Dash, an exquisite 11-month-old, spayed, oriental-mix lady, tries to persuade visitors that she’d add elegance and interest to any home. Her Siamese face and body should help Dash appeal to those who love that exotic breed. Her unique, fascinatingly blended coat should attract someone who enjoys a friend who isn’t ordinary or boring.

Yet, Dash’s prettiness isn’t the best reason to take her home. Sometime, somewhere in her brief past, Dash learned to love and trust people. She came to the shelter, after wandering, surviving somehow on the streets alone, with those feelings and beliefs intact.

Dash doesn’t understand or remember that she was betrayed by the people who cuddled her as a kitten. She remembers only that, once upon a time, she was loved.
