Dora

Meet Dora – a lovely, well-mannered 8-year-old lady who knows exactly what she wants from life… and that is plenty of fuss and a peaceful place to call home.

Dora is a calm, gentle and friendly girl who truly adores human attention. If you have hands, she will happily make use of them, soaking up every bit of affection you are willing to give. She is not one for chaos or busy households and would much prefer a relaxed environment where she can potter about at her own pace and enjoy the quieter side of life.

She has previously lived in a home with older owners, which suited her perfectly, so a similar calm setting would be ideal. Dora has met children before and could live with older, respectful children aged 10+ who understand that she is a dignified lady who prefers gentle interaction rather than energetic play.

When it comes to other animals, Dora has always been used to having her home to herself and would ideally like to keep it that way. She would love to be the only pet in the home where she can enjoy all the attention, love and sofa space without having to share. While she is currently in a foster home with a dog and may be introduced in time, at present she is looking for a home without other pets.

Dora would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a steady, affectionate and easygoing cat who will bring warmth and comfort into the home. If you are looking for a sweet natured girl who will happily keep you company and enjoy a quieter pace of life, Dora could be the perfect match.

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.
