About Heleena

Heleena is initially shy, but in a calm and quiet environment, she quickly opens up and becomes the playful and cuddly companion you’ll adore. She loves to follow her people from room to room, and if you lie down, she'll instantly settle on your chest. While loud noises and fast movements unsettle her, gentle pets, treats, and wand toys can coax her out of hiding. Heleena tolerates handling like a champ and enjoys cuddling, making nail trims a breeze. After a few minutes, she may wriggle away to "reset" before returning for more affection. When she's truly at ease, you might find her dozing off in your arms, relaxed as can be. Her litter box manners are excellent, and while she generally uses her scratching boards, she occasionally needs reminding. Having recently had dental surgery, she is on wet food while she heals and will transition to both wet and dry food long-term. If a gentle, loving companion cat is what you're looking for, Heleena may just be your girl!
