Meet these resilient rescue cats who recently arrived from a hoarding situation. These cats are now taking their first steps toward a brighter future. Though understandably slow to warm up in new environments, Dain's sweet soul has shown no signs of aggression—only quiet curiosity and a tender heart that’s beginning to peek through as he decompresses.
Every day, we see a little more trust, a little more comfort, and a little more personality. With patience, kindness, and a peaceful home, Dain will have the chance to blossom into the confident, affectionate companion we know he can be.
If you’re ready to offer patience, understanding, and love, this kitty is ready to build a new life with you.
Here are some helpful notes about his demeanor and the strides he's made adjusting to his foster environment:
Summary
- Dain is a very sweet, and also very shy, boy. He appears to be well-socialized.
- He needs to be in the right mood for play, but when he is, Dain comes to life when playing. Once he further comes out of his shell, he’ll likely want a lot of stimulation and play time in any future forever home.
- Dain is affectionate and typically purrs when petted. He seems to seek out play more than he does petting/affection, though. When in the right mood, he can turn into a lap cat but this is more rare. He is OK with being picked up/held but for short periods.
- Dain’s biggest barrier to adoption is his extreme shyness and hiding behavior, which hopefully will abate over time. He also exhibits vocal behaviors - he's a great conversationalist!
- He’s been great with children and would likely be great with an engaged older child or teenager.
- A future adopter may need to closely monitor his water intake and supplementing dry food with broth or water, especially when he’s getting introduced to a new home and nervous.

More about this rescue
The Milo Foundation is an established 501(c)(3) nonprofit, no-kill organization providing an alternative for homeless pets throughout California, through education, adoption services, and providing sanctuary for animals until permanent homes can be found.
Founded in August of 1994, The Milo Foundation Sanctuary is located on two hundred and eighty-three acres in Mendocino County - offering lots of room for the animals to run and play. The Milo Sanctuary animals typically (but not exclusively) are harder to adopt animals and those needing more rural type homes, such as dogs with social or behavioural challenges, feral cats, horses and other farm animals. The Milo Point Richmond Adoption Center is where the majority of our new rescue intake takes place, typically friendly, adoptable cats and dogs, puppies and kittens rescued from shelters where they were facing euthanasia. The Sanctuary is where highly active or reactive dogs can go and have plenty of space, other canine companions (if they are dog friendly) and live in a stress free environment until such time as the right adoption match can be found.
The Milo Sanctuary is what enables Milo to be a No-Kill organization. Milo brings dogs back and forth from the Adoption Center (MPR) to the Sanctuary to give dogs a break from the stresses of the kennel environment and back to MPR later to try again at being adopted. Potential adopters also do come up to the Sanctuary to adopt, by appointment.
