About Dorian (Domestic short hair) in Aurora

Dorian is waiting for you at Animal Rescue of the Rockies in Aurora, CO 80012. Dory and Jacob are not your typical “pick-me-up-and-cuddle” cats – they are shy and have had a rough life – they’re true rescue cats! They both started their lives outdoors but were rescued from opposite sides of Colorado and brought into the warm comfort of couches and bedspreads. Never having met humans before, they were fraidy-cats – hiding, only coming out for food, learning very slowly that humans are safe. They were adopted to separate homes but neither could live without the other. When they both returned to their foster around the same time, they practically melted into each other’s paws.

Trust and food first – love comes afterward. The videos of them show how wonderful and affectionate they are – but don’t be fooled! They will take many Churus and slow, patient adopters who truly want to rescue them before they’re this sweet! They probably shouldn’t go to homes with young kids, as children want to bond with their new friends a little too quickly for the liking of these guys.Dory is an 8-month-old with the cutest crossed eyes you’ve ever seen and a personality that’s equal parts sassy and sweet. She started life as the most shy girl of her litter, and while she’s come an incredibly long way—she can be petted, and will happily purr away in bed—she still needs interactions to be on her terms. If she gets overstimulated, she will swat (claws included), especially if someone pushes past her boundaries. But here’s the thing: when you respect her space, she chooses you. And when she does, she’s affectionate, snuggly, and deeply loyal. It’s just going to take time. Bonus: she is extremely food-
