Jena

Jena wasn’t supposed to exist. Her mom was part of a feral colony scheduled for spay surgery, but the night before, she gave birth to four kittens in the back of a trap. Jena was one of them, a tiny surprise in an unexpected place.<br/><br/>SpayMart took in the new family, offering a safe space to grow. But while her siblings adjusted to people, Jena remained wary. Despite gentle care and time, she’s never fully trusted humans. She's not aggressive, just cautious, unsure, and slow to warm up.<br/><br/>But that doesn’t mean she’s not worth the effort.<br/><br/>Jena is healthy, has no behavioral issues, and gets along well with other cats. She’ll do best in a quiet home with no dogs or small children—somewhere she can feel safe and be given the time and patience to learn that people can be kind. She may never be a cuddler, but with the right person, she could learn to relax, settle in, and simply be loved for who she is.<br/><br/>If you’re someone who understands that some cats walk a different path to trust, Jena is waiting. Please contact Lynn at 504-382-5369 to learn more about fostering or adopting this quiet, lovely girl.
