About Dorothy

Meet Dorothy, a beautiful 12-year-old little lady with a very big personality. Dorothy came to Pawpurrs after being found living in a garden in Hindley. A lovely couple had been feeding her, but when they scanned her microchip, we discovered she had been registered to an address nearby. Sadly, the contact details were no longer valid, and the person living at the address had been there for around 10 years. We don’t know whether Dorothy was lost, abandoned or left behind, but somewhere along the way she was left without the care she deserved. Dorothy is a sweet girl who absolutely loves her food although she will make it very clear that her dinner is hers! She also craves human attention and affection. At 12 years old, Dorothy is looking for a quiet retirement home where she can finally settle and be someone’s special girl. She needs to be the only pet in the home, with no cats or dogs, and preferably no young children. She would suit someone who can give her patience, love and plenty of time to settle. Older cats are so often overlooked, but Dorothy has so much love left to give. Could you be the person to give Dorothy the peaceful, loving home she deserves? If you think you could be the right fit for Dorothy, please fill out our adoption enquiry form, and get in touch with us.
