About Missy

Missy is eager to find a cozy lap to call her own, ideally with someone retired who can spend ample time with her. She adores giving kisses and soaking up attention. Going for walks is a favorite pastime, and she prefers being indoors, especially on rainy days with a blanket to snuggle into. She enjoys exploring the yard but feels happiest curled up next to you on the couch. Missy is great with cats and gets along well with dogs, but she prefers a home without young children. This senior gal has been spayed and her vaccinations are up to date. If you feel like you can provide the loving home Missy deserves, get ready to apply for adoption!
