About Dala
If you want to give a quieter, often-overlooked cat a real shot, Dala should be on your list. This sweet girl is shy with new faces and keeps to herself at adoption events, but for those willing to be patient, there’s a gentle and affectionate companion beneath her reserved exterior. Dala is just over a year old, full of energy for toys and ready to romp with other cats. She does best in a home with another feline friend, though if you spend a lot of time at home—working remotely or are retired—she might be fine as your only cat. Homes with children over five will suit Dala, but she’ll steer clear of younger kids. She’s comfortable with other cats and may pair well with a foster mate she already knows. Dala might get along with dogs, but only if they’re laid-back and mindful of cats. Dala comes fully vetted—spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, negative for FELV/FIV, dewormed, flea-free, and microchipped. She’s healthy and house trained, and just waiting for someone patient to bring her out of her shell. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
