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

Pretty 6-year-old is a big girl on a diet and quiet, gentle and loving.

Little Miss Missy -- actually sheโ€™s a plus-size girl -- was found in a storage shed nursing her newborn kittens, and now sheโ€™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 wonโ€™t be having any more kittens.

If you can provide a home for Missy or would like to check her out, seeย www.meowcatrescue.orgย or callย 425-822-6369.
