Dovey Looking for Home with Lots of TLC

Sweet cat with a purr that sounds almost musical up for adoption.

We've added a new feature to our Sunday line-up -- stories about dogs and cats who need a good home. These are animals who have been rescued from shelters in north Georgia by an organization called Angels Among Us Pet Rescue. The organization operates through a network of foster homes in the north metro Atlanta area.

Today, we're introducing a lovable cat named Dovey. According to the Angels Among Us cat volunteers, Dovey is a very special and unique little cat. She has never had a real home as far as they know, and they'd so much love to find a wonderful home for this sweet cat.

 Here's how Angels' Cat Program Coordinator, Deborah Smith, describes Dovey: "We’ll start out by saying that everyone who meets Dovey completely falls in love with her. Calling her sweet doesn’t do her justice. She is simply a lovely little cat who loves everyone, is very mellow, and who doesn’t let anything phase her.

"She likes people, other cats (and other cats all seem to like her), and dogs. She is very undemanding, and a truly low-maintenance cat. We have found, however, that she is very grateful for a small treat in the morning…and then she’s good to go for the rest of the day!"

 Smith says that Dovey has one very unique and endearing characteristic. She has a very audible purr that sounds like a bird cooing. (Hence her name, Dovey.) Her purring is almost musical, and there’s no doubt at all when she’s feeling particularly happy…which is almost all the time.

 Although the volunteers are not quite sure how old Dovey is, but one of the group's vet guesses around she is 8 years old. She seems extremely healthy with a thick coat of fur.

 Dovey would make a wonderful cat for someone who lives in an apartment or small home. She loves hanging out on the couch or any comfortable place, and likes keeping her foster "mom" company when she reads, watches TV, or works on the computer. Dovey would do fine with another cat or cats, but also would be fine by herself…assuming she gets lots of TLC from her new family.

 Dovey is a tidy cat and good about using her litter box.

Like all of Angels' rescued cats, Dovey has been altered and is up to date on vaccinations, has been tested for feline leukemia, feline AIDS and heartworm disease, has been provided parasite control treatment, and is micro-chipped.
