Hi there! My name is Athena, and I think I could be your perfect feline companion! With my stunning coat and kind personality, I'm truly a one-of-a-kind cat! I'm a sophisticated lady who enjoys a peaceful and serene life- my golden years are best spent in peace and quiet. I do prefer my own space, away from the hustle and bustle of other animals. But don't be deceived by my independent nature; I adore attention and will certainly let you know when it's time for some pampering!
Though I'm gracefully aging, my heart is brimming with love, and I'm eager to share it with someone who appreciates a calm and devoted companion! Come and meet me and discover the warmth and joy I can bring into your life. Trust me, I'm worth every moment!

A staff member will ask you what sort of pet you are looking for and then will provide you with information about specific pets that appear to be a good fit for your family, taking into consideration such factors as: kids, level of activity, your pet experience, other animals currently in the home, etc. You will be encouraged to interact with the pet or pets of your choice in a private visiting room. We believe that bringing a new pet into your home is an important decision so you’ll have plenty of time to make your decision without feeling rushed. Staff and volunteers will be available throughout this time to answer any questions you may have. Once you’ve made your choice, an adoption counselor will review the adoption contract with you.
You’ll pay the adoption fee. Then you’ll take your new family member home with you!
An animal can be put on hold in person at the TAILS facility during regular adoption hours.

Our mission: Saving the lives of companion animals through rescue, adoption and spay/neuter; advocating for pets in our region.
TAILS Humane Society is a limited admission animal shelter providing a safe haven for almost 2,400 animals each year. We are committed to providing each animal the time and medical care they need to have their best chance at adoption.
TAILS was established in 1999 by a group of local animal advocates dedicated to bringing a comprehensive animal shelter to DeKalb. We operated out of an old farmhouse until 2005 when we cut the ribbon on our Barber Greene facility. In 2009, we opened our low cost Spay/Neuter Clinic providing quality, affordable sterilization services to the public. We continue to grow and strengthen our programs and service as we continue to save lives.
