Athena

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Young · 1 year

Age: Approx. 1 year Sex: Female Breed: DSH Colour: Tabby & White About me: Although she was nervous at first, Athena has already blossomed into a very affectionate girl. She is always eager to greet you and will be purring in no time! She has been a wonderful mum and is now ready to enjoy all the love and attention for herself. Cats: Pending further assessment, but potentially. Dogs: Pending assessment. Children: 12 years and over (or 10+ if cat-savvy). Ideal home: Athena would love a calm, loving home where it isn’t too noisy, with owners who understand that another change may feel overwhelming for her at first. Apply to adopt: Please fill out an application form found at the bottom of this page and email it to us at . We are only able to respond to successful applications.

About Athena

What life with Athena looks like

Athena is a young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at St Francis Animal Welfare in United Kingdom.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Athena, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Athena?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. St Francis Animal Welfare handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Athena on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Athena if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — St Francis Animal Welfare will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Athena already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Athena isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with St Francis Animal Welfare early rather than rehoming privately; they know Athena and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
