Dorian Gray is everything you could possibly want in a cat. We're not sure where he came from, but his finder said he just appeared in her yard one day, looking scruffy and hungry with a pretty nasty cold. She took him in, got him the vet attention he needed, and realized immediately that he was a sweetheart who didn't belong on the streets.
Because of his friendly demeanor we are almost certain he had a family once, and was just abandoned for unknown reasons. Sadly, no one claimed him after many attempts to locate a family. Lucky for Dorian Gray, we are going to do everything possible to find him a family who will never abandon him and give him all the love he deserves!!
As we expected, Dorian Gray came right out of his shell in his foster home. He loves playing with his little kitten foster brother and the two of them run around and get the zoomies together! He also showers his foster mom with tons of love, all the time. She says even when he's cuddling up next to her he will often put his paw on her shoulder, just to let her know he's there.
Dorian Gray is a type of cat called a Nebelung, who are known for their doglike qualities, friendly demeanor, and larger size. Dorian ticks all of those boxes! This guy is "thicc" as the kids say - he's got the Tomcat jowls, giving him a round little face, and his fluffy tail is too cute to describe.
He will truly be a perfect addition to any household, and will bring a ton of joy to his new home. If you're looking for an independent cat, Dorian Gray isn't the one for you. If you want a true family member, someone who will be your new best friend, in the middle of the action, and a constant companion... This is your guy!!

Dorian Gray was initially estimated to be ~5 years old, but his energy level has us thinking he's somewhere between 3-5 years. He does very well with other kitties after proper introductions, and has been slowly but surely interacting with his new doggy foster sister. He's not sure about her yet, but isn't scared or aggressive - we think with time and slow introductions he'll do great with a new pup sibling.
Dorian is ~3-5 years old, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. He does a great job of keeping his litterbox tidy... all he needs now is the perfect home!

ABOUT OUR ADOPTION FEES:
Our adoption fees include spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, and transportation costs. Also, when you adopt from ROSES Rescues, you’re doing more than giving your new family member a home. Each adoption fee sponsors a cat on the streets of Houston to get fixed, helping end the cycle of overpopulation in a rough environment. We thank you so much for your contribution to our efforts!
