Athena's Story

Athena, named for the Greek Goddess of Wisdom, has wit and common sense! She is stoic, gracious and refined. Athena's human companion will not know if she is trying to prove something or show off. She will be laid back and quiet as Athena absorbs your attention and listens to your voice. She loves to follow you around the house with a cute prissy walk. Athena keeps entertained playing with kitty toys, but her favorite is chasing a ball rolling on the floor. She seeks out a window seat to watch the squirrels and birds eat. Athena will search for an empty cardboard box for a nap! Athena's ideal home is with an individual, couple or family; she seems to take to male company but will except a female's lap. Athena hangs around her littermate Hades and is comfortable being around other cats. If no other cats are in your home, consider adopting Athena along with Hades even though Hades thinks Athena is a know-it-all! Athena is a brown tiger tabby with white mittens and white locket. She shows off hazel eyes; Athena is tall and upright and poses like a statue. As of November 2025, Athena is 8 months old. Her adoption fee is $80.

Friends of Jackson County Animal Shelter Pets's Adoption Policy

At FJCASP, we dedicate a great deal of love, time, and resources to caring for our animals, and our top priority is to see them go to permanent, loving homes with people who have the knowledge and means to provide proper care. Adoption Fee: $80–$150 Vet References Required We require that all potential adopters provide veterinary references. This allows us to confirm that any current or past pets have been kept up to date on vaccinations, preventatives, and are spayed/neutered. Most veterinary offices are familiar with this request. Our goal is to ensure that our animals are placed in homes where they will remain safe, healthy, and properly cared for. Long-Term Commitment Adopting a pet is a serious, long-term commitment. We want all potential adopters to understand their responsibilities and be prepared to care for an animal for its lifetime. Home Requirements To provide a safe environment, we require that adopters provide: - Proper shelter for the animal - Understanding of how to introduce a new pet to children and existing animals -Commitment to keeping the animal as an indoor pet Adoption Approval All adoptions must be finalized and approved by the FJCASP Board. This ensures oversight by experienced individuals who can confirm that all parties understand their responsibilities and that the animal’s welfare is prioritized. Adopter Responsibilities It is part of our adoption agreement that all medical treatments, veterinary costs, preventatives, food, and shelter are the sole responsibility of the adopter. Our goal is to place each animal in a loving, safe, and permanent home, and these guidelines help us ensure that every adoption is successful for both the pet and the adopter.
