Dallas's Profile

Hi, I’m Dallas!

Hi there, I’m Dallas, a 3-year-old cat who is quickly coming out of my shell and eagerly awaiting my forever family. I have a knack for people-watching and am certain to capture your attention with my curious gaze. One quirky thing about me is that my lips always seem to be stuck on my teeth, giving me a unique and endearing look! If you’re looking for a special feline friend who will bring joy and charm into your life, look no further! Adopt me, Dallas, and I promise to be a loyal and loving companion.

The staff at the OHS call me a Poet! Did you know that Poets thrive in calm, stable environments? When things are a little too new and different, these kitties have a hard time showing their true personalities. Because Poets find change so hard, they usually like lots of safe places to hide and high perches to rest on. While each Poet is a little different, things that usually bring them out of their shell include playing with their favourite toys, eating some of their favourite treats, and seeking attention from their favourite people. During periods of change, Poets need a safe refuge where they be surrounded by these favourite things.

Poets can have different preferences, and it might take a little while to figure them out. Some Poets prefer play interactions where they can stalk and hunt in a fun game with you, while others may enjoy curling in your lap for a cozy snooze. While you may not see a lot of them at first, they’ll be thinking of you… and after they settle in, you’ll think they’ve always belonged!

I am looking for a home with no other cats!

I am FIV positive, (Feline immunodeficiency virus). With proper care, FIV-positive cats can live many healthy years, and in fact, may eventually pass away from a cause unrelated to FIV! A veterinarian may recommend further testing for me and would need to monitor my health!

I am a “Foster-Me-First” adoption. You can find more information about the Foster-Me-First Program at https://ottawahumane.ca/adopt/adoption-faq/#answer13 or call to speak to the adoption team.
