Dolly B was rescued as a tiny kitten, 5 weeks old, from an elementary school in Somerset, KY. No kitten should be on their own that young.
Dolly was very ill with upper respiratory illness and issues from malnutrition and has taken a lot to get her caught up to become the healthy, beautiful tortie kitten that she is. She remains very petite due to her poor start in life.
She remains a bit scared of people, but we attribute that to have to have numerous vet visits. So NOW she thinks anytime her foster Mom reaches for her she's going the the dreaded vet. Once picked up, though, she is a cuddler. She will need TIME, LOVE, AND PATIENCE from her forever human. She has a best friend in her foster home who is a special needs cat, so perhaps she would thrive in a home with another very easy going LAID back kitty.
Dolly prefers Tuna wet food, is current on age appropriate vaccines.
She is litter trained with good manners.
Dolly remains untested with Dogs and due to her early start we believe only a very calm older dog might be a possibility. She needs a home with NO young children, even as visitors.

After you complete an application, there are several things that we will do:
1. We will check your personal references. Please be sure to list two personal references and include a phone number and an email address. (form asks for one; but I like two)
2. If you do not own your place of residence, we will call your landlord or leasing office. Please check with them first to learn about their pet policy.
3. We will call your veterinarian for a reference. We are looking for a history of annual exams, vaccines maintained routinely, annual heartworm tests and monthly preventatives. We require the following:
* All pets in the home must be spayed or neutered.
* If your pet is not up to date on vaccines, please do not submit the application until you have scheduled an appointment with the vet to get your pets current on their vaccines.
4. If you are a 1st-time pet owner, please include the name and phone number of the veterinarian you plan to use.
5. Be sure to call your Vet(s), giving them permission to speak with us.
6. We may need to do a home visit prior to approving your application, or post-adoption.
If these policies and practices are not acceptable, please do not apply.
