SBS Cats: Katya the biologist and Dahlia the cat

SBS Cats is a collection of stories about unusual cats from the community. Partly entertainment, partly therapy, but mostly — it's a way to learn about the cool cats and their lives. In the first episode of the series, we talk to Katya about her cat Dahlia. Katya adopted Dahlia from a shelter, and helped her recover physically and mentally. Today Katya and Dahlia venture out to national parks and beaches, on bicycles, motorcycles and even boats.

Katya adopted Dahlia in February 2022. This is what Dahlia looked like back then.

Within the first year with Katya, Dahlia recovered both physically and mentally. This is what Dahlia looks like today.
