Hello, I’m Serena. I’m a 3-year-old tortoiseshell girl with an elegant little ear tip — a reminder of my days living as a community cat. Life outside taught me to be cautious, but it also taught me how to get along with other cats, and I still feel most comfortable when I have feline friends around. I’m also FIV-positive, which just means I need the same things any cat needs: good care, a low-stress home, and someone who understands that I’m more than a label. I can live a long, happy life, and I get along beautifully with other friendly cats. I’m a shy soul, the kind who prefers quiet corners and gentle voices. Sudden noises and busy environments can overwhelm me, so I’m hoping for a calm, peaceful home without small children — a place where I can take my time to settle in and build confidence at my own pace. With patience, I’ll start to show you my softer side: the slow blinks, the quiet companionship, the trust that grows day by day. If you’re someone who appreciates a gentle heart and believes in giving shy cats the space they need to bloom, I think we could be a wonderful match. I’m Serena, and I’m ready for a safe, loving home where I can finally relax and be myself.
