About Xena

Xena is a brave and special girl who’s embraced her life as an indoor cat. It's been heartwarming to watch her learn to trust and play, especially since she adores spring toys. While she may not want to be held, she'll happily enjoy your company and loves a good pet when she's perched on something like a cat tree or table. Xena's journey hasn’t been easy; she arrived terrified of being touched, likely due to past mistreatment. With time and kindness, she now seeks out human companionship and enjoys gentle scratches. She would thrive in a calm home as a single pet, ideally with someone who is home often and leads a quieter lifestyle. Xena has a soft voice and needs a patient guardian who respects her boundaries while encouraging her to trust. The rewards of this friendship will come with time—gentleness and love will unlock her loyalty. Ready to adopt a loving companion?
