About Selene

Meet Selene, a shy but affectionate little sweetheart waiting for the right person to help her shine. This lovely young kitty was rescued after being picked up as a stray and has since found comfort with her littermates in her foster home. Selene is timid and still learning to trust people, often retreating when approached. However, once you offer her gentle attention, she melts into your lap, purring softly and will nuzzle you sweetly. With time, patience, and love, she can blossom into a wonderful companion. Selene thrives on the company of other cats, so her ideal home would include at least one friendly feline friend to help guide her through her fears. Although she can be hesitant, once she feels safe, she loves to play with toys when she thinks no one is watching. She’s looking for a calm home without children, where she can settle in at her own pace. If you’re that special person ready to be her safe haven, Selene promises to reward your kindness with love. Could you be the loving adopter who gives Selene the happy ending she deserves?
