About Dahlia

Dahlia is a delightful and shy cat waiting for someone patient to help her feel secure. Born on March 1, 2022, she came from a hoarding situation where she was surrounded by many other cats and didn't receive much individual human attention. This has left her feeling a bit scared, making it harder for her to express her desire for love. Once you earn Dahlia's trust, you'll uncover her sweet, affectionate nature. She enjoys being petted and will joyfully circle around you while making biscuits when she's excited. However, she isn't fond of being picked up right now. Building trust will take time, so a calm home without young children is ideal. She may fare better with older, respectful kids who understand her need for gentle interactions and patience. With love and kindness, Dahlia has the potential to become a devoted companion. All she needs is a safe environment and someone willing to see beyond her shyness. With the right person, she'll show just how much love she has to give. Her adoption fee is $115 and covers all age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, flea treatment, Felv/FIV testing, microchipping, and spaying. Ready to make a difference in Dahlia’s life?
