Dash

Mixed Breed ยท Female ยท Kitten ยท 4 months

Meet Dash .๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’• Dash is a 12-week-old little girl who clearly worked very hard on her name! ๐Ÿ˜น Her first adventure involved escaping a trap and hiding deep inside a car dashboard. Yesโ€ฆ the dashboard! ๐Ÿ˜‚ It took two extra people and two extra hours to safely get her out. Since arriving in foster care, Dash has been getting along beautifully with the resident cats. She loves playing chase, sleeping in her donut bed, and, once she feels comfortable, giving you the loudest purrs and enjoying lots of chin scratches. ๐Ÿ’• Dash is a little nervous around strangers and young children, so she would be happiest in a calm, child-free home with a patient person or couple. A friendly resident cat or kitten would be a wonderful bonus โ€” Dash loves having feline friends around. She has already taught us two things: life is one big adventure, and adventures are much better with friends! ๐Ÿพ Dash will be ready for her next adventure in mid-September โ€” hopefully this one leads to a loving forever home, a cat friend, and plenty of cosy napsโ€ฆ with no dashboards involved! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’• Cat Adoption Application DAFM No KPT 200001C

About Dash

What life with Dash looks like

Dash is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Laois SPCA in Portlaoise, Co. Laois.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months โ€” most shelters arrange this before adoption.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ชAdopting from Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

Frequently asked

Adopting Dash, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Dash?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Laois SPCA handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Dash on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Dash if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad โ€” Laois SPCA will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra โ‚ฌ100โ€“โ‚ฌ350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Dash already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported โ€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Dash isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work โ€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Laois SPCA early rather than rehoming privately; they know Dash and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect โ€” names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
