Currently located in Cumberland, ME, she would thrive in a quieter setting where she can feel safe and cared for.

About Miso

Miso is a striking lady with a flair for the dramatic, but her looks shouldn't be the only reason to adopt her. With a "diva" attitude, Miso isn't suited for first-time cat owners or households with children. She prefers interactions on her terms, and if overstimulated, she might use a gentle reminder with her teeth to express her discomfort. One unique aspect of Miso’s behavior is her tendency to stand in the litter box and sometimes misfire, so her future home should be ready to accommodate this quirk. Miso has been known to exhibit jealousy, which we're actively working on. She’s currently on a daily transdermal medication that has significantly improved her stress levels at the shelter. Her dislike for cages has been noted by our medical team, so it's a good idea to inform your vet that Miso may need extra time during examinations. A home that understands her needs will allow her to flourish. Your new companion is waiting for you. Start the adoption process today!
