My story

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

Meet Dory — A Sweet Little Fish with a Big Heart

Just like her Finding Nemo namesake, Dory is super shy but endlessly sweet—and she’s also visually impaired, so she relies on calm routines, familiar spaces, and gentle guidance to feel safe. She’s looking for a quiet, indoor-only home where patience and love help her navigate her new waters.

Dory may be okay with quiet teens who respect boundaries, but one thing is a must: other friendly cats are REQUIRED. Feline friends help her feel secure, confident, and supported as she adjusts. She’s unsure about dogs, so a peaceful, low-stress environment is best. Dory will need lots of extra time to settle in, but once she does, her sweet, loving personality truly bubbles to the surface.

Dory’s Perfect Reef Setup:
Plenty of cozy hiding and napping spots (anemones optional!)
Cat trees, scratching posts, window perches, and shelves arranged consistently for safe exploration
Tons of toys, especially interactive and catnip-filled ones

Favorite Things:
Treats, wet food, catnip, and gentle companionship

If your home has patient, friendly feline “reef mates” and a whole lot of love, Dory is ready to just keep swimming her way into your heart.
