Dash is a handsome 2-year-old tabby with a striking white chest and soulful eyes that tell the story of his journey. This sweet boy has had a tough start in life, and he’s still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. Shelter life feels a little overwhelming for him right now, so he may seem shy when you first meet him - but beneath that cautious exterior is a gentle heart just waiting to bloom. Dash is looking for a patient, understanding person who will let him move at his own pace. With a calm home, soft voices, and a little time, he’s sure to grow more confident each day. Watching a shy cat learn to trust and come out of his shell is an incredibly special experience, and Dash is ready to take that journey with someone who believes in him. If you have a quiet home and a kind heart, Dash may be the perfect companion for you. Give this sweet boy the second chance he deserves, and you’ll gain a loyal friend for life.
