Elena is a beautiful, 6-year-old spayed cat who needs a quiet, child-free home with an experienced cat owner. She’s independent and can be affectionate on her own terms, but has shown aggressive behavior in the past when overstimulated or anxious.
She had a benign mammary tumor removed in 2023 and is otherwise healthy and up to date on vaccinations.
Elena would thrive in a calm, stable environment with someone patient and understanding of cats with behavioral challenges. This is a very difficult decision made with her best interest in mind.
If you think you might be the right match, I’d love to connect and share more.
