About this Cat
Meet Blue Dahlia – a quiet beauty with a gentle heart and a blossoming spirit. Blue Dahlia is a stunning feline looking for a calm, animal-free home where she can truly shine. She’s the kind of cat who needs a little time and space to settle in—but once she does, she’ll reward your patience with affection and quiet companionship. When Blue Dahlia first arrived, she was shy and uncertain, spending her first couple of days tucked away in a quiet corner. But with time and a little kindness, she began seeking out attention, brushing up against her foster for pets, and even rolling over to show off her belly for a good brushing session (her favorite!). She’s not a fan of being picked up and prefers affection on her own terms—she’ll jump in your lap when she’s ready and nudge you with her head when she wants more attention. While she’s not into toys, she does enjoy a short game with a laser pointer before retiring to a cozy nap spot. One of her most endearing quirks? She occasionally raises and quivers her tail in delight—a sign she’s feeling happy and secure. Blue Dahlia enjoys watching the world go by from a sunny window or patio door and may curl up on your bed to sleep near you through the night. She’s a vocal girl around mealtimes and eats well most of the time. While she’s not a fan of the kennel and still won’t allow herself to be picked up, her affectionate, observant nature continues to unfold a little more each day. If you’re someone who values a more independent but loving cat—who won’t crowd you but will absolutely bond with you—Blue Dahlia might just be your perfect match. Blue Dahlia is from an owner surrender. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.

Adopt Blue Dahlia and Receive Blue Dahlia's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Blue Dahlia's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Blue Dahlia's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Blue Dahlia, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Blue Dahlia's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Blue Dahlia was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Blue Dahlia’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Blue Dahlia’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Blue Dahlia’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
