About Missy

Meet Missy, a big and striking lady who makes her opinions known. She came in as a stray and clearly never missed a meal. The shelter has been a tough adjustment for her, and some days she still wants everyone to hear about it. Missy is independent and likes things her way. She’s vocal, will give you a yell when she wants something, and isn’t shy about swatting if she’s being moved where she doesn’t want to go. But if you let her do her thing, she transforms into quite a sweet companion—sometimes lounging nearby, other times curling up right next to you. Missy doesn’t want to share her space with other cats and will not do well in a household with kids or dogs. She’s looking for an adult-only home where she can set the pace and get plenty of attention on her terms. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
