Story
Meet Tulip – A Quiet Beauty Ready to Bloom 🌷 Tulip is a stunning, independent girl who is learning the comforts of indoor life one day at a time. Though people can still be a little scary, she’s beginning to enjoy gentle affection and will even seek out a scratch or two when she’s feeling safe. She has a calm, observant nature and prefers to take her time getting to know new surroundings. Tulip coexists peacefully with dogs and isn’t afraid to set polite boundaries when needed. She would thrive in a patient, low-key home where she can adjust at her own pace and continue to grow in confidence. Tulip is being fostered in Madison, AL and will be spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped prior to adoption. If you're looking for a quiet, low-maintenance companion and have a heart for giving a shy cat the time she needs to trust, Tulip may be your perfect match. 💻 Apply to adopt on our website 📧 Questions?

Story
Linus is a one-year-old short-haired handsome boy. Linus's life started out rough, being feral for the first two months of his life. Linus is at a foster home, not at our shelter. His foster says "Linus has adjusted well with human contact and other cats. He is extremely shy at times, but does like attention and accept pets on his terms. He loves food, treats and is very playful with the rest of the cat clan. Linus will do well as a solo pet or with other cats, but will need time to adjust to his new surroundings in any situation. Linus has not been introduced to dogs or children and not sure how he would react to either." Linus is vaccinated, microchipped, neutered and healthy. His adoption fee is $175.

Story
This handsome boy is Domino. He is 2-years-old and weighs 9.2 lb. Domino is at a foster home, not at our shelter. His foster says "Life hasn't been easy for Domino. He came from a life on the streets where he and his colony eeked out a living until someone started poisoning them. Fortunately the wonderful group of ladies who had been feeding them called me and with the support of DAWS, I trapped all 7 including Domino. All but Dom and Magpie have found their forever homes. Domino came in terrified, hiding under the bed and panicked. But over the months he is learning to trust. Now he comes running when it's time to eat and sits nearby patiently waiting. He is sleeping on the couch now and stays put when I walk by. And last week...he let me touch him. Now Domino has actually started to play with the wand toy and takes food off a spoon I was holding. He's ready. Ready to take a chance. Ready to trust. Ready to find his match in this game of life. Can you be the Domino that finds his perfect partner?" Domino is vaccinated, microchipped, neutered and healthy. His adoption fee is $175. If you would like to meet/adopt Domino, please complete our online application at https://daws.org/daws-forms.
