Meet Dehya, a super-sweet domestic shorthair mix with an unusual coat of many colors. She is just under 2 years of age and is a dainty 8 pounds. She came to the SPCA of Texas as a stray and had kittens. The kittens are now cared for, and Dehya needs to find a good home of her own. Since she was on her own for so long, it takes a minute or two for her to trust a new person, but when she does, it’s cuteness galore from there on out. Dehya is housed at the SPCA of Texas Dallas Animal Care Center.
