"You *wear* the crown, *be* the crown, you *are* the crown!" Meet Suerte, an absolute diva of Dakin who is looking for a new home to be top tier. She came in to Dakin as a stray cat so we don't know too much about her, but we do know she can be a bit sassy. She loves your attention and will rub against your legs when she wants, but if you pet her too much she'll walk away from you like you offended everything she lives for. She does well with other cats, dogs are unknown, and due to her sassy self she would do best with older kids. Sassy cats are usually confident, intelligent and active. They often don’t like to be held, or have places on their bodies that they prefer not to be touched. When handled or petted in ways they do not prefer, they are likely to swat, nip or bite. They will be happiest in adult only homes or those with older kids who understand cats that have rules and will leave them alone. If they are bored then they may get into trouble and often need extra playtime in order to be their best selves. Sassy cats will go home with a behavior plan that will need to be followed in order for EVERYONE in the home to be happy. Typically, sassy cats are not for first-time cat owners.

Nike is a modern day Garfield, minus the orange hair and lasagna. He is a couch potato who loves to be pet and snuggle Nike loves to bird watch and chase a laser pointer when he isn’t snuggled on the top of the couch Food is his favorite! He does not over eat, but he is a hefty boy, approximately 18lbs. He does have a short tail, he was born that way, but he is perfectly healthy and it does not affect him Unfortunately he needs a new house as our new baby is allergic to him. He does shed a bit which causes allergies to her. I’m hoping he can find a loving home as soon as possible
