Doris (01/2015), Female

Hi I’m Doris! I turned up one day in a lady’s garden, I was super skinny, dehydrated and in a terrible condition. I had stomatitis and needed teeth removing, so I was struggling to eat because it was so painful. The lady took me to the vets where they found I was anemic and full of parasites. I stayed at the vets for two weeks before I was allowed to go to the lady’s home! After some investigation it was found that I had an owner and she had passed away. The family had then abandoned me, I was lost wandering alone not knowing where my owner had gone and why I was outside.

​

I am very lucky the lady took me in and finally gave me comfort. After everything I’ve been through I am a little reserved when I first meet you. I need time to settle in and get to know my new surroundings, in my own time. I also have a hard time trusting people, so I need a family who will put in the time and effort to gain my trust. Once I feel comfortable with you, I am an incredibly sweet lady. I am an older cat, so I am calm and really like to sleep in the sunshine on a soft blanket.

​

I don’t ask for much, just a safe home and lots of love. I will be your best friend! I am a very loyal cat, once I love you I really love you. As I am older and a little shy I need a calm home with adults only. I am happy to live with other cats as long as they are kind and calm like me, I’m too old for young kittens and their crazy energy!

​

If you have tasty food I will rub myself all over the bed, your legs, anything I can find to show you how excited I am! I also have a very sweet meow, I am a very polite lady! I have been through a lot so I would love to find a family to give me the life I had before my owner passed away. Full of love and comfort, I can promise I will give you so much in return.

Doris was adopted in February 2023 by the local lady who originally rescued her and she lives happily in Athens.
