About Dottie

Dottie is a beautiful buff and white cat looking for a working cat home. Just over 2 years old, she has come a long way from her past of living in extreme conditions. After raising her kittens, she's ready for a quieter life that lets her bask in independence while still allowing for some interaction with humans. Dottie appreciates her space, so gentle encouragement is key; she’ll come to you when she’s ready. With her progress in trusting people, Dottie is excited about the prospect of a safe barn or stable where she can enjoy the freedom to roam and relax. She's already spayed, microchipped, and will have her remaining vet work scheduled shortly after adoption. Dottie gets along well with other cats and is eager for a fresh start in a calm environment.
