About Persephone

Persephone is a former feral momma cat who’s spent time in foster care learning to trust people. She still hisses if you approach too quickly and stiffens at new touches, but persistence has paid off—she’s beginning to relax, even pushing up into neck and chin scratches when she feels safe. While you can’t pick her up bare-handed yet, she becomes easy to handle with the gentle approach of a towel or blanket. Persephone has mothered two separate litters for her foster, which inspired her mythological name. Now spayed and done with kitten season, she’s ready to find a permanent home that can continue her journey toward becoming a confident companion. Her progress will take work, but it’s rewarding to see her open up. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
