DAVINA

My story

PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BELOW. IT WILL ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS. If you still have questions after, we are happy to respond through email. It is a long read and a long adoption process. Please understand we are ensuring that our babies go to great homes and we don't know you personally (yet). Understand that this is an adoption of a beautiful little soul that deserves the absolute best life. The average lifespan of a cat is 13 to 20 years. Some cats even live into their thirties, although this is far less common. So don't let that discourage you from adopting an adult cat! Rescue mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old. DAVINA was saved by an independent rescuer. The lady was killed by a drunk driver. We were asked to help with her rescues and to our dismay, her house was a horrific hoarding case. We pulled 55 cats that were still alive. Our rescue took 26 of those cats into out rescue. Meet DAVINA , a sweet Tortoiseshell from the heart of recovery, whose journey to happiness is as inspiring as it is heartwarming. With her beautiful multi-colored coat and soulful eyes, she’s a true survivor, and now, she’s ready to share her love and affection with a new family who’ll appreciate her gentle nature. Though DAVINA may have had a rough start, she's now a little ball of joy, especially when it comes to getting all the pets and scratches she can. She’s a total lap cat who loves cozying up beside you, curling into a contented little circle when she's especially happy (and she does this oh-so-cutely!). While she’s not the biggest fan of being picked up—having been through a lot in her past—she’ll gladly come to you for attention and snuggle time. Once she’s comfortable, she’ll want to be near you, soaking in your company as you unwind together. DAVINA also has a soft spot for wet food, and she’s not shy about showing her excitement when it’s mealtime. Her toothless grin might make her look even more adorable, but it’s just part of her charm. After surviving a tough time in a hoarder home, she’s now thriving in a safe and loving environment, and you can see it in her bright, inquisitive eyes. While she may have been through some rough patches, DAVINA is living proof that a little love and care can transform a life. She’s ready to bring peace, warmth, and a little purr-filled joy into a home where she can be pampered, adored, and treated like the queen she is. Could your home be the perfect place for this sweet, resilient kitty?
