Daphne

Name: Daphne Age: About 5 years Breed: Domestic short hair Reason for being at the shelter: Return - not a good fit Description: Update: Daphne was recently in a foster-to-adopt home but it didn’t work out and it wasn’t the right fit. So she’s back at the shelter and available for adoption. Daphne is an all-gray colored female about 5 years old. She loves other cats, Henry and Jasper particularly, and will sleep and snuggle with them. She assumed the mothering or grandmothering role of the group. She also loves lap time with people but she does require plenty of time to adjust to change, adapting into a new home and developing a bond of trust with people. Daphne has a petite stature but has the biggest heart for her male buddies. Daphne is one of a household of cats that were taken into a foster home after the owner passed away. The owner loved them a lot but as his health faded, he was no longer able to properly care for the cats anymore. They were in rough shape, severely underweight, and flea infested. Since being placed into a foster home, they have done really well and have mostly recovered from their poor health plight and are now ready for adoption. These cats have lived together since they were kittens. Although only two of the group, Jasper and Ted, are actual littermates, they all get along well and are sociable with each other. They are all very sweet and easily make friends despite some initial shyness. They would benefit most from being adopted as pairs or by joining other cat(s) in a home. This group lived in an adult household. Their exposure to dogs and/or kids is unknown but is probably unlikely so they would do best in an adult home.
