Meet Tahmineh, a beautiful little heroine with bright golden eyes, a dramatic black-and-white coat and the kind of face that looks like it belongs in an ancient epic, preferably one with velvet cushions and excellent snacks.

Tahmineh’s name comes from Persian legend, from the story of Rostam and Sohrab, where she is remembered as a figure of strength, courage and deep feeling. It is a fitting name for this tiny legend, because Tahmineh may be small, but she carries herself like someone who has heard the stories of dragons, demons and dark unknowns and decided she would rather face them from the safety of a cozy bed.

She is also named in honor of a very favorite aunt, which means she comes with an extra-special title already built in. Think of her as Auntie Tahmineh, wise, watchful and just mysterious enough to make you wonder if she knows more than she is letting on. With those stunning eyes and that unforgettable expression, she looks ready to offer life advice, judge your decisions gently and then accept all the affection you are willing to give.

Tahmineh is looking for a home where she can be adored like the legend she is. She brings beauty, sweetness, strength and a name with a story. If you are looking for a cat with heart, history and a little epic sparkle, Tahmineh is ready to begin her next chapter with you.
