About Dove

Meet Dove – a gentle soul waiting for someone to believe in her. This petite, mostly white girl has a hint of brown on her head and is about 8 months old. Her name suits her perfectly; she’s quiet and prefers a peaceful afternoon to being the center of attention. Dove and her sisters, Duchess and Daisy, were rescued from a home with around 20 cats, and they’re adjusting to life at the shelter. While she may initially appear as a wallflower, she loves treats and enjoys gentle pets once she feels comfortable. Dove dreams of a home where she can relax and have her own cozy hiding spot, a tall cat tree to survey her surroundings, and a sunny window to watch the outside world. She seeks a patient and kind person who understands that trust takes time. She’s not looking for instant cuddles, but rather someone who will appreciate each step they take together. While her sisters are also available for adoption, Dove can thrive on her own or as part of a duo. She deserves a loving home where she can learn to be a cherished companion. Could you be the safe place Dove is searching for? Every animal deserves a second chance; this one starts with you.
