Info" Menu item above.  

Athena was found abandoned and brought to MCHS when no one claimed her.  She had obviously been out in the cold without shelter during the winter of 2022.  Athena is a love bug who likes to be pet and loves to sit in laps. She is probably about 2 years old at the time of her arrival on 4/16/22 here at MCHS.  During her first vet visit, we discovered that Athena was pregnant!  She gave birth to 5 babies on 5/28/22 and was a great momma!   She has tested neg for feline leukemia and positive for FIV, is now spayed and is current on shots.  Her adoption fee is waived because she is FIV positive.  Because of the FIV, she should be the only cat at her home or live with others that have FIV.  A pet carrier is required at the time of adoption and you must be 21 to adopt from MCHS.  To meet Athena or any of our other cats, go to mchs.rescuegroups.org and complete and submit our online application.  We will review and then get in touch to set up a meeting time.  Our address is 101 22 ST SE, Austin, MN.  We are located off of I-90 via exit 180B to 218 SOUTH.  We are just past our local airport.  THANKS.
