About Xena

Xena is on the lookout for her forever home after being found as a microchipped stray. Despite multiple attempts to reach her previous owner, she never returned, leaving Xena in search of a fresh start. She's a bit shy initially, preferring to observe from her cozy hiding spots until she feels comfortable. Once she warms up, though, she shows her sweet nature. Xena gets along well with other cats, sharing her space amicably with them. However, she's not had much exposure to dogs and would thrive best in a calm home environment. Older, gentle children would be a suitable match, as they are less likely to startle her. If you're looking for a patient companion who needs a little time to adjust, Xena might be perfect for you. Come by to meet her—she's ready for a new chapter in her life. Your new best friend is just one click away.
