Dutches

Dutches is a confident, independent girl with plenty of energy and a curious nature.

Once she settled into foster care, it only took a couple of days before she was exploring the house, playing with balls and finding all sorts of little ways to keep herself entertained.

She enjoys affection, but very much on her own terms, and is happiest with people who respect her space rather than expecting constant cuddles. Dutches also didn't seem particularly comfortable sharing her foster home with another cat, so she may prefer being the only cat in the household or would need any feline introductions to be taken very slowly.

She likes her environment to feel safe and predictable, including around her litter tray, so a quiet, private and consistently clean toileting area will help her settle well. Dutches also loves her food and has plenty of personality to keep life interesting.

For someone looking for a playful, independent cat who enjoys exploring just as much as having some quiet time to herself, Dutches could be a lovely match. We encourage you to come and meet her at our North Melbourne shelter as soon as possible, as our cats cannot be placed on hold.
