About Melissa

Meet Melissa. This beautiful 2-year-old brown and white tabby has the most adorable polydactyl paws and an even bigger heart. From the moment she was found, it was clear that Melissa was comfortable with people and had likely been someone’s cherished pet until very recently. Incredibly outgoing and friendly, she showed none of the hesitation you might expect from a cat who has spent time outdoors. Sadly, everything indicated that sweet Melissa had been abandoned and thrust into a new, uncertain life. Despite her past, Melissa retains a remarkable trust in people. She is extremely affectionate, loves attention, and is a true lap cat, happiest when curled up close to her human. Social with other cats, she seems to make friends wherever she goes. And those paws! With her oversized “mittens,” Melissa’s polydactyl features only add to her charm. She undoubtedly knows what it means to be loved and now deserves a family that will ensure she never has to wonder where she belongs again. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
