My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Who wants to steal the “heart” of Dixie? Cute as a button and oh so petite, Dixie is a super playful, two year old love bug. She loves to play with anything on a string and could chase pipe cleaners and pom poms all day long! She goes wild for HexBugs too! Dixie can’t get enough of cardboard scratchers. Not just to scratch, but she loves to lounge on them, so she’ll need a supply of scratchers big enough to nap on. This little lady is so well behaved. She never uses her claws where she’s not supposed to and she doesn’t even mind having them cut! Dixie LOVES her belly rubs and chin scratches. She’ll even hold your arm so you don’t stop petting her. In return, she’ll give you sweet Dixie kisses! She’s a curious girl who loves to be around her people all the time. Do you work from home? That would be perfect for Dixie! She is really great at supervising your work, while she lays beside your laptop. While she’s not necessarily a lap cat, she will sit beside you – especially when you’re handing out pets and scratches. This silly girl is quite happy to be carried like a baby over your shoulder. Dixie is very gentle with children. She tolerates other cats and dogs but if she was your one and only, that would suit her just fine.

Our sweet Dixie had a bit of a rough start when she first came to the rescue. Dixie found herself as a stray at animal services, alone and pregnant. Dixie was very sick when she first arrived at her foster home with a bacterial infection. Dixie then had a very difficult birth. After delivering three kittens, there were issues with kitten number four, who eventually passed away. An emergency visit to the vet allowed Dixie to deliver her final two kittens. Dixie’s kittens were weaned early, in order for Dixie to be able to take the medications she needed to feel better herself. Despite not feeling well, Dixie was an amazing mom to her surviving kittens, who have all found their forever homes. After many months of various medications, Dixie’s bacterial infection is under control and she’s feeling so much better, she’s ready to find her own forever home now. Dixie eats only venison dry food, but it is readily available from the vet.

Dixie is sure to steal your heart, as much as you will steal hers. The family that is fortunate enough to adopt Dixie will be the luckiest family ever, as she is almost perfect in every way!
