About Dolly

Dolly is a charming cat who captured her foster mom's heart with her gentle demeanor and resilience. Found searching for food near dumpsters, this one-year-old girl quickly showed her desire for a loving home. After a tender rescue and some good meals, Dolly settled into a safe environment where her true personality began to shine. This sweet tabby, with her soft coat and calm spirit, relishes her quiet time lounging in cozy spots, especially under the warmth of a heater. She enjoys observing her surroundings from a distance, loving gentle strokes from those she trusts. Dolly thrives in a peaceful home that respects her independent nature and allows her to gradually build trust. As a FIV-positive cat, Dolly can live harmoniously with other cats as long as there are no conflicts. Her slight imperfection, a raised lip from a few missing teeth, doesn't impact her cheerful appetite for both canned and dry food. Rather than rushing, she approaches her meals calmly, showing her understanding of a more stable life now. If you're in search of a mellow companion who brings serenity to your home, Dolly may just be the perfect fit. Come meet her in Catonsville, MD, and discover a love worth cherishing.
