Missy is a gentle senior with a quiet presence and a heart that's finally getting the care she's always deserved. At twelve years old, she arrived worn down and fearful, with areas of fur loss from chronic overgrooming—clear traces of a life spent not knowing much comfort. Steady attention and space in her foster home have allowed Missy to let her guard down. Her fur is filling in and she's grown fond of window bird-watching, gentle head scratches, and the occasional midnight jingle ball. Sometimes she even chats quietly when she feels secure. Missy continues a low-dose antidepressant for anxiety. Though she has spent time near other cats and a large dog, she's clearest when she shows she really prefers the calm of being an only pet. Any adopter should expect to go slow and prioritize her sense of safety. If you have a patient home and want to give a resilient, older cat the soft landing she’s been missing, Missy will meet your kindness with quiet trust over time. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
