Dreamsicle Dexter's Story

*** If you have any questions or would like to meet any of our adoptable cats, email catadoptions@nawsus.org. Please include a cell number and check your SPAM folder if you do not receive a timely response. <br/><br/>Adopt Dreamsicle Dexter! <br/> <br/>Some cats wait quietly, hoping someone will finally see them. Dreamsicle Dexter has been waiting far too long for that person — the one who looks past a few simple needs and sees the gentle, loyal, loving soul underneath. <br/> <br/>Dexter is a handsome 9-year-old boy with so much love left to give. He is listed as special needs only because he must stay on a specific SO food to support his urinary tract health. Beyond that, his foster says he is a very normal, affectionate cat who simply wants what every pet deserves: safety, comfort, and a family of his own. <br/> <br/>Dexter was rescued from animal control in southern Illinois, where his life was at risk. He was brought north for a second chance — and now he is still waiting for someone to turn that second chance into forever. After everything he has been through, Dexter has not stopped loving people. His foster describes him as a purring machine who melts for attention, asks for endless pets, and curls up beside her in bed, purring himself to sleep because he feels safe. More than anything, he just wants to be loved. <br/> <br/>Dexter would be happiest as someone's one-and-only cat, where he can finally relax and give his whole heart to his person. He is not a fan of playful cats who crowd his space, though he may do fine with a calm cat who leaves him alone. He is comfortable around dogs. <br/> <br/>This sweet orange boy is curious, playful, and full of personality. He loves to climb, explore, and watch the world from a cozy cat tower by the window. When he gets excited during play, he can be a little silly and enthusiastic, sometimes holding on and making a kicking motion, so a home with older children who understand cat play would be best. <br/> <br/>Yes, Dexter needs special food. Yes, he would prefer to be your only cat. But those are small things compared to what he is offering in return: devotion, companionship, warmth, and the kind of love that comes from a cat who knows what it means to be saved. <br/> <br/>It is heartbreaking to watch a good cat wait simply because he needs one specific diet and a peaceful home. Dexter is not asking for much. He is asking for a chance. A soft bed. A sunny window. A person who will choose him and never make him feel unwanted again. <br/> <br/>Please do not let Dreamsicle Dexter keep waiting. If you have room in your heart and home for a loyal, affectionate boy who is so ready to love and be loved, be his hero. Dexter's forever person is out there — maybe it is you. <br/><br/>Want to help care for him while he waits to find his forever home? You can be a "Sponsor!" Click on the "sponsor" button on this profile and your one-time donation will be used for vital everyday essentials such as his food, litter and medical care! Thank you for helping save lives!<br/><br/>All NAWS cats are spayed/neutered, micro-chipped and up to date on vaccines.<br/><br/>A Cat Adoption Application is required should you decide youd like to apply to adopt a NAWS cat.
