Rescue:

Life on the farm had become overwhelming for a kind couple, trying to do right by the animals on their rural property. They were struggling to manage the evergrowing population of cats. People abandoned cats on their land, and without the resources to spay or neuter them all, pregnancies occurred again and again. Among the adult cats were two lovely adult females: Chara, a gentle cat likely unspayed, and Dory, a nursing mom to five sweet kittens. Though the couple cared deeply for their cat colony, they often gave kittens away for free, desperate to reduce numbers but unable to break the cycle. Fortunately, two compassionate vet techs learned about the situation and immediately stepped in. Knowing the importance of proper vet care and responsible rescue, they made the long 90 minute journey to bring Chara, Dory, and her kittens to safety. When they arrived at the sanctuary, it was clear these cats had been loved. The rescuers were charmed, and so were we. Thanks to quick action and kindness, Dory and Chara’s days of uncertainty are behind them.

Personality:

Dory is a gentle soul with a quiet grace and the kindest heart. Although still young, she carries herself with the wisdom of a cat who has lived through hard times. Her deep affection and incredible patience shine through most clearly in her role as a mother, lovingly raising her six rambunctious kittens with tireless devotion, always grooming, watching, and making sure they are safe. Now that her kittens are growing and thriving, it’s finally Dory’s turn to be cared for. She loves soft pets, gentle cuddles, and will quietly soak up your attention with grateful eyes and a soft purr. Curious about toys and playtime, she’s slowly learning that it’s safe to let her guard down and enjoy the fun she missed out on. Dory is ready to be adopted into her forever home. One that will welcome her into the family and keep her safely indoors.
