Dorothy started out rough. She survived a life outside, lost her kittens after a medical emergency, and is now recovering from heartworm. Not surprising, all of this has made her wary, a bit aloof at first, and in need of a patient home that understands she’s worth the wait. She’s learning to trust again and needs space and calm while she heals. Dorothy keeps a close eye on things—on you, the house, her animal companions—once she’s settled in. She will likely accept other pets, even dogs, provided they don’t crowd her while she finds her footing. If you’re gentle and unhurried, she’ll reward you with her own brand of devotion: quiet companionship, some affectionate leg rubs, and a surprising presence at all your bathroom trips. Give her the time and rest she needs, and Dorothy will become fiercely loyal in her own way. Let her be the cat who finds safety with you. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
