About Serena

Serena is a gentle soul who blooms in peaceful spaces—she’s slow to trust at first, but once she knows you, a scratch on the head sets off a purr-fueled drool session. She prefers her world quiet and steady, so a home without young kids suits her best. High perches draw her in, and she’ll happily hang out above it all, quietly observing. Serena handles being picked up, though she startles if carried far or if things get hectic around her. She shares her calm nature well with mellow cats. When it’s mealtime, Serena eats both dry and wet food like a champ, but she’s picky—fish flavors and gravies are favorites, while pate is firmly rejected. Delectables are her special treat. She’s a little April Aries, so don’t be surprised by her streak of quiet independence. Give her some patience and a soft spot, and she’ll be your secret joy. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
