Athena

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

This beautiful little girl is Athena, a petite young girl looking for her forever home. She was found hiding her kittens under floorboards and surviving as best as she could. She did a great job with her kittens who are all very healthy. She is now enjoying having time to herself and being spoilt by her lovely foster parents. She is a quiet girl who is really loving and sweet once she comes round. She is nervous of people she doesn't know but once she does she is lovely. She needs a home where she will be loved and given the time, patience and space to gain in confidence and grow into the little princess she deserves to be. We believe Athena would probably be most suited to a quiet household without young children. She is learning to play and can be heard running around in her room playing with her toys. Despite her difficult start to life she has never been feisty or shown any aggression at all, despite being nervous. She really is a good little girl.Athena is spayed, micro-chipped, had her first vaccination and is treated for fleas and worms.If you would like to register your interest in our pretty, petite, young Athena please get in touch by email: - telling us about yourself, family and working hours and giving us your full address including postcode.

About Athena

What life with Athena looks like

Athena is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Cheshire Cats Rescue 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. Cheshire Cats Rescue 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 — Cheshire Cats Rescue 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 Cheshire Cats Rescue 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.
