Looking for Attention: Cat of the Week

Dot is looking for a home, are you looking for a friend?

Hiya!  My name is Dot.  

Like most cats, I nominated myself to be the cat of the week. Sure, I admit I have a bit of catitude, but who wouldn’t after you were brought to a shelter. I was not going to let the opportunity pass me up. I meowed loudly, purred, rubbed up against my cage, and whatever else I had to do to get noticed – and it worked!

Part of it was a show to get noticed, but most of it showed my true colors. I know, I know, I’m mainly white but I wasn’t referring to those colors.  I am a super sweet and loving one year old little girl. I am very social, love all the attention I can get, and am still young enough to play!

If you are looking for the purrfect companion to keep you company, please stop by and visit me.  'What if I’m not a cat person,' you say?  v– she has the same sweet personality and is about the same size as me.
