Available for adoption, Althea 🖤
- Female
- 2-3 years

Here’s what her fosterers say about her:
“Althea came to us as emaciated stray roaming Miramar, we had tried to find her owners but no one claimed this sweet girl, after a few weeks of some gentle love and lots of yummy food she perked right up!

Althea is a big girl who loves to play but can be rough so needs someone who will take the time to train her to be gentle. She’s not much of a lap cat but will definitely come and sit beside you as you work or are watching the telly.

Althea would best be suited to a home with no young children (teenagers ok), no other pets and an indoor/outdoor home”

Althea is desexed, has her first vaccination and is microchipped, her adoption fee is $250.

Please email us at poonekengerurescue@gmail.com or to view our other cats available for adoption, check out our Facebook page.

"A couple of days ago I just spent some time watching a blackbird hovering around our grapevine and helping herself to the juicy grapes. I was fascinated at how adept she was at skinning them too! I got a that shot showed a skinless grape, which I thought she would swallow, but she dropped it like a hot potato and ate the skin instead."
