Dr. Dorothy

Breed: Domestic shorthair

Age: 8 years old

This kitty is cautious, but not necessarily a scaredy-cat. He likes space from dogs and isn’t afraid to set boundaries. He hasn’t been around other cats or kids yet, so the jury is out on how he’ll handle them.

Mr. Dorothy, who’s learning to use a scratch pad, loves food. He also loves attention, and will happily curl up under your desk while you work. He a sweet boy who loves petting, but he’s also capable of just chilling on his own. He has diabetes but handles his shots very well. While he drinks and pees a lot, he’s never gone out of the litter box at his Melissa’s Second Chances foster family’s home.
