About Athena

Meet Athena! She arrived at our rescue from Chicago Animal Care and Control after being surrendered by her previous owner. A wonderful foster home gave her a break from shelter life, and here’s what her foster mom shares about her: "Athena has the sweetest, gentlest soul. From the moment you walk through the door, she's there to greet you like she's been waiting just for you. She never misses a chance to snuggle, especially at bedtime, when she'll happily curl up right by your side. She absolutely loves kisses and always finds her own little way to give them back. Athena has so much love to give, and anyone lucky enough to call her family will quickly discover she's the kind of cat who makes every day a little brighter." Athena is spayed and up-to-date on all her vaccinations, including FVRCP and Rabies. She is also tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Athena is currently in a lovely foster home in Wheeling, IL.
