About Miso

Miso is a 3-year-old female cat who prefers the company of other cats and would rather keep her distance from people. She isn’t interested in living as a house pet and is looking for a barn or straw home where she can come and go as she pleases, burrow in for warmth when it’s cold, and keep the rodent population in check. Miso would do well in a working cat role; she has experience fending for herself, and she’s likely to be a strong mouser. She gets along well with other cats but not with children or very busy environments. Miso is spayed and up to date on her rabies and distemper vaccines, so she’s ready to get straight to work wherever she lands. If you can offer steady shelter, food, and water, she’ll repay you with pest control and quiet companionship on her terms. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
