Dotty

Meet Dotty 🖤

At just 1 year old, Dotty has already perfected the art of being both adorable and mildly nosy. If there’s a high shelf, wardrobe top or suspicious rustling noise somewhere in the house, she will investigate it like the tiny furry detective she believes herself to be.

Dotty is a wonderfully affectionate girl who loves fuss, cuddles and being involved in whatever you’re doing. One minute she’ll be curled up beside you soaking up attention, the next she’ll be perched somewhere high up silently judging the household activities from above.

She also enjoys a good game of hide and seek, usually where you do the seeking and Dotty congratulates herself on being invisible despite half her tail hanging out.

Dotty would suit a home with children aged 10+ who understand that sometimes a lady needs a little peace and quiet between cuddle sessions. She may be able to live with another friendly cat following slow introductions, but she’d also be more than happy as the centre of attention in a home all to herself.

Dogs? Absolutely not. Dotty did not sign up for that level of chaos.

If you’re looking for a loving, playful, slightly dramatic little shadow to fill your home with affection and entertainment, Dotty may just be your girl 🐾

Partially Vaccinated: The first vaccination has been completed. The second will need to be arranged and covered by the new owner.

We’re a foster-based charity, so each cat lives in a home environment before adoption. This helps us see how they cope with things like children, other cats, and dogs.

Because we don’t always know a cat’s full history (especially if they were a stray), our guidance is based on what we’ve observed in foster care. For example:

  • If a cat has lived happily with children, we’ll note they’re suitable for family homes.

  • If a cat is very timid and hasn’t been around children, we may suggest an adult-only home.

  • The same applies for cats and dogs — suitability depends on their behaviour and what we’ve seen first-hand.

As a foster-based rescue, when one cat is adopted their space is quickly filled by another in need. If a cat is adopted into an unsuitable home and has to return, it unsettles them and creates real challenges with our limited foster spaces.

We also believe that, where possible, cats should have safe access to the outdoors. Unless a cat is specifically listed as indoor-only, outdoor access is a requirement for adoption.

Our priority is always to match each cat with the home where they’ll feel safe, settled, and happy.
