Dahlia has a striking gray and cream coat that stands out among calico cats. She started life as part of a TNR program before showing everyone her sweet side in a foster home. Among her siblings, Dahlia is the most reserved—she’ll watch new situations from a distance and will need patience and time to build up her confidence. She won’t thrive as a solo cat; another cat in the home, ideally a sibling, is important for her comfort and adjustment. When given a little space and understanding, Dahlia loves to play, chasing after jingle balls and tumbling with other foster cats. Though she’s cautious about being picked up at first, she tends to settle in for cuddles once she realizes she’s safe. Dahlia would do best in a quieter home, with older kids or adults who understand her pace and are happy to let her come around on her own terms. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
