Do you believe in love at first sight? Well, let me tell you about the enchanting journey of Dolly, a sweet and gentle 1-year-old girl who captured her foster mom's heart! 🌸 Picture this: In November 2025, Dolly was found wandering near dumpsters in a bustling commercial area, on a quest for food. But wait, this was no ordinary rescue! When her foster mom stepped into a café to ask about Dolly, guess what? Dolly waltzed over to the glass door, peeking in as if to say, "Pick me! This is my moment!" 🥺💖 It wasn’t long after that she was seen rummaging through a dumpster— a sure sign that she was starving. Thankfully, a kind-hearted cook had been feeding her, and with a good meal at hand, Dolly was apprehended with ease. Initially, Dolly was taken to a shelter to keep her warm and safe while her foster mom looked after other little furballs. But, oh my goodness! She just couldn't shake the thoughts of Dolly from her mind! After her other fabulous foster kitties found their forever homes, she knew it was time to bring this gentle soul into her loving care. Dolly is the embodiment of calm. This delightful girl enjoys the simple pleasures of life, with her favorite activity being a cozy nap in her bed under the gentle warmth of the heater. 🛏️✨ She loves to observe the world from the comfort of her safe indoor haven, always curious but ever so content with soft, loving pets. Dolly would thrive in a peaceful home where her independent spirit is appreciated and where building trust comes naturally. Here's the scoop: Dolly is FIV positive, but darling, that absolutely does NOT define her! Cats with FIV can live joyful and fulfilling lives, often becoming low-maintenance companions that add serenity to any environment. She also has some charisma with her charming, slightly raised lip due to a few missing teeth, but don’t let that concern you—it’s just part of her unique beauty! 😻 When it comes to meal times, Dolly is a true lady; she enjoys both canned and dry food, relishing every bite with a newfound ease. Having experienced the struggle of a stray life, she now knows where her meals come from and how to communicate her hunger by adorably appearing in the doorway and trotting over to her food bowl! 🐾 If you’re seeking a peaceful companion who will quietly share your space and bring a sense of calm and love into your life, then Dolly is your girl! Come meet her and get ready to fall head over heels! 💕💫 To adopt, you must first complete an adoption application and meet Dolly in her foster home—please note, no same-day adoptions here, and we usually adopt within the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
