Pet of the week: Meet Daisy

After months of porch snacks, neighborhood exploring and winning hearts one meow at a time, Daisy is finally ready to trade her stray life for a comfy spot in someone’s home. 

Sweet little Daisy was caught and brought to the shelter as a stray toward the end of June. Being the smart little feline she is, her senses told her exactly where to go when she was hungry. A wonderfully caring individual put food on her porch daily for this sweet gal.

The best home for this spicy little lady would be one with no other cats. She loves being the center of attention and doesn’t seem to like sharing the spotlight with other felines. Dogs don’t seem to bother her, but she hasn’t been tested up close. Cuddling is not one of her favorite things, and she will develop a little attitude if you try to keep her still for too long. Energetic and inquisitive, she loves to roam freely and play with her toys.

Daisy weighs around 8 pounds and looks forward to mealtime, especially canned food every morning. She has adjusted to a regular routine and realizes she doesn’t have to hunt or scavenge anymore.

Daisy has been fully vetted, including a recent rabies shot. She is spayed, dewormed and flea‑treated. The shelter did locate a microchip when she arrived but had no luck in finding her owner.

This energetic little ball of fur is patiently waiting for someone who has the perfect spot for her to roam and explore. To meet Daisy, call the shelter at 309‑852‑0040 or stop in anytime during visiting hours. Adoption fee is $60.
