Snowshoe kittens & cats in National City, California

*** Missy is in a foster home. ***Cream/brown/white Snowshoe mix, short hair, spayed female, born approx. 7/1/21, #19231Cats: may like a companion Dogs: probably not Children: tweens+ / adultsMissy was found fending for herself on the streets of LA and was taken to a local shelter where she was given a late-pregnancy spay. As she was recovering from that, she came down with a respiratory infection and stopped eating; she had already been skinny as her resources went into her pregnancy. It was then that she came to The Rescue House. With TLC and medical care, she has recovered from her infection and is eating heartily to regain necessary weight.Missy is still in the process of figuring out her new life of ready food and pampering; it was a big change, after all, and Missy most of all wants to feel safe. Yet even in the month she’s been into our care she has made leaps and bounds toward becoming an amazing future companion to her adopter. She first spent her days hiding and only coming out to eat at night. Now she is coming out to explore, happily devour her Churu treats, and come perch by the window. While she still favors secure nooks and a quiet environment, when her foster goes to find her Missy really leans into the pets and will chirp and purr. She is slowly discovering what toys she likes (the round trackball tower) and what she doesn’t like (wands with bells). She is a huge sweetie! When a cat is outwardly shy like Missy, she can get passed over for more blatantly outgoing cats, but the strides she has made should not be taken lightly and show the promise of what she can become with a patient and accepting adopter.While she has not yet interacted with any other cats in foster care, we think Missy may like a welcoming kitty companion to both be her friend and to help her boost her confidence. We don’t know her thoughts on dogs. Younger or boisterous children would not be a good fit. She needs a quieter and routine-structured environment. Missy’s sweet nature is already clear, and she just needs a special person to give her the time to fully flourish. Will you give her that chance?
