About Dobby:

Sweet, gentle, and very shy — she bonds slowly but deeply once she trusts you.

• Affectionate on her own terms: enjoys quiet laps, soft petting, and gentle conversation.
• Prefers calm, predictable environments and retreats to a safe spot when overwhelmed.

Reason for rehoming:

• Loving home needs to rehome her due to conflict with an in-home daycare (noise and frequent visitors cause her stress). We want her to be in a quieter home where she can thrive.

Personality & habits:

• Low-energy, indoor-only cat who enjoys sunbeams, soft bedding, and interactive toys.
• Takes time to come out for play or cuddles — best with patient people who understand shy cats.
• Gets along with calm, respectful adults and older children who know how to give space; may not do well with very noisy households, constant strangers, or frequent visitors.

Ideal new home:

• Quiet, stable household with a patient adopter experienced (or willing to learn) in working with shy/reserved cats.
• Someone who can offer a slow, secure introduction and consistent routine.
• Home without an active daycare environment; single-adopter or calm multi-person home preferred. Can adjust to another calm cat with slow introductions, but a single-pet home is ideal.

Health & care:

• Up-to-date on vaccinations/vet checks.
• Spayed.
• Litter-box trained.
• Previously front paw declawed.
• Prefers a secure indoor-only life.

Meeting suggestions:

• Arrange a quiet, short meeting in a calm room. Let her approach on her own; avoid forcing interactions.
• Offer treats or a toy to build trust. Allow 1–3 weeks for her to settle into a new routine.
