In the shelter’s words

Ketera was found as a tiny kitten hiding inside a car engine, terrified and trying to survive. She’s grown into a much bigger, healthy young cat, but she never fully learned to trust people. Ketera is still very feral in her behavior — she does not allow touching, prefers to keep her distance, and feels safest when she can choose her own space.She does well with a quiet home that understands truly feral cats and is comfortable providing a safe, low‑pressure environment. Ketera would be happiest as an indoor companion cat who can coexist with people without the expectation of handling or cuddling. With time and patience, she may continue to make small steps forward, but she will likely always be a hands‑off girl.Ketera is spayed and ready for an adopter who appreciates independent, untouchable cats and wants to give her a safe place to live.Adoption fee: $75 Apply to adopt at: www.midwestpetrefuge.com/adoptIf you are interested in adopting this pet, please go to www.midwestpetrefuge.com/adopt to complete an application.
