Our Queens
Active Queens
Aphrodite
Cassi
Aphrodite — born on April 26, 2023, as Cassiopeia “Cassi” of our Constellations Litter — is a striking charcoal lynx, cloaked in a velvety brown overcast that softly warms her snow-white coat, crowned by a bold, vigilante black mask.
​
The most exquisite girl from her mother Athena’s final litter and one of the very first offspring of her sire, Santos, Cassi carries the legacy of two remarkable lines. With grace and quiet authority, she has stepped into her role as matriarch of Athena’s Den, embodying her mother’s nurturing heart and impeccable sense of order. Under her watch, the spirit of the Den continues to thrive — a living testament to beauty, balance, and bold beginnings.
Persephone
Persi
Persephone — born on October 24, 2023, as Barbie of our Barbie Litter — is a breathtaking silver lynx with luminous blue eyes that instantly capture the heart.
​
She inherits her brilliant, snow-white coat and affectionate nature from her mom, Pandora, while her piercing blue eyes are a cherished gift from her sire, Santos. Graceful and gentle, Persephone brings both beauty and warmth to our cattery.
Past Queens
Athena
Thena
The Original Queen | The Foundation of the Den
Athena was the spark that ignited it all — the heart, soul, and namesake of Athena’s Den. With her commanding presence and deeply intuitive nature, she set the tone for our cattery: bold, nurturing, and rooted in legacy.
​
A stunning lynx queen with a wisdom behind her eyes, Athena raised generations of kittens with both love and discipline. Her lines live on through her daughter, Cassi, who now carries the torch as matriarch — a testament to Athena’s enduring spirit and unmatched grace.
​
Though retired, Athena's influence still echoes through every pawstep taken at the Den. She didn’t just build bloodlines — she built a legacy.
Pandora
Dora
The Gentle Healer | Whisper-Soft and Golden-Hearted
Pandora brought a quiet magic to Athena’s Den. Her presence was soft and soothing, yet her impact was undeniable. With her breathtaking white coat and serene blue eyes, she was elegance incarnate — the kind of queen that moved with grace and mothered with soul.
​
A constant comfort to her litters and a grounding force in our program, Pandora passed on her affectionate nature and striking beauty to every kitten she raised. Most notably, her daughter Persephone carries her calm strength and celestial coat into the next generation.
​
Though now with our partners at Lap Leopard Bengals, Pandora remains our softest memory — the queen who taught us the power of patience and presence.
Hera
The Flame That Fizzled Too Soon | Princess of Potential
Born as Princess Leilani “Lei” of our Hawaiian Gods litter, Hera was a breathtaking smoke-patterned beauty with golden eyes and bold rosettes — the first of her kind in our cattery. A stunning mix of Cassi’s maternal instincts and QuickSilver’s glinting silver tones, Hera carried a regal energy from the moment she arrived.
​
Though her time as a queen was brief, her spark was unforgettable. Hera reminded us that even short chapters can leave lasting imprints. She remains part of our story — a princess turned goddess, forever young in our hearts.
