About Dottie

Meet Dottie, a beautiful 6-year-old domestic longhair who's all about love. At a hefty 15 pounds, she's not just fluffy but carries a heart full of sweetness. Dottie’s journey began outdoors, where she needed a rescue. A good Samaritan took her in, and she's been learning to thrive indoors since 2022. Unfortunately, her owner could no longer care for her, leading her to Cats Cradle. We’re committed to finding her a loving forever home. Dottie may be a bit shy initially, but she opens up quickly to those who give her a little time. There’s something heartwarming about watching her discover safety and let her gentle personality shine. While we’re still learning about how she feels about other pets, her ideal family would have patience and love to help her adjust at her own pace. Dottie is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and FeLV/FIV negative. If you’re ready to welcome a big, fluffy girl with even bigger love, Dottie could be your perfect match. Don’t miss your chance to meet her—she's waiting for her forever family in Richmond, VA. Your new best friend is just one click away.
