About Missy

Meet Missy! Missy is a 4.5 year old, spayed female cat. She currently weighs around 8 pounds. Missy is a very sweet and a little bit shy girl, who’s more than ready to find her forever home. She loves hanging out with other cats and enjoys playtime as much as lounging in a sunny spot. Missy is very affectionate once she gets a chance to know you! She has lived with dogs and is comfortable around them, and loves to cuddle! All kittens and cats will be adopted out with current, age-appropriate vaccines, have been dewormed, started on flea and heartworm prevention, and will be spayed/neutered at our vet when they reach the appropriate age. They have also been tested for FeLV/FIV and are negative! $50 adoption fee or 2 friends for $75 To complete our online cat adoption application, or to view adoption policies and view other available cats, please visit: https://www.peppermintpiganimalrescue.org/pet-adoption/available-cats/ To learn more about Peppermint Pig Animal Rescue and Peppermint Pig Thrift and Gift, learn how to get involved, or to make a donation, please visit: linktr.ee/peppermintpigcincy

About Domestic Long Hair Cats

Domestic Long Hairs are gorgeous, fluffy cats with luxurious coats and endearing personalities. Not a specific breed, they represent the long-haired segment of mixed-heritage cats and are among the most common cats in shelters. Each one has a unique appearance and personality shaped by their diverse genetic background.

Adopting a Domestic Long Hair means welcoming a stunning, loving cat who deserves a forever home. Their flowing coats require regular brushing, but the bonding time during grooming is its own reward. These cats are as diverse in personality as they are in appearance - you're sure to find the perfect match.

Adopting in Cincinnati, OH

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

22°F to 40°F

Dec – Feb

Cold temperatures and moderate snowfall make Cincinnati’s hilly sidewalks icy and hazardous. Use paw protection on salted surfaces and keep walks shorter on steep hills during icy conditions. Wind off the Ohio River adds chill, so small breeds benefit from insulated coats.

Spring

38°F to 68°F

Mar – May

Mild temperatures and blooming landscapes make spring ideal for exploring the riverfront parks and hillside green spaces. Rain is frequent, so have towels ready for muddy paws. Start flea and tick prevention early, as the Ohio Valley’s warm, humid conditions support year-round pest activity.

Summer

65°F to 88°F

Jun – Aug

Hot and humid conditions require limiting outdoor exercise to cooler morning and evening hours. The Ohio Valley humidity can make temperatures feel much worse than they are, so watch for heavy panting and lethargy. Always carry water and seek shaded routes in the city’s many parks.
