Athena 's Story

Athena is a beautiful 1-year-old girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She’s incredibly sweet and loves being near her people — following you around, keeping you company, and making sure you’re never alone on the couch.<br/><br/>She’s not quite a full lap cat yet, but she’s well on her way. Athena is what we lovingly call a “lap-adjacent” cat — she prefers to snuggle right next to you, inching closer and closer as she gets more comfortable. In her foster home, she’s already choosing to sit beside her people on the couch, and we wouldn’t be surprised if laps are in her future.<br/><br/>Athena is extremely playful and loves interactive playtime. Wand toys, games, and attention are some of her favorite things. She's a real huntress! She’s also very good at communicating — she’s chatty, expressive, and not shy about letting you know when she wants food, play, or company.<br/><br/>Athena would thrive in a home that enjoys an interactive, playful, affectionate cat who wants to be part of your daily life. If you’re looking for a sweet companion who will grow closer to you every day, Athena may be your perfect match.<br/><br/>Interested in adopting Athena?

Our policy is to adopt kittens in pairs. We find that kittens are much happier when they have a companion and they tend to expend their youthful energy on each other rather than on your couch! Kittens are adorable, but older cats can be wonderful pets as well and they tend to be overlooked, so please consider adopting an adult cat or two!<br/><br/>The Cat Connection is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3)organization of volunteers who rescue homeless cats.
