About Dash

Lets make it official, apply to adopt! Dash and Kit are a bonded pair of brothers looking for their forever home together. Adopted as kittens, they were deeply loved in their original home until circumstance forced their devoted owner to make the heartbreaking decision to return them for their safety. Now safe with LapCats, they're ready for a new start and eager to find a family who can cherish them just as much. Dash—the confident leader of the duo—is outgoing, social, and loves to be involved in whatever’s going on. He’s affectionate and mixes a commanding presence with a “lovebug” attitude. Kit Kat, on the other hand, is sensitive, gentle, and takes his time opening up. Once Kit Kat trusts you, he forms a deep bond and becomes your loyal companion. His transition may take patience, but the reward is a truly loving friendship. These brothers have supported each other through everything and would be happiest staying together. Although Dash could potentially adjust solo, Kit Kat’s gentle nature means separate adoption would be hard for him. If you’re patient and want to give two amazing cats a second chance, Dash and Kit are ready to meet you. All LapCats felines receive full medical care, including vaccinations, FELV testing, spay/neuter, and microchipping. A free exam and goodie bag are provided with every adoption. Out-of-state adoptions are not permitted for the safety of our cats. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
