Dawn's Story

Meet Dawn <br/><br/>Some cats burst into a room demanding attention... and then there's Dawn. Quiet, gentle, and soulful, this beautiful 2-year-old tabby is the kind of companion who brings a peaceful calm to a home.<br/><br/>Dawn came to us from DACC absolutely terrified and extremely head shy, unsure if humans were safe or if love was something meant for her. Watching her slowly learn to trust again has been incredibly special. Now, once she feels comfortable, she leans softly into affection and looks at you with the sweetest, grateful eyes.<br/><br/>She's the type of cat who will quietly perch high on a cat tower watching the world outside the window, nap peacefully nearby while you relax, or make you smile by splashing her paw in the water bowl or batting at the cat fountain like it's the greatest invention ever created.<br/><br/>Dawn is not wild or demanding. She isn't looking for chaos or a busy household. What she truly needs is a calm, patient home where she can continue blossoming at her own pace. A quiet environment with kind humans who understand that some of the sweetest souls just need a little time to feel safe.<br/><br/>She is perfectly litter box trained, incredibly clean, and simply has the kind of comforting presence that makes a house feel more like home.<br/><br/>For the right person, Dawn won't just be a pet... she'll be that quiet little shadow nearby reminding you every day that healing, trust, and love are beautiful things.

Save Monroe Strays's Adoption Policy
Thank you for your interest in adopting from us! We are an all volunteer, 501c3 animal rescue in southeast Michigan. Our mission is to place all of our animals in loving, permanent homes. You are not purchasing a pet from us; you are adopting a living, breathing, creature that deserves safety, love and care. Your answers on the application are assurance to us that the animals we care for are going to good, permanent homes. All of the information on the application is confidential. Feline adoption fees - $125 for kittens under 8 months, $100 if over 8 months, and $60 if over 9 years old. Canine adoption fees - $350 for puppies under 1 year, $300 if over 1 year, and $200 if over 7 years old. Foster-to-adopt and Adoption fees are non-refundable. We do not use a first-come, first-serve process when adopting out our animals. Instead, we focus on best fit for each individual animal. The process is intended to ensure a long-term successful adoption for both the family and pet. Dogs can live 10-15 years, and cats can live 15-20 years, so please make sure your lifestyle allows the time, patience, and ability to cover expenses your new pet will need over the years. Will you be travelling frequently, moving soon, or having children? Responsible pet ownership includes as-needed and routine veterinary care, quality food, preventatives, and other supplies. You must be at least 21 years old to adopt. All of our adoptable animals have had a complete veterinarian checkup. Our dogs and puppies are heartworm tested. All of our animals are spayed/neutered, dewormed, and have received age-appropriate vaccines before going to their forever homes.
