Turkish Van and Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Austin, Texas

Thea is a stunning heterochromia beauty, meaning she has two different colored eyes — one crystal blue and one vivid green — and the effect is absolutely mesmerizing. She’s the kind of cat people stop in their tracks for, but it’s her loving personality that truly makes her unforgettable.

This gorgeous girl is sweet, calm, affectionate, and wonderfully gentle. She loves people, does well with children, and enjoys the company of other cats. Thea has a peaceful, tender nature that makes her feel like an instant comfort companion. She doesn’t need to demand attention — her quiet sweetness speaks for itself.

She’s the kind of kitty who will softly settle beside you, blink up at you with those incredible eyes, and make your whole day feel calmer.

Thea does have a heart murmur, and because of that, her spay procedure has been temporarily postponed while we assess the severity and determine the safest options moving forward. Aside from that, she has completed the rest of her medical care package and is being carefully monitored by our rescue team.

Many cats with heart murmurs continue to live happy, love-filled lives, and right now Thea is focused on what she does best: loving people and being absolutely adored in return.

If you’ve been searching for a truly special companion with beauty, grace, and the gentlest soul, Amalthia “Thea” may be your perfect match.

Amalthia “Thea” is fully vetted through New Hope Animal Rescue (with the exception of her pending spay evaluation) and is ready to find her forever family.
