Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Adopted this adorable kitten, along with another, a couple weeks ago. We did not realize our two 10 year old Border Collies would look upon the kittens as enemies & there is just no way the dogs will accept our two new kittens, much to our disappointment. The adoption name was Nina but we re-named her Dash as she is very quick & dashes from one toy to the next or into your lap. She is very loving and seems to be quite smart. Her buddy, Dolly, whom we adopted with Dash, appears to be Dash's best friend & they are both happy to share a lap when not playing. We are keeping them in a spare bedroom with two cat trees & various toys. We would be happy to include one of the cat trees with her if wanted. Dash is completely litter box trained & is beginning to understand commands & hand signals. We are very disappointed that we can't keep her but the dogs are just too much of a threat.

We did not realize our two 10 year old Border Collies would look upon the kittens as enemies & there is just no way the dogs will accept our two new kittens, much to our disappointment. The adoption name was Piper but we re-named her Dolly as she is very pretty and sweet, loving to have her belly rubbed. She is very loving and seems to be quite smart.

We are hoping to keep them together but would understand if that is not possible.
