About Dancer

Dancer—known as Dani in her foster home—is a fluffy young cat who’s a real fan of a good brushing session. She had a rough start after an early raccoon attack left her with a broken pelvis at just five weeks, which means she’s still learning the ropes as a young cat. Dancer uses her litter box without fail and feels most at ease around other cats, though people still make her a bit shy. Give her some time, a cozy pillow, and maybe some Fancy Feast, and she’ll start to come out of her shell. Dancer would be happiest in a patient home that appreciates her gentle ways (and her favorite turtle toy). Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
