Rehoming – Profile
History:
Athena came into our care as she was being bullied by 11 other cats in the property. The stress was causing her lots of fur loss.
Behaviour observations on site:
When Athena first came into us she was understandably absolutely terried. She would hide at the back of her carrier with massive eyes. It took several days for her to realise we weren’t so bad, once she did, she was like a completely different cat. Athena is now desperate for fuss and is the sweetest little girl. Once she feels comfortable with you she loves nothing more than curling up on your lap for a cuddle. She is the most affectionate and loving girl. She is also starting to show her playful side and loves playing with a feather stick toy.
Athena would benefit from a quiet room to initially settle in to prevent her from becoming overwhelmed; before exploring the rest of the property and eventually a fully enclosed garden.
Athena can still gets easily spooked by loud noises or sudden movements so can live with children aged 10+ who will be calm around her. Due to Athena’s previous history she needs to be an only pet.
We reserve the right to remove a reserve at any stage of the adoption process if we believe it is in the best interest of the cat.
Medical history:
Athena has had a dental while in our care. She has no known medical conditions.
Adopters should consider that previous medical conditions will now not be covered by insurance. Adopters are responsible for the on-going medical costs once the animal has been adopted.
