PET OF THE WEEK: Found in a Shed With Kittens, Missy Needs a New Home

Little Miss Missy -- actually she’s a plus-size girl -- was found in a storage shed nursing her newborn kittens, and now she’s at in Houghton.

She was an attentive and caring mama cat, full of love for her babies, but they have all been adopted, leaving her looking for a home.

Missy is 6 year old, quiet and gentle. While in foster care, Missy loved the companionship of humans and was known to follow her foster parents around from room to room like a baby duckling. She is easy-going, affectionate and sweet natured.

She has a fondness for catnip and small ball toys. Missy prefers a quiet environment, and loud noises startle her. She does just fine with other cats, but dogs might not be a good idea.

Missy is a big cat, but has been eating special food and is slowly but surely slimming down to a healthier weight. She is up-to-date on her shots, micro-chipped, and she won’t be having any more kittens.
