She prefers affection on her terms and isn’t shy about communicating when she’s had enough, using gentle swats and growls to get her message across. Dottie is around a year old, spayed, and fully vaccinated, ready for a new loving home. If you're looking for an independent yet affectionate companion, Dottie could be the perfect match for you.
