My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Catfish – A Sweet Soul Learning to Trust 

Catfish is a beautiful and gentle mama cat who’s just beginning her journey to rediscover what it means to feel safe and loved. After raising four healthy, happy kittens with incredible devotion, she’s finally getting a chance to focus on herself – and it’s been heartwarming to watch her take those first brave steps.

She prefers quiet and cozy rooms, and little by little, she’s starting to explore. Just recently, she allowed her foster to pet her for the very first time – a big and exciting milestone! With a bit more time and patience, we know she’ll continue to blossom.

Catfish would thrive in a calm, patient home where she can come out of her shell at her own pace. If you're the kind of person who finds joy in gentle progress and quiet companionship, Catfish might just be your perfect match. She’s not ready to cuddle just yet, but she’s showing signs of trust – and that’s the beginning of something truly special.

Prior to adoption, all cats/kittens are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FeLV, vaccinated, dewormed, deflead, and microchipped.

This cat is in a foster home. More information about this cat and all of our adoptable cats can be found at www.thedancingcat.org/cats. Our adoption application can be found at www.thedancingcat.org/adopt.
