Gigi was found living outside struggling to survive as an 8 week old kitten. She was never aggressive but an extremely fearful kitty. It has taken her a minute to really come out of her shell. She enjoys enclosed sunporches (even in the cold), laying by the fire and eating churu. She is not a lap cat but will greet you every morning and will jump up on the couch and lay next to you. She would not be a good fit for a home with small children (she is scared of them). If your dog is cat friendly, I believe she could adjust. It will take her a minute to transfer trust to a new family, so a patient adopter who will give her time and space is a must. She is good with other cats.
