Dusk's Story

Dusk Female Est DOB: 7/13/20 Domestic short hair, black Bonded with Sallie Dusk and Sallie were found along with their mom, Luna, by a good samaritan. She took them to the vet, got their vaccines and deworming started, and started looking for somewhere they could go since she couldn't keep them. At that point they joined us! Dusk is the more shy of the two sisters, though she is incredibly food motivated! Her current foster mom has been working hard with her at meal times and with treats to get her used to being pet and handled. Dusk has made great progress with this technique. When the food is around she will meow for it, rub on her foster moms ankles, and even climb into her lap! She is so close to trusting and just needs patience and time to get comfortable with her people. Once she feels safe, she enjoys being pet and can be very curious! Dusk and Sallie have lived around other cats and cat-savvy dogs. Dusk and Sallie must be adopted together. Dusk gets a lot of comfort from Sallie and has a hard time without her, plus life is better with a sister by your side! Dusk is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and negative for FIV/FeLV.
