About Zena

Zena is an engaging cat full of personality, ready to find a new home where she can shine. This independent lady has wrapped up her time caring for her three kittens and is eager for new adventures. She's active and curious, always keen to explore her surroundings. Whether lounging on the sofa for a TV session or roaming around for her next project, Zena adds a special touch to any day. Zena enjoys affection and can often be found rolling over for belly rubs. However, it's important to recognize her boundaries. She may swat or nip when she’s had enough, so a patient, experienced cat person is essential. She seeks companionship and thrives in a stable environment where her personality can flourish. An indoor, adult-only home with plenty of interactive play is ideal for her. While she prefers to be the sole queen of her castle, she may tolerate a compatible male cat, given careful introductions. Zena is not suited for homes with children or seniors due to her sensitivity to overstimulation and the potential for bites. With all her quirks, Zena promises a rewarding companionship for the right owner who understands her needs. If you speak fluent cat and are ready for a spirited companion, Zena would love to meet you!
