About Athena

Athena is that rare kitten who manages to rule the room even at the tiniest size. She’s got a healthy appetite and isn’t shy about letting you know when mealtime is approaching—especially if her pal Asher is around. Watching Athena and Asher chase each other through the tunnel never gets old, but Athena always makes sure she’s first to the food bowl, sometimes nudging Asher aside with a little burst of determination. Though her big, soulful eyes can look a bit sad, Athena is all about joy and comfort when she has a full belly, especially if you swaddle her on your chest, where she’ll purr herself to sleep. She loves having dog friends and grew up with two, so the canine crowd is welcome in her world. Athena is ready to make a happy home with someone who appreciates a feisty spirit and a warm cuddle.
