‘The Dora’ is Tortie of the Week

Our final Tortie of the Week for August is ‘The Dora’, who lives with her owner Hayley in Mount Pleasant.

The Dora was born on October 1st 2006, but it wasn’t until August 1st 2019 that Hayley found her when on a visit to the vet to pick up some heart medicine for her dog.

Hayley immediately felt a very strong connections and was delighted when she found that The Dora was available for adoption.

Her previous owners had taken in a puppy and moved away, leaving The Dora at the shelter. She had been passed around some of the staff, but no-one was willing to adopt her as The Dora was 12 years old at the time and most people wanted younger cats or kittens.

The Dora moved in with Hayley on August 23rd 2019, and she made sure that The Dora no longer had to worry about anything. Hayley was living in Port Washington, Wisconsin at the time, and every level of her home had food and water for her.

The Dora had the largest bedroom in the house which was filled with toys, scratching posts, beds and food and water so she could feel special and safe.

Hayley’s life has taken several major turns since she took in The Dora, and they now live in Mount Pleasant. The Dora has helped her get through some tough times and the question is, ‘Who rescued who?.

What a lovely story and thank you to Hayley for sharing. You can check out more tortie fun on our X, Facebook and Instagram pages. You can also check out tortie videos on our You Tube channel.

Look out for the next Tortie of the Week next week!
