Meet Antonia, a resilient and loving 4-year-old cat with a heart full of hope. 

Antonia's journey began in heartbreaking way when she was found abandoned in a carrier on the side of the street, left wearing a collar with a bell. Frightened and unsure, she slowly began to trust again as our dedicated team showered her with love and care. After four weeks, Antonia has blossomed into a sweet and affectionate companion who seeks attention and adores being petted. Antonia is ready to embark on a new chapter, seeking a forever home where she can share her gentle nature and warm affection with a loving family. 

If you would like to be best friends with this adorable feline, please call (714) 935-6848, and mention Animal ID# A1810542.
