About Dallas

Dallas is a laid-back cat and part of a bonded sister pair with Honolulu. She gravitates toward cozy, warm spots—if there’s a heater or heated bed nearby, Dallas is probably stretched out and soaking up the comfort. Play isn’t her main agenda, but she’ll join in when the mood strikes. Both she and her sister are expert biscuit makers. Dallas would do best in a quiet home, ideally with teens, and she needs an adopter who has some experience with cats. She’s a bit more reserved and cautious than her sister, flinching if approached too quickly and signaling gently when she’s had enough attention. This pair will take time to settle and trust new people, and they’ll need to stay indoors only. Dallas is spayed and up to date on vaccinations. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
