him down. Once we got him inside he ate a ton of wet food and fell asleep in a soft bed. Since then we have gotten him fixed, microchipped and up to date on his shots and now he's ready to start looking for his forever home! He's super cuddly with humans. He's really good with our other cats (even our unfriendly one). He is also good with our (calm and good with cats) dog. We live in a town with a LOT of strays and we've successfully re-homed several cats in the past but Twig is FIV+ which carries a lot of unjustified stigma. It's not a death sentence and most FIV+ indoor cats live normal lives. We would keep him, but we already have 4 cats which is our limit. We also like to keep one slot open for fostering. If you want to adopt Twig you must agree that he'll be an indoor-only cat.

Story
He's old but still has so much life and love to give. I cannot keep him because I had to move and in the location I live in. No one will take pets. He's living in a shop right now with no human contact but for a few hours a day, because Im not allowed to bring him where I am. Its not a good life to live. No foster places will take him because of his age. He's very loving and doesn't mind other cats or dogs and likes kids. He does need like 48 hours to adjust to his home but if you talk sweet with a can of cat food, he will realize you are there to love him. I am willing to supply a months worth of cat food (wet and dry), litter and a cat litter box if you're able to give him a space in your home. He has a few teeth gone (removed by vet) but still eats dry but I like to give him wet at night because Its easier for him.

Story
Fabio is a 3 year old gentle and quiet boy with a very sweet nature. He may be a little shy at first and will need some time to feel comfortable in a new home, but once he warms up he becomes a loving and affectionate companion. He enjoys being near his people and shows his affection in calm and subtle ways.Fabio would do best in a peaceful home where he can settle in at his own pace. He is not a fan of dogs, but he does enjoy the company of other cats and would likely do well with a feline friend.With a little patience, Fabio will form a strong bond and make a loyal and comforting addition to the right home.To adopt, submit an application to athenshumane.org/adopt

Story
Farmer Ted comes from a large colony of cats, which helped shape his unique and adaptable personality. He’s wonderfully independent but still very loving, always happy to seek out affection on his own terms. His natural curiosity keeps him exploring his surroundings and checking in on whatever you’re doing.Ted gets along great with other cats and would likely do well in a multi-cat home. His experience with dogs is unknown, but with a proper introduction, he may adjust just fine. Overall, Farmer Ted is a charming mix of self-sufficient and sweet, a perfect companion for someone who appreciates a cat with both spirit and heart.
