A cat is giving her all at a vet clinic, trying to get herself noticed until she has a place she can call home.

Dolly Monroe, a delightful cat named after Dolly Parton and Marilyn Monroe, arrived at a veterinary clinic, eager for a fresh start.
She had been wandering the streets, fending for herself, until an independent rescuer stumbled upon her. The friendly stray made her case by walking up to the rescuer as if she’d been waiting for this moment her entire life.
Upon arriving at the vet clinic, Monroe was thrilled to receive attention and care and finally enjoy a full meal.

Estimated to be 1-2 years old, Monroe was about the size of a teenage cat. She adored attention as much as she loved food, eagerly trailing the staff and always ready to lend a paw. “She is the sweetest girl and very social, too friendly to live life outside as a colony cat,” Sparkle Cat Rescue shared.
Monroe was happy and spirited, strutting around with her tail held high. Grateful to be safe indoors, she never looked back.

Sparkle Cat Rescue was contacted to help Monroe find her forever home. While they searched for the perfect match, Monroe stayed at the vet’s office, charming the staff with her purrs and snuggles and soaking up all the love they offered.
She even “supervised” them in the storage area, making sure the food and supplies were fully stocked.

She claimed her favorite perch by the window, watching little critters while basking in the warm sunlight. Over time, she blossomed into a gorgeous cat with her signature beauty marks and captivating gemstone green eyes.
As days turned into weeks and weeks into months, Monroe patiently waited for the right family to find her.

After living at the clinic for a year, she knows everyone and their routines by heart. She’s become the highlight of their day, greeting them with her best looks, soft purrs, and joyful roly-polies.
She loves being the center of attention but happily shares the spotlight with other cats at the clinic. She is always ready for a new adventure with her feline friends.

After a year of indoor life, she has filled out nicely and come into her own. While she has enjoyed her time helping out at the clinic, she’s now ready to begin a new chapter in a place she can truly call her own.
“She’s a silly, playful girl who loves lounging in the window hammock seat.”
