Meet Dawson! Dawson is a handsome 7-month-old red tabby who is still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. The shelter has been a big change for this sensitive boy, so he’s taking his time to adjust. While he may be shy at first, Dawson is slowly beginning to warm up and show his gentle, sweet nature to those he trusts. With patience and kindness, you’ll see his confidence grow a little more each day. Dawson would do best in a quiet home without children under 10 and no dogs, where he can feel secure and settle in at his own pace. He’s looking for a calm, understanding family who will give him the time he needs to blossom into the loving companion he’s meant to be.
