Abeona, an 8-year-old cat living at the Best Friends Animal Society's shelter in Salt Lake City, Utah, is in need of a loving home where she can receive chin and ear scratches — on her terms.
The female dilute calico/tortoiseshell medium-haired cat came to Best Friends from another animal shelter in Utah back in March.
"This confident, chill kitty likes soft pillows and blankets to rest her head," Best Friends Animal Society told Fox News Digital.

While she "loves chin and ear scratches," she does not like "coddling or being smothered with kisses," said the shelter.
The cat knows how to express her limits.
"She will politely push your hand away if she's had enough petting," said the shelter.
While not the most hands-on kitty, Abeona is still able to show affection in her own way.

"Abeona loves to ‘boop’ your nose to greet you and rubs her head on you to show her love," said the shelter.
"When it's time for food, Abeona will meow to show her excitement," it also noted, adding that she can be "very vocal."
Additionally, Abeona loves to play.
