Available for Adoption, Rutland VT

Dora is a very friendly people-oriented lap cat. Her gift to you on a cold winter’s day is purrs, cuddles, and warmth.

Dora: February 5, 2020 – Adult Female

Dora is a stunning Dilute Calico who is a people cat! She will forgo playing with other kitties for affection with her foster mom.

Dora is very social. She loves affection and wouldn’t mind having a human all to herself. She will talk a bit if she isn’t getting your full attention. She likes to find spaces to hang out like closets, etc. We think she might like a cat tent!

Dora: February 5, 2020

She is a sweet girl and very social and calm. She will pull at my arm or leg if I stop petting her and she wants more. She likes humans more than she does other cats, she doesn’t play much but seems to like the laser, she is always sleeping in one of the baskets I have blankets in for them or in my closet.

Foster mom
Dora: February 5, 2020

She was surrendered to The Feline Connection with her sister Dottie and Dottie’s two kittens when their mom had a life change that included a huge amount of travel away from home.
