My story

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

Meet Daisy!

Daisy came to ACC when her longtime owner could no longer care for her. She's feeling overwhelmed in the shelter and prefers the safety of a cozy hideaway, but she's beginning to show glimpses of her affectionate side - cautiously leaning in for cheek rubs and enjoying treats when she feels secure. Daisy is a sensitive girl who likes interactions on her terms and appreciates a calm, patient approach.



My Ideal Home

Daisy would thrive in a quiet, adult-only home with experienced cat adopters who understand the needs of a cat who becomes overstimulated. She'll benefit from a slow introduction to her new environment, plenty of cozy hiding spots, and a family who can read her signals and let her set the pace. Routine, gentle encouragement, and enrichment toys (especially wand toys!) will help her feel safe and confident over time.



Good with Kids?

No - Daisy has a history of becoming overstimulated and may bite or swat when touched for too long. An adult-only home is recommended so she can settle comfortably without unpredictable handling.



Good with Other Pets?

Her history with other animals is mostly unknown. She lived as the only pet for many years, and her behavior in the shelter suggests she may prefer a calm, low-traffic household. Any introductions should be slow and carefully managed.



Overall Health

Daisy is overweight and has some hair loss on her abdomen that may be from overgrooming. She also has mild dental tartar. Otherwise, she is stable and doing well with supportive care in the shelter.



Behavior Determination

Experienced Adopters / Adult-Only Home - Daisy may become overstimulated and can play rough, including biting or swatting when touched for too long. She needs adopters who understand feline body language and can end interactions before she becomes overstimulated.



Other Fun Facts

Daisy loves cozy dens, window watching, treat time, and playing hide-and-seek. She may hiss or grumble when unsure, but with patience she'll lean in for cheek rubs and show you her sweet, quirky personality. She's a true "love me on my terms" cat - and for the right person, she'll be a loyal, entertaining companion.
