Xena, Warrior Princess

Meet Xena, Warrior Princess!

Xena is a tiny tortie with a BIG personality and enough tortitude to rule her kingdom! This beautiful girl is a true survivor who has already overcome more in her short life than most cats ever will.

Xena was found extremely malnourished and in desperate need of help. After being rescued, she was diagnosed with panleukopenia. Against the odds, this little warrior fought through it and survived. Today, she is healthy, spunky, energetic, and ready for her forever home.

Xena was bottle-fed from a very young age and grew up as a solo kitten, so she didn’t get the same opportunity to learn kitten boundaries from other cats. She is VERY enthusiastic about using her teeth and can be quite bitey when excited or overstimulated. Because of that, she is not a good match for a home with small children. Her ideal adopter will be an experienced cat owner who is patient, consistent, and willing to keep helping her learn appropriate play.

And Xena LOVES to play. She hunts, chases, pounces, and stalks her toys with total commitment. When she catches her feather toy, she sometimes growls over it like a tiny lioness protecting her prize.

Xena is affectionate in her own very-Xena way, and we think her softer side will continue to grow as she settles in and builds trust with her person.

Xena may do especially well with another playful, appropriately matched cat who can help teach her some manners and give her an outlet for all that energy.

She isn’t looking for just any kingdom — she’s looking for the right one: an experienced cat person who will appreciate her quirks, respect her boundaries, give her lots of playtime, and love her through her spicy phases.

If you’re looking for a beautiful little tortie princess with warrior energy, a survivor’s spirit, and enough personality to keep you laughing every day, Xena may be your girl.
