This scraggly wee one was rescued from a puppy mill and has made an incredible comeback.
It’s definitely a happy ending for a kitty who had a rough beginning to life. Athena, a Persian, was found when the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) busted a home in North Carolina.
Due to the deplorable conditions she lived in, Athena was suffering from eye and upper respiratory infections. She was also a feisty one, having lived her entire life in this place.
When they got her off the filthy property, she was resisting and didn’t trust anyone who was trying to rescue her. They immediately took her to Brother Wolf Animal Rescue, where volunteers gave her all the medical care and TLC she desperately needed and began to rehabilitate her and help her learn to trust again.
Today Athena has a family that loves her to pieces and a place she calls home. She is still a sassy cat, but now she knows what it’s like to be loved.
She enjoys spending time with her forever human named Dani Ellis and her canine friends.

Read these characteristics which almost all cat lovers have in common:
INTROVERTED AND SENSITIVE
It’s the nature of cats that they are not friends with everybody, and the same trait can be seen in their owners too. Usually, they live alone and are happy with their independent lifestyle. They are introverts but are comfortable hanging around with other people. However, they would need some me-time to relax and recharge.
CAT LOVERS LEAN TO LEFT
It has been observed that people with liberal political leanings prefer cats over dogs. You might be a liberal dog lover or a conservative cat owner; if you’re a liberal, you love cats and vice versa.
CAT OWNERS ARE OPEN-MINDED
Five traits – conscientiousness, neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, and openness are often seen in most cat lovers. As compared to dog owners, people who have cats as pets are more open and therefore, have greater artistic creativity.
ATTENTION SEEKERS
Just like their pets, cat lovers seek attention from people around them. They like to be the centre of all conversations. At times, cat owners rely on their pets for emotional support.
THEY RESPECT CATS MORE THAN ANYONE
Cat people respect cats more than humans, in general. The saddest sight for a cat lover is to see the animal on the streets without a home. Cat lovers are often seen making a special effort to rescue or rehabilitate homeless cats.
