Dove's Story

https://foha.org/pet/dove2025/<br/><br/>Meet Dove<br/><br/>Dove is an adult cat with striking green eyes who is blooming beautifully in her foster home. While she is a shy girl who marches to the beat of her own drum, she has made wonderful strides in a home environment, proving that "slow and steady" truly wins her heart.<br/><br/>Her Happy Place<br/><br/>Since moving into her foster home, Dove has claimed a "full room" under the bed as her personal sanctuary, complete with a fuzzy carpet and a large, comfy bed. From this safe haven, she loves to observe the world. While she appreciates her space, she is increasingly comfortable popping out of her spot to advocate for some scratches when she's feeling social.<br/><br/>Social Progress & Interaction<br/><br/>Dove is a gentle soul who thrives on 1:1 attention. She has been sleeping in her foster parent's room every night, quietly building a bond through proximity and shared space. She is incredibly easy to read; she comes out when she's ready and observes from her spot when she's not.<br/><br/>The "Lovey Dovey" Connection: Dove has a special affinity for children! She has opened up significantly with her foster's 11-year-old daughter (who affectionately calls her "Lovey Dovey"). Whether it's the smaller hands or a calm kid-energy, Dove seems to truly love the company of children who understand her pace.<br/><br/>A Predictable Companion: She does best with soft voices and predictable movement. While sudden activity might send her back to her cozy "room," she re-emerges quickly once things settle down.<br/><br/>Confidence & Motivation<br/><br/>Treats remain a strong motivator for her, especially crunchy Temptations. She uses treat time to build her confidence and has begun associating her humans with these positive, tasty interactions.<br/><br/>Ideal Home<br/><br/>Dove is looking for a patient adopter who understands that her shyness is just a part of her charm. She would thrive in a home that allows her to go at her own pace and provides her with a "safe spot" to call her own. Given her recent progress, she would likely do very well in a home with calm children. She remains relaxed around other cats and would likely do well as a single cat or with a steady, friendly feline companion after a thoughtful introduction.<br/><br/> FOHA Adoption Policies and Process:<br/>https://foha.org/pet-adoption/adoption-policies/<br/><br/> ADOPTION FEE INCLUDES:<br/>Spay/neuter, vaccines (rabies and FVRCP/distemper), diagnostic testing (including FIV/FeLV), any additional medical care recommended by our vet, 1 bag starter food, 1 month flea/tick prevention, and 1-month access to Petcademy for post-adoption support.
