About Whiskers

Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started. Meet Whiskers! This sweet little lady is full of delightful personality. She adores cuddling and playtime, and she has already shown she can get along wonderfully with other cats, small dogs, and children. Whiskers is the definition of sweet and perfectly imperfect, making her absolutely charming to everyone she meets. What makes Whiskers stand out is her adorable nub tail and the unique way she moves due to a slight limp. She has shown incredible resilience after being rescued from a tough situation in Oklahoma, where she suffered injuries after being hit by a car and lost her kittens. Despite a difficult start, including a tail amputation and a recovery that left her incontinent, Whiskers has adapted beautifully to wearing diapers and does not let anything dampen her spirit. She requires her bladder to be expressed twice daily, but she handles her routine like a pro and remains as loving as ever. With an estimated DOB of June 2024, Whiskers is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and has tested FIV/Felv negative. To help her settle into her forever home, adopters will receive a special package of goodies valued at around $100 from partner pet stores (Tabby & Jacks and All Paws) when visiting after adoption. Misfit Felines Inc is a foster-based 501(c)3 rescue with all cats living in loving foster homes. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
