My name is Dora!

Dora is a super-playful, curious and loving kitten, and a very unusual orange female. (Most orange cats are male.)   Our vet named her "Dora the Explorer" upon meeting her, because she is always up for a new adventure!  Dora loves to chase dangling feathers or toy mice and balls, or she will have a chase-and-wrestle with her tortoiseshell sister Devi when she is not exploring.

Dora and Devi are a wonderfully complementary pair.  While both are fun-loving and affectionate, Dora will always want a play session before a cuddle while Devi favors a lap and a nap before playtime with you.

As tiny newborns, Dora and Devi were hidden away on the roof of a house, under the eaves, by their mama-cat.  We spent weeks trying to find these kittens, and only found them when they got big enough to come out of hiding and begin to explore the roof on their own.  But they were terribly underweight because there was no food on the roof, so they only had their mama's milk supply, which was inadequate for kittens who should have been weaned and eating solid food weeks earlier.  However the upside of their roof isolation was that they were hungry enough to be very friendly to people who provided regular meals!
