PLEASE: fill out an application at www.browndogcoalition.com/cats after reading the entirety of the adoption profile. Inquiries will slow down the adoption process.Meet Daisy! Daisy is a beautiful 6-month-old tabby who made her grand entrance by showing up at a clubhouse, as if she knew she was meant for a better life. Since then, she’s proven to be the perfect mix of sweet and spunky. She’s affectionate and loves attention, and brings just the right amount of sass to playtime with her foster friends. Daisy has a playful spirit—she’ll happily chase toys, pounce around, and then settle in for one of her favorite activities: window watching. Give her a cozy perch and she’ll be entertained for hours. With her gentle heart and confident personality, Daisy would thrive in a loving home where she can play, explore, and soak up all the affection she deserves. ?? Daisy hasn’t been around dogs or kids, and she gets along with other cats. She’s eating Purina Kitten chow for dry food and a Fancy Feast wet food.
