My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Missy
Missy is a young, female cat with beautiful, soft grey fur and stunning pale green eyes. Although an exact date is unknown, she was likely born in mid-February 2024. In need of a birthdate, February 14, was selected - Valentine's Day. She has a sweet nature, however, she can be timid in new situations. She would do well in a home without another cat, however, she is very friendly towards other cats. She would thrive in a home with one or more cats.
She loves to be petted even while eating and will even stop eating just to enjoy some affection, purring loudly.
Missy was abandoned inside a shabby cardboard box on someone's front porch. At sunrise her wails of misery were heard by the people inside the house. They went out and found a box with an attached note that read: "We have been evicted and cannot keep this cat. Please take care of her. They carefully opened the box and looked into the eyes of a frightened young cat.
Her fosters say she is smart and observant and learns quickly. She learns best by watching another cat. She imitates what they do. If she sees you pet the other cat, she wants that too. Once she trusts you, she will love you forever. In a loving home Missy can learn to be bold and confident. She uses her litter box and has never has an accident.
She yearns to be in her forever home. All Missy needs is a kindhearted owner in quiet homer. In return, Missy will love you forever if you open your heart and home to this shy little cat.
