Meet Dexter – A Quiet Boy with a Gentle Spirit

Dexter is a shy and sensitive soul who’s looking for a calm, understanding home where he can truly feel safe and loved. He may not be the first to greet you at the door, but with patience, kindness, and a little time, Dexter will begin to show you his soft and sweet personality.

This quiet boy thrives in a peaceful environment and would do best with a family who understands that trust is something earned slowly-and beautifully. If you’re the kind of person who finds joy in small milestones, like a gentle head bump or the first time he curls up near you, then Dexter might be your perfect match.

He doesn’t ask for much-just a cozy spot, a predictable routine, and someone who sees the magic in helping a shy cat come out of his shell.

🐾 Dexter is waiting for a special someone who believes in second chances and the quietest kind of love-the kind that grows stronger every day.

While I'm awaiting my forever home, I'm being fed Royal Canin, who are generous partners of AWLQ!

Please Note:

Please visit our Animal Rehoming Centres during opening hours to meet our animals and adopt. No appointment is needed. For select animals, we will require an email application. Where this is the case, instructions will be specified on the animal's profile.

This website is live and updates frequently. To check if an animal is available, please check their adoption profile. If it is active and hasn't been marked as 'adopted', the animal is still here.

Please be aware there is a chance that by the time you arrive at our location, the animal you have an interest in might have been adopted, or another party might be going through the adoption process.
