About Me:

Dory is the smallest of the three litter mates, with big round eyes and a sweet personality that has been blossoming by the day. In her new foster home, Dory was initially happy to let her more confident littermates explore while she watched from a safe hiding spot. But after only a couple days and with some gentle encouragement, this little girl has made fabulous progress. She's now venturing out to play on her own, trusting her foster mom, and most notably has started seeking out affection — purring when petted and curling up in the crook of an arm. Dory will do best in a quieter home and with a gentle approach. A friendly cat companion, like her littermate Marlin, would be a wonderful role model for her. A little patience is all Dory needs to let her sweet, affectionate personality shine — and watching that trust grow is a pretty wonderful reward.
