About Oakley

Meet Oakley! This affectionate girl arrived at Dakin as a stray, bringing her kitten along. Now that her little one is ready for their next journey, it’s Oakley’s turn to find her forever home. She can be a bit shy when first meeting new people, but with patience and kindness, she’ll reward you with heartfelt purrs. Oakley needs a gentle environment where she can adjust at her own pace and gradually show her sweet personality. As an FIV+ cat, she may require a little understanding, but cats with this virus often lead long, happy lives with minimal symptoms. FIV is hardly transmitted between cats, so if you have other feline friends, consult your vet about introducing Oakley to your family. Could Oakley be the companion you’ve been searching for?
